Farah LOVES mangoes! She could eat nothing else, and even dive into an ocean of mangoes! The best ones she knows still grow on her grandfather's old mango tree. Every summer, she and her dog Mali pick them together.
But this year, the tree is... empty! Not a single mango has grown, and Farah is disappointed. So, to give the mango tree a little boost, she sings to it, brings it water and manure, and gives it gifts... But nothing works; the tree is hopelessly useless to the little girl.
Useless? Really? Grandfather has more than one trick up his sleeve to help her understand that the mango tree has more to offer her than beautiful sweet mangoes.
