A poor man asked the Buddha,
 “Why am I so poor?”
The Buddha said, “you do not learn to give.”
 So the poor man said, “If I’m not having anything?”
Buddha said: “You have a few things,
The Face, which can give a smile; 
 Mouth: you can praise or comfort others;
 The Heart: it can open up to others;
 Eyes: who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
 Body: which can be used to help others.”
 So, actually we are not poor at all, 
poverty of spirit is the real poverty.
