A little mango tree begins to grow in a vast grassy field where no other tree grows. He is called Ian. Ian has many friends in the birds and animals that visit him and the plants that grow around him. However, he is not very happy. A questions troubles him. A question he cannot seem find an answer to. “Why am I here?” he asks his friends.

His friends try to give him an answer but none of their answers satisfy him. As the seasons pass, Ian unable to find an answer to this question, grows despondent.
