Once, when she was five years old, little Shamo approached mother's room, and knocked on the wooden door, holding her cute teddy bear toy. She was barefoot on the wooden floor, and dressed in her white pajamas.

No one answered from the room.

"Mama?" she called, apparently being saddened. She knocked louder on the door.

"Come in sweetheart!" she suddenly heard beloved mom's voice, but it was a little quiet - it seemed she was in the shower.

"Okay!" rejoiced child giggled and softly pushed the door, entering the room.

Mother's big cozy bed was already made. Shamo always loved this fluffy bed, so now she giggled joyfully and jumped on it, cuddling within it, being soothed.

"Mommy's lovely bed..." she murmured. Then she suddenly spotted a sand gourd on the bed! With those rose and orchid depictions on it...

She widened eyes, and looked aside, at the window-sill, where that eternal orchid was blooming...

She looked back at the gourd. She was eager to touch it, feel it, knowing it was a forbidden fruit. She sensed that this sand was special... It was not an ordinary sand she could see outside on the beach...

She slowly stretched her tiny forefinger towards it, nervously squeezing her teddy bear with the other hand.

But then she hesitated, glancing at the bathroom door of her mother, where she was now taking a shower and gently humming.

She gulped.

Mommy will get upset... she thought, but the sand gourd was dazzling her eyes like no other jewel of sumptuous Hidden Gem Village of the Land of Gold...

She stretched her forefinger slowly again, and softly, tremblingly touched the gourd.

Unlike the usual sand, this one was really warm...

She felt strange energy streaming into her body through her finger she had placed on the gourd...

She widened eyes, and gasped.

So cool... she thought, and now fully put her hand on the gourd, slightly giggling.

And suddenly, the sand emerged from the gourd, floating in the air around her tiny hand, as if playing with her!

She widened eyes and slightly cried, putting her hand away.

The sand flew towards her slowly, surrounding her, and caressed her hands, fondling with her hair...

She gasped, and giggled as it tickled her. She felt really happy... This feeling... It was so wonderful and... so strange...

"Hello sand..." she waved her hand to the sand, as if this latter was alive.

The sand rolled in the air, as if greeting back!

She got even more astonished, and amused, giggling.

"Um... What is your real name, sand? Do you have one?" Shamo asked, giggling.

The sand caressed her hands again.

"I guess that means no," Shamo beamed.

But suddenly sand landed down on the bed and gathered in a strange position, making a hieroglyph for love - Ai ( 愛 )!

Shamo widened eyes.

"Ai?! You say your name is 'love'?" she was astounded.

The sand fondled with her hair.
