The first lad scoffed, "Easy for you to say, you're used to having nothing."
The third lad smiled, "That's where you're wrong, my friend. I've learned to see beauty in the bare minimum."
The second lad chimed in, "But what about when the rains don't come, and the crops wither away?"
The third lad's smile never wavered. "Even in the midst of scarcity, there is always something to be grateful for. A roof over our heads, the sun on our faces, the laughter of children."
"The first lad shook his head, "you're just making excuses for being poor."
The third lad's eyes sparkled, "I'm not poor, my friend. I'm rich in gratitude, and that's a wealth that can never be taken away."
As the three lads walked away, the third lad's words lingered in the air, a gentle reminder of the power of gratitude in the face of scarcity."
