Rich Children, Poor Parents

A wealthy couple with their children stands on the porch in front of their house. In front of the porch stands an old and poor couple. The man leans on a stick and the old woman wipes her tears away with a cloth. The rich children point their poor parents out the door. They do not want to take care of them. Behind the children walks Father Time, with a scythe and an hourglass in his hands. He points out that the children also grow old and then still have to wait to see if their children will behave better than they themselves.
