The old lady rummaged through the first bin. Threw cans she found in the bin onto the floor. She followed up by stamping them flat, for ease of her collection.
And then on to the next bin. More cans, and by luck, a half-finished bottle of mineral water. This she used to wash her dirty hands. Next came a plastic bag out of the bin for consolidating her flattened cans.
Then she moved on to search for more.
The floor was left stained with what had spilled out from the cans.
The ageing population problem has become so real now.
