The story of Ruby Rubenstein, a fruit and vegetable man has been illustrated with life lessons, ethics, sentiment, emotions and a splash of colours. The time of retirement in a person's life could be heartbreaking. However, with the love and support of people around you, it could be made relaxing and joyful.
