Rich Or Very Rich

 by kiki

Early this morning my imaginary friend Beto was yelling into my good ear," wake up dude, I have a question for you" He didn't need to yell since I was already awake. "shoot" I replied. "what is the difference between being rich and being very rich?" he asked. The first thought that enters my mind was, why is he asking such a question as he is neither rich nor very rich? In fact, the dude is dirt poor: he is a throw-back to the 1930s, as he still puts cardboard in his shoes, lest the pebbles come in through the holes in the sole of his shoes. But, it was too early in the morning to play games, so I shine him off. "I don't know, now go away" And with that, he was gone. So, my friends, rich or poor, do you have an answer for Beto?
