『Hear the forest singing』
【summary】
There lived a boy named Noi in a small village in the forest where a beautiful song could sometimes be heard on the wind. One day, a stranger came to the village and planted a “money-making tree,” and the forest fell into ruin. One day, deep in the forest, Noi sees a woman weaving while singing a song. Dazzled by the beauty of her weaving, she snatches it away.
