Give and take II 施與受之二
Here it used be to a barren place with some trashes. After she retired, she took the initiative, proposing a renovation project to the owner of this private property. With the owner's permission, she volunteered to clean this place and then plant colorful roses.
I invited her for an interview about this inspring story. But she prefers to keep low profile. She offered me a ride to observe how she collected bags of manure from a stable of the neighborhood. In the end, I also contributed some effort to this additional brown layer on the ground.
She bought me a supper as a thank you gift. Again, as the founder of Amyoku, I think we take more from the elderly more than Amyoku can give to them.
這塊私人土地原本一片荒蕪還帶點垃圾。在她退休後,她主動跟地主提議,她自願清理並整理成一個彩色玫瑰園,地主同意了。
我想採訪她的故事,但她傾向低調。她問我要不要搭她的車,觀察她怎麼去附近的馬術場,取一袋又一袋的馬糞當肥料。最後我也略盡微薄之力,讓這座花園多鋪上一層咖啡色的沃土。
她請我吃飯作為謝禮。身為愛苗庫的創辦人,我想再次強調,長輩給我們的,往往比我們能給長輩的多得多。
