Premiere: 28 May 2004, Singapore Arts Festival

There was a girl who grew up and became a woman.
After time she found out that she could not have children. So, she prayed to God asking him for children. One day she found some seeds in her house. She planted them and started to take care of them. The time passed by, the plants were growing, but she still couldn’t have children.

She prayed to God again and said “Why you are so hard with me, I pray to you each day and you don’t listen. Why do I still not have any children?”

God replied “Do you remember those seeds you found one day in your house? And how you took such great care of them, until they grew into tall and beautiful trees. These trees are now your children because what you felt for them is the same that a mother feels for her child.”
