We didn't even know what trees are here, ... They've got trees there. What we have are twigs.

One can bend young twigs, not old trees.

I think they had so much adrenaline going when they lifted, they just wanted to get up there and do it, ... In their fourth lift, they just pulled it up very easily. I'm sure they could have gone higher than what they did with the momentum they had.

We use it mostly for perch. They lay their eggs on the trees.

A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.

Sticks are something we all have in common. Everybody knows sticks - the twigs and branches picked up on grandfather's farm; the branches woven in grandmother's basket. Somewhere threaded in all the public mass is a common thread, and that thread is the human spirit.
