On a gorgeous autumn day with leaves changing colors, sky dazzling, Jim was walking his dog Arthur on a mountain-trail, near Moab, Utah. Suddenly, Arthur began barking, unleashed himself, and began running toward a hidden cave. Following Arthur, Jim entered the dark cave. Jim turned on his smartphone’s flash-light, focusing the beam at different locations. At one corner, he spotted several ancient human skeletons, lying next to each other with their hunting tools. He reasoned their deaths due to lack of food, unable to hunt in a severe winter. Worldwide, thousands still die of starvation, even on a sunny day. |

Horrible things can happen even when the weather is fine. Good story.

A sad comment on our world, Sankar, and sadly true. No one should ever have to go without when there is so much waste. Well done!
