A quiet willow finds a new way to sing with help from the riverbank.
Transcript
Panel 1: Rill and the tiny reed spirit stand beneath an autumn willow beside the river. A kind face appears in its trunk. Gold leaves still hang from the branches and more lie on the ground.
Willow: "I miss my rustle."
Panel 2: Rill gathers a length of twine beside several small empty shells on a riverside rock, while the reed spirit watches.
Rill: "May I borrow the wind?"
Panel 3: Rill hangs a simple mobile of shells on short strings from a low willow branch. The tree watches with a hopeful smile and the reed spirit stands nearby. The panel is silent.
Panel 4: Rill and the reed spirit sit beneath the smiling willow. A breeze moves the shell mobile, and musical-note symbols show its gentle song.
Willow: "A different song."
