Eat It All Now

When will I learn?

One of my classmates from Japanese class, Sonaka from Thailand, brought a bag of plums to share with the class.  Another classmate, Jamie, ate her plum when she received it.  I smelled my plum then put it in my bag to eat at lunch. I should have been like Jamie because later I found my plum smashed in the bag, making a mess.

This reminded me of a month long backpacking trip I took years ago in Wyoming.  About half-way through the trip, a horse packer brought us out a re-ration bag of food that we had packed before starting out on the trip.  In our re-ration was a big bag of peanut M&Ms.  My friend and I divided our bag of M&M and she ate all of hers on the spot.  I ate a few of mine and put the rest in a bag in my pack.  My plan was to eat a few each day and make them last the rest of the trip.  When we got up the next morning I saw that an animal had been in my pack and had chewed through the bag and eaten all of my peanut M&Ms.

The lesson of the story is that if you don’t do it now, it may not be there later.
