The sands of the forest

The sands of the forest

As the first rays of dawn appear, Moko and Mei-Li head off to the forest to pick some plants that can’t be found anywhere else. Moko is following Mei-Li’s lead as she knows what to do. She picks a leaf and lets it float away, and Moko picks it up. All of a sudden, both his feet sink into the sand and he can’t get free. He calls out for help. Some fishermen come to his rescue and one of them throws him a line and they pull him to safety. Moko and Mei-Li head back towards the village thinking that the forest is jealous and possessive, since it clearly wanted to keep every leaf and every plant for itself.

The sands of the forest
The first faint hints of dawn appeared. Little by little, the sun filtered in, its golden rays washing over the whole horizon. Moko and Meï-Li headed off into the forest to search for some very special plants. Meï-Li knew what they had to find. And Moko followed her.
The elders use these plants for many things, said Meï-Li: Cooking, medicine? They've got real special powers! From a branch she removed a leaf as big as a bird's wing, and let it drift off, carried by the forest breeze.
