Outreach ~ when to stop !!

In life, every morning – we are out running after material things – how much we need, and how much we reach for ! is known to us ! – yet the race is on !  Is it possible to stop at somepoint of imaginary line, where we would feel ‘it is sufficient’ !! 

Joe Mahoney, a vaudeville performer who has fallen on hard times, has to leave his best friend and stage companion Rupert, a dancing squirrel, in the town. Rupert will have to fend for himself with the other squirrels and live in a tree. Mahoney had been renting a flat (attached to the Dingle house) from the Dingle family consisting of miserly father Frank, his wife and their son Pete, an aspiring composer. Frank recently learned a gold mine he'd invested in years earlier will start paying a return of $1500 a week. Frank begins cashing the checks and hiding the bills in a hollow baseboard.  .. .. ..

 


Even squirrels tend to 'out reach !!;    Outreach- the act of reaching out as a   transitive verb would mean :  to surpass in reach; exceed;  to get the better of by trickery 

The Great Rupert is a 1950 comedy family film starring Jimmy Durante, Tom Drake and Terry Moore, produced by George Pal and directed by Irving Pichel. It is based on a story written by Ted Allan that has also been published as a children's book under the title Willie the Squowse. The story revolves around a little animated squirrel who, with much charm, accidentally helps two economically distressed families overcome their obstacles. 

Interesting !
