When they got back from their trip the father asked his son , ” How was the trip?” Very good, Dad!” “Did you see how poor people can be?,” the father asked. “Yeah !” “And what did you learn? “ The son answered,”I saw that we have a dog at home , and they have four . We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard,they have a whole horizon . When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer with explanation

Explanation:

a)The rich man (his own father) as poor.

As the boy realised, it is not money that makes you wealthy. Your manner of life and attitude make you wealthy.

b)Because he was surprised by his son's response he was not expecting his son to say that Poor's are rich.

He believed that his son would witness the misery of the poor and the condition in which they lived in but his son totally said the opposite by stating that Poor's are rich beacause they have more meaningful life.

e)Riches can't buy happiness
