Poverty and wealth ... Two things that are antithetical, but which remain in a perfect balance in society, both in the old days and nowadays. They are relative concepts: they depend on the situation of the man who analyzes them: "The garbage of one may be the treasure of another."
there were once two very good friends who were inseparable. Being Young, they did not take into account the financial situation. The poor was not envious of the poor, and on the other side, the rich was not ashamed to be a friend of the needy child.
Years passed and the relationship between the two collapsed gradually, as the rich boy began to make friends with people from his social class, and they laughed at him when they saw him together with the helpless boy .
Seeing that his rich friend had distanced away from him, the poor man decided to talk to him, and he bitterly learned that they could no longer meet because they were ashamed of friends and family.
Then the poor boy decided to take action and work, with the goal of demonstrating to everyone that there was no difference between the poor and the rich besides the money. He began to really want to become rich.
On the other hand, the rich boy began to do only mean and harmful things, being influenced by his new "friends". He did not take into account money, and his wealth, slowly but surely, was beginning to disappear. On the contrary, the poor was becoming richer and richer.
Over the age of 15, when the two of them were already mature, they decided to meet in the place where they met in childhood :on a bench in the park.
The two were amazed at each other, being totally different;the poor became a very rich man, respected in society, the rich became very poor, begging on the streets.
From this short story, we learn that ,unfortunately, the financial status is like label, even if it can.
