The Enduring Giants



*The Enduring Giant*
The Palm tree has been the most enduring tree that has ever lived.
When the violent Northeast traveller strike Africa on winter times, the inhabitants shed their glory in homage to the August visitor, but the enduring Giants refuse to bow. When the Southwest traveller visits the coast with good news from a far away country, the enduring Giants partake with the inhabitants of the land to  rejoice. Who can endure the unwelcome hostilities of the vast desert of north Africa from which other inhabitants fled, but the enduring Giants. When men are looking for wine to graced their occasions, the enduring Giants answer them with a good smile.
When mothers are looking for brooms to clean up their homes, the enduring Giants are there to answer them. They are the travellers shelters in an unwelcome Africa desert. When other Giants are yet wondering on what to do, the enduring Giants have the solutions.
