He wants to ask you
some questions now.

You can find
whatever you want in stores now.

But back then,

we only had flour
because we grew it ourselves.

We had to mill our own wheat.

You know what our coffee was back then?

It was barley and chickpeas,

which we roasted and brewed.

Sage tea,
rosemary tea, common mallow tea.

Honey?

The problem with some
store-bought honey is it's been boiled.

As a result,
they destroy the pollen grains,

and it turns into sugar.

Taki,

I brought green onions for our salad.

You sharpened the knife
to cut the lettuce, right?

For you.

I sharpened it to cut the salad nicely
so you enjoy it.

When my first wife passed away,
I had lost my appetite to live.

I wouldn't talk.
I wouldn't laugh. I wouldn't eat.

I fell into pieces,

and she brought me back.

I must have been 73.

I was sitting on a bench at church
with my best friend.

I was looking at the women
that were coming in.

More than 40 women had entered.

As soon as she stepped in,
an electric wave struck me.

I don't remember who called who,

and we met at Pezi Lake.

He had prepared a meal for me.

A picnic.

And he played a tape and sang
"I love you because you're beautiful."

When I was looking at him,
something was tickling my soul!

I married my first husband at 16
and had a gloomy life,

but you have made me complete,
and I have forgotten the past.

I feel as if I have lived
all my years with you.

To our health!

You see? It's a good machete.

Hello!

Pleasure.

-Sit down, friend.
- Did you work today?

Some.

- Did you?
-Yes.

What time did you get up?

At 4:00.

- At 4:00?
-Yes.

It's ten o'clock. You've already
been working for almost six hours.

And why do you work so much?

You don't have to work so hard.

That's what they say, but I can't.

Because that's my life.

Come on!

This is dangerous.

Yes, I imagine.

Can't you see?

You still use an ax at 86?!

I started with the ax
when I was 14 years old.

And what other work do you do?

I cut with a machete,

and I fix fences.

And how many hours
do you work daily?

I work from 6:00 to 10:00.

Now, with my old age,
I think that you have to rest.

Do you have money in the bank?

-No.
- You don't have any?

-You don't have any security?
-No, sir.

You have to rely on your own…

-That's right.
- And if you get sick, what happens?

Let's say, when I have money,

I like to go out and treat myself.

- To a long life!
-That's right!

I do not complain.

I'm poor and ugly,

but I have enjoyed
as much as one should enjoy.

You said poor and ugly?

You are not ugly. You are macho.

How could I explain?

It would have to be thanks to the Lord

because I ask him that if,
at this age that I am, already 86,

but I still move around alone,
I do my jobs…

If he's going to give me more years,
let it always be like this.

I ask him when I go to bed, when I get up,

"Give me strength."

Good morning.

José Benerando, I'm here
for this year's visit.

-How are you?
-Good.

Does someone dress you?
Do they help you with your clothes?

I put them on by myself and everything.

I put on my clothes and underwear.
I wash myself.

I do everything by myself.

Mr. José Benerando,
what date is it today?

Today is the 8th, right?

Eighth of what month,
Mr. José Benerando? Eighth of what month?

March?

What year?

Well, I'm not very sure of the year,

but I do know it's March 8th.

I started making rosquillos as a child.

I used to go to a neighbor's house
to help her make rosquillos.

How old were you then?

About ten, maybe.

How old is this grinding stone?

Oh, no, that stone,
I can't tell you

because my mother used to grind
on that stone.

Yes, my mother used
to grind with it, then she gave it to me.

- Yeah.
- She'd done a lot of grinding.

-It has more than 100 years.
- Yes.

Everything she learned to do,
she taught me, too,

so I do everything like that.

And I have passed this on to my daughter.

Let's eat, Isaac.

If you were to tell Isaac

how to get to 100 years old,

what advice would you give him?

I hope that he eats what I eat.

Do you think your son

will eat the same diet
as your grandfather?

I don't think so
because everything is different now.

Lots of processed food.

With beans and rice,
he has reached 100 years.

Wouldn't it be better?

Well, yes, but kids aren't
interested in rice and beans.

They are into things like cereal

that aren't as nutritious
as rice and beans.

You want some, Grandpa?

Do you want some?

- If you want.
- One.

Just to try it. Thank you.

He doesn't want rice and beans or eggs.
He wants cookies.
