As days passed, her tiny roots pushed night and day while the soil snuggled her night and gave her way. She sprouted stems and leaves while the sun's rays kissed her and rain drops showered on her each day. As days and months passed, Yazhini survived several landslides and storms. She grew tall and strong by extending her branches to shelter homeless birds. There was no end to the number of birds that sat on her branches and told her stories of what had happened around the world and how their homes had been destroyed. The Okinawa Rail narrated in grief how the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings destroyed the majority of his family. He explained how he witnessed those missiles that fell off a plane and landed on the ground. After a huge cloud of smoke engulfed the entire place, he fell unconscious. When he woke up he could not find anyone from his family, in fact none of the birds survived this tragedy. Tears rolled down the eyes of the spoon-billed sandpipers as they recollected the destruction of their species during the world war. A family of grizzled giant squirrels who were listening to these stories, came over and expressed their grief too. They were from Sri Lanka and were victims of the war that resulted in the death of their family. Her sole question to them was, "Who is causing these disasters and calamities?" She became infuriated when she heard that humans are to blame.
