Two old trees have been standing and living together for a very long time. One is still standing sturdy even though it is old, and the other one has started to fall. The process is slow but unenviable. The tree still standing strong is desperately trying to get hold of the one falling over and reaching for its partner. It is already too late and nothing can be done... eventually, the other one will fall over, and die. The other tree will be left alone in the rugged world "..til death do us part".
