TéAnna (tay-ah-na) has an adoptive mother and father, no friends at all, but only a white and gold parasol, named May. This one parasol was her only exception as a "friend." He followed TéAnna wherever she went, refusing to be with anyone else. The parasol loved the warmth of his friend's hands gently clutching his wooden handle. Traveling endlessly with TéAnna, the parasol has seen misty mountains, the greenest grass, flowers bloomed to perfection, and dreamy landscapes, day and night. He has seen the world with his human friend, enjoying every moment with TéAnna, always walking the lands of Mother Earth free of technology and the greed of city folk. Without those trivial materials, the parasol never collects a single strand of dust. This is a story through the parasol's nonexistent eyes and ears.
