Tears from tall trees

Tears from tall trees

On that day, the sun was so hot that the villagers would not leave their houses. Moko and Mei-Li are resting in the shade of a tall tree. Mei-Li is wondering whether Moko will be leaving her and saddened by this thought she walks away. Moko sets off to try to find her in the forest. Droplets of water stream down from the trees like rain. On his way Moko meets a woman who tells him which way to go. Night falls and Moko can no longer see anything. He decides to wait until morning to go on. The next morning, Mei-Li has returned and in her hand she has a transparent stone. She is smiling because she sees that she must mean a lot to Moko since he came all this way to find her. She gives him the stone so that he will always remember her. Moko notices that the rain coming from the trees has stopped. He thinks that the trees have stopped crying now that Mei-Li is no longer sad. Together they walk back to the village, promising to reunite one day and share all of their discoveries.

Tears from all trees
One particular day, the sun was so strong that Moko and Meï-Li rested themselves in the shade of the big trees on the edge of the forest. Meï-Li was thinking about something. Are you staying here with me, or must you go back to your own village? she asked Moko. I must travel the world until I find the edge of the horizon, he answered. I promised my friend, the old man.
Moko saw a tear run down Mei-Li's cheek. She stood up and started to walk, silently, towards the heart of the forest. Not saying another word, Moko followed her. They walked in silence for quite some time. Then suddenly, drops of water fell from the trees, like tiny raindrops from the leaves above. And the air became hot and humid… Like just before a storm. This reminds me of the rainy season ! Why, Meï-Li is so powerful that even the forest cries when she is sad, Moko told himself. I must comfort her, he decided. He wanted to go and join her… But… She had disappeared.
