All hail gringo

The pill bugs were born from eggs in the dirt thrown into the composter. They had never known any other world than the dark, tumbling composter. By the benevolence of Taxigringo they thrived and multiplied. Day by day Der Gringo tossed in produce peelings and weeds which they enjoyed in their predator free world.
Gringo understood that a day would come when he needed to let the compost mature and let their mortal bodies also decompose to become food for the garden. Gringo played with a thought: Suppose when he opened up the composter each day the pill bugs stopped their activities and with one voice exclaimed, "All hail Gringo, benefactor of the composter." Would he then make a way for them to enter the larger world of their ancestors and perpetuate more generations?  Quickly Der Gringo put away the thought with the notion that he might do that anyway. The poop the bugs left behind would be enough to fertilize the garden soil.
He went into the kitchen to pour a cup of coffee and studied the bubbling airlock on the beer fermentor.  Countless millions of yeast cells were wildly eating malt sugar and multiplying to produce beer.  When the fermenting was done Gringo would use the remaining yeast to make compost tea, again for the garden.  
A repeating pattern dawned on Gringo as he wondered about own benefactor and his own purpose and destiny.
