Ive just been surfing the net for verses and came across this little tale ,and I would like to share it with you all . One day a father of a very rich family ,took his son on a trip into the countryside ,to see how poor folks lived, They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what was considered to be a poor family. On their return the father asked the son.... ' How was the trip? 'It was great dad' Did you get to see how poor folks live? ' Oh yes replied the son. 'So what did you learn from the trip ,?asked the father. The son answered..... I saw that we had one dog ,and they had four. We have a pool that reaches the middle of our garden . They have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden. They have the stars at night. Our patio reaches the front yard. And they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on. They have fields that go beyond our sight . We have servants , They serve others. We buy our food. They grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us. They have friends to protect them. With this the boys father was speachless. The son then added.... 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.' It certainly made me think that perhaps we are alot richer than we think eh? my friends. Love to you all ( And Mazzie Im feeling a little better mi duck ) Cazxxxx

Aw thats lovely, theres nothing quite as true as life seen through a childs eyes. Heather

I sent this to Maisie a few weeks ago as i thought it just about sums it up. Shirley Ann.

That just so true, thanks for sharing it

Caz thats so true childs eyes see thing for what they are and if we have our health thats more than money can buy Howiexxx

Thanks for reading it Heather ,it touched me too .And it certainly made me think about whats really important in our lives ,duck.I really do believe that the things that make us rich are all around us and are for free eh ? ducky?Now that sounds very deep doesnt it Heather ?,its not meant to be duck ,I hope im not sounding religious ,cos im not the least bit religious ducky.Its probably cos im just beginning to get over a very bad cough and cold .And this story really touched me very much .Take care mi duck .Love Cazxx

Hya Shirley ,did you say Maisie or Mazzie mi duck??? Thanks too for you reply Howie Love Cazxx

Thanks too for your reply Lil ,I dont put threads up on here very often ,Duck ,but I just felt that I wanted to share this one with anyone that wanted to see it ,Bye for now Lil . Love Cazxx

Cazzie, I really can't tell your from Leicester :) Hey up me duck!!

Hya Gracie ,No mi duck Im not from Leicester, but your close ,Im from Derby, ducky ,but I was visiting Leicester only last week though ,Grace ,I went to a place called Nova ,where they sell allsorts of trimmings ,beads and most importantly ,Craft stuff for making greeting cards. which is my main hobby ,and let me tell you it was like being in Aladdins Cave for me ,I thorougly enjoyed my day there.Are you from this neck of the woods then mi duck ??? Love Cazxx

You'll have to let me know where that is Caz, i'm a newbie at card making, will take a look next time I'm in Leicester, I was born in Derby! small world! Heather

Wow ,Heather, thats grand to think im chatting to a fellow Derbian .I dont really know for sure where Nova is ,but im gonna email you privately then i can give you my website and you can check my card s out ducky Ive been making them for over a year now and Im well and truly hooked.I do know that we passed Grobey Road Heart Hostpital and stayed on that road (A50, I think ,from the M1)until we got to a Railway Bridge ,but just before the bridge we turned left and Nova was just as we turned into the side road .on the right hand side ,but you do have to spend £30 or over ,cos its a trade warehouse,but you dont need membership ,I dont think ,but then again i was with someone who goes there regularly.

Thanks Caz :)
