“Bent to the last grain”
“grandmother, but did you have to pick up all the olives from the cloth around the tree, one by one?!”
“of course, mimmi, one by one….every day bent over… what a bad life”
“But why, grandma, all of them, one by one?”
“because if the master came to see and found some on the ground, he might send us all away“.
(my grandmother Ada “Dina” 1907 – 1998)
