Last year's tree told such a sad and touching story: birds and trees are good friends. Birds sing to trees every day. When winter comes and birds are about to fly back to the south, they solemnly promise to come back and sing to the trees next year. But the next spring, when the bird flew back, its friend tree disappeared.

Guided by the roots, the gate and the little girl, the bird searched everywhere and went through all the hardships, only finding the light lit by a match made of trees. Friends are gone, friendship is still there, and promises are still there. So, full of sadness and melancholy, it sang last year's song in the face of the kerosene lamp lit by its friend's life.
