Granny Weatherall":
I want you to pick all the fruit this year and see nothing is
wasted. There's always someone who can use it. Don't let
good things rot for want of using. You waste life when you
waste good food. Don't let things get lost. It's bitter to lose
things. Now, don't let me get to thinking, not when I'm tired
and taking a little nap before supper. . . .
