Death is the story of life. African proverb

LESOTHO 2005
My friend, please give me this necklace!
Noooooo.
I want.
You give me.
No.
Why?
My Grandmother, my Grandmother gave it to me.
Let me see. Okay. Ohhhh.
My Grandmother.
Is your Grandmother falled
She died.
[ Beatrice M. Rose 1916 - 2001 ]

Walking on the High Line, not only are the guests at the Standard Hotel spectating, nature is also keeping a watchful eye. This grasshopper reminded me of the great Aesop fable and the adapted movie I love ~ A Bug’s Life.
Moral of the story, “Idleness brings want.” Am I prepared for winter?
