[00:06.35]A Lesson to Learn
[00:08.65]John was the only son of a wealthy American businessman.
[00:13.35]Usually he was taken to school by the chauffeur in his father's beautiful car,
[00:17.55]before the chauffeur took John's father to his office.
[00:21.03]One evening his father told him that he had to go to the airport early the next day,
[00:26.20]so he would need the car at the time that John had to go to school.He said that John's mother,who possessed another car,
[00:33.41]would still be in bed at the time he had to leave the house.
[00:36.62]"Well,how will I get to school if you need your car and Mummy is still in bed?"John asked.
[00:42.76]His father thought this was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson about how hard life was for the less fortunate people of the world,
[00:51.23]so he answered,"You'll go in the same way as every other child in the world goes--in a taxi."
