Buntu tribe's children understand life:

A Thanksgiving Tale... An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe.

He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits.

When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.

When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: "UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad"? BUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are".

That's the philosophy of the organization responsible for it.

The machine is also entirely solid state so when you open the lid, it is ON and ready for use. That aside, the story is wonderful. I hope it's true.
