"No children, the world we old timers built is not perfect. But it could be if you would but carry the torch, if you would build it ever higher. Go to your comunity center and get everyone together to plant some apple trees. Put in some fruit bushes in the parks. Make it so that food is easier to come by in this town."
"I will tell you what! If you get it started and going then this old man will pay for everything. After all what else am I going to do with my vast fortune this late in the game?"
"You know that actually reminds me of Old Man Lee. We called him that because he was ancient when we were around your age. He had an apple farm out west you see. Of course he had to cut it all down to stop a fire."
I remember driving a 1,000 miles to get to apple picking party that he hosted every year. We would all get together and make apple pies and fritters. Minced them and put them in various dishes so that we could enjoy them as a group. He just asked that we help to pick them and that we enjoy what we ate. He was a good sort like that.
Well one day some fool camper who didn't know the first thing about fire safety wandered off and started a forest fire. It was headed across the forest and about to rage throughout the country side destroying everything that a few folks had. Now Old Man Lee's Orchard was right in the path of the flames so he called up the locals and anyone in the area and told them to come because they were going to cut down all of his trees and make a fire break. Well when word got to us we knew that we would never make it in time to help but we could deal with the aftermath. So off we went as fast as we could.

We got there at the end as things were wrapping down and the area was saved though Old Man Lee lost everything he had. He saved the livley hood of many people that day. So we got to work gathering what apples that remained and survived. When we brought them to the Old Man he said that we were going to make them into pies and give them away.
The last of what he had and he was going to give it away!
When we asked him why he only responded that a Man does what a Man has to do. That you give kindness to those around you so that they might in turn pass it on.
They in turn helped him to replant his entire ochard even bigger and better then it was before. They even added peach trees.
That is why you should help those around you, because what goes around comes around and good or ill, it will come around!
