Once upon a time in a vast area of land, stood a tall tree called Salama. One day Salama felt very sad and no one knew why it was feeling so sad. Salama's leaves had lost color and brightness, and the flowers on the tree had not blossomed that day. Its trunk was slightly slumped and it would not talk to other trees. Only one other tree could help Salama and that was its best friend and neighboring tree, Karibu.
