The stoic philosophers had a saying, 'momenti mori'. it means 'remember, you must die'. This endearing tale hopes to captivate the stoic idea that death is a natural part of life and not to be feared. Little Apple learns what Marcus Aurelius journaled so many years ago, "it is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."
