And after years the boy came back, both of them were old.
\n“I’m nothing but an old stump now. I’m sorry but I’ve nothing more to give.”
\n“I do not need very much now, just a quiet place to rest,”
\nThe boy, he whispered, with a weary smile
\n“Well,” said the tree, “An old stump is still good for that.”<\/p>\n
Well, so much for resting. Seniors these days are returning to their youth. London just announced it was building a playground in Hyde Park that caters not to kids or their parents, but aging baby boomers. “Every park has a children’s playground, very few have playgrounds for adults, and none have playgrounds for the elderly,” said Madeline Elsdon, head of a local residents’ association, in a recent AP article. Catered to the over-60 crowd, the playground will feature exercise equipment to help seniors with balance, flexibility, and muscle toning. I just hope they swing and ask their grandchildren for a push!
