The Real Wealth

On a Sunday morning, Jack a 10-year-old kid, woke up at 6:00 am and sat down with his father in their lounge. His family was wealthy and affluent. The wealth made him selfish. He always used to give himself airs and he used to show off a lot. That was the reason he never made any friends. Everybody hated him but he would never change the way he was. He often used to wear a hoodie and a black cap. He also wore glasses, almost as big as his face.

His father somehow got to know about his behavior, although he was a busy man. So, when they were sitting together, he thought of talking to him. He asked Jack “Son, why do you treat others so badly as if they know nothing or have nothing. They are also children like you”.

Jack replied, “Dad they are so dumb, and they are so imperfect. I am so glad that we are rich”. Suddenly Jack called one of their servants and asked him to bring water for him. His dad said, “You can bring water yourself, now you need a servant for that too”. But he was too lazy to do that.

His dad said, “You should make some friends”, but Jack, would never listen.

His dad had an idea. He had a friend who was not from such a rich background, but he was his best friend. Jack’s dad told his friend about his son’s behavior and asked him if he could stay at their home for a day. His friend agreed.

Jack’s dad took him to his friend’s home. Jack saw many interesting things which he had never seen before. He enjoyed it a lot while exploring things. When they came back home his dad asked him about all things he saw.

Jack said “Dad we buy food, but they grow their food. We have only one dog, but they have 4 dogs and many cows. We have imported lanterns in our garden, but they have beautiful stars at night. We have servants to work for us, but they work for others, and most importantly we have walls to protect us, but they have friends to protect them. Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are.

We have money but we don’t have real happiness. From today, I will be humble to everyone, and I won’t insult anyone”. His dad said, “I am glad that you understood”.
