A Conversation

Nico: Mom, if I could become a very rich man, would you let me?

Me: It depends...

Nico: on what?

Me: Do you know what Jesus said about rich people? Do you know what the eye of a needle is?

Nico: Where you put the thread.

Me: You see how small it is, right? Well, Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to go through it than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Do you know why?

Nico: Because rich people are greedy. But I will use the money to give my kids everything they want.Would you let me?


Me: Do you think you should give your kids everything they want?

Nico: Well, if it is food, I only will give them if it is good for them. Would you let me, if I give them toys? toys are good for you. Would you let me?
