Under a cherry blossom tree a girl lays watching the soft pink petals fall. One by One she stays and watches until the Sun disappears behind the horizon. Soon the starts to glow illuminating the cherry blossom tree. The girl stands touching the hollowed wood becoming part of the tree until dawn approaches waking the girl from her slumber. Years past and the cherry tree still stood proud and strong. But, one farther night a woodsman came holding his mighty ax. The woodsman marched up to the tree unknown of the slumbering girl inside. He raised his ax ready to strike the tree when a strong wind came causing the petals to fall in hundreds. The petals danced around the woodsman wrapping him in a soft blanket of pink. The petals soon picked him up carrying him back home to slumber peacefully. While the cherry blossom tree still stood proud and strong leaving the girl alive and happy in her forever lasting home inside the cherry blossom tree.
