"An acorn grows to a mighty oak" - words, once, my grandpa spoke when I was small. What dear Grandpa forgot to say, long ago, on that happy day, is, "Every oak must fall".

The squirrels grab some of the acorns. We must not get too cocky, for we all fall, whether by age or too much pride or sickness, etc..
