Does Money Buy Happiness?

5-year-old shreds dad's pay

CATANIA -- A five-year-old Sicilian boy decided to put a piece of wisdom into practice and tore up R14 700 in cash after being told that money doesn't buy happiness, the local daily La Sicilia reported yesterday.

The child, not named, found his father's wallet stuffed with banknotes and ripped them into tiny pieces before throwing the remains out of the window. The previous evening his grandfather had told him that "money is just worthless trash".

His despairing 33-year-old father was planning to bank the money -- his monthly salary -- but was left with a handful of worthless confetti spread around the road outside. -- Sapa-DPA


I'm having a conversation with my daughter right after I post this thread.

The best part of the story is the kid doesn't get to eat for a month now.

I'll bet the grandfather was put in a home for that.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Let every nation know,
whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden, meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose any foe,
to assure the survival and success of liberty.

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! -Patrick Henry
