“Tell me why are you always helping others to build their shelters?”
“I help them build it so later they will help build mine. Because I know I’m old and I can’t do it alone. And we are all here as part of a family.”
“So what’s your secret? You are about 80 years old, always cheerful and you are the first to help. You were the first to jump on the back of the truck to collect some heavy stones.”
“I saw no one was going, so I went. Somebody has to do it right, why wait for others. It’s our problem so we need to fix it ourselves. Best do it with a smile.”
Share his wittiness and contagious smile.
(A local farmer – Hokse, Palanchok)
