          .............................................


    
   Pappu was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.His father was a big tycoon and a squillionaire.His family members were wallowing in the opulence and all luxuries of life.
    One day Pappu accosted his father with the question,"Dad,what is poverty?Who is a penurious?"
  His father took him to a village.They spent sometime on the farm of a poor peasant.Pappu chatted with the villagers,saw their habitats,their way of living,their possessions and their modus-operandi.
   In the evening,while vamoosing,father asked Pappu,"What did you learn,my child ? Pappu responded:
 " We have one dog,they have a pair of oxen.
We buy our foods,they grow theirs.
We have light at night,they have galaxy of stars.
We have pools,they have rivers.
We have walls to protect us,they have friends.
We have encyclopedias,they have religious books."
"Thank Dad,for showing me we are real penurious."
       Father was nonplussed.

    It is not about money that make us rich,
   Its about simplicity of having God in our lives !
