Description

The wise man prepares,

Toiling through his Autumn years,

To rest in winter.

All nations, all peoples, seek to control their own lives in things great and small. And, as trade is the lifeblood of all free nations, it is no small thing to have control of it. A friend may carry a burden for a while, but if he is a true friend eventually he allows a man to carry his own responsibilities. So it is with all things.
