Story 1. What Is Old?
One time, I said to my grandfather, "Grandpa, you are so old!"
He laughed.
Then he said, "To a fly, a dog is old."
To a dog, a person is old.
To a whale, a rock is old.
To a rock, the world is old.
"That's interesting!" I said.
My grandpa laughed.
Then he said, "So as you can see, compared to many things, I am just a baby."
Respect the Earth!
