Wealth

She: Are you from a wealthy family?
He: Does it make any difference?
She: I don’t know. I’m not poor, but I barely afford my simple life. Is your family rich?
He: They use to be.
She: What happened?
He: When I was a kid, my family had a small apartment that they could fit thousands of people in. The apartment had a small kitchen that they could feed everyone we could think of. They were amazed by the magic of the place. They wanted to strengthen it and decided to expand the space. They’ve worked hard days and nights for many years. They’ve made the place many times bigger. Big enough to no longer fit anyone. They’ve made a huge kitchen which makes them starve to death.
