The inundated plain

The inundated plain

Moko and Mei-Li are gathering seashells in between the rocks on the white sand beach to decorate the village’s houses. Moko asks Mei-Li if they can go to other beaches to try to find other shells. Mei-Li likes the idea and goes to ask a fisherman to take them to another beach on his boat. Just beyond the village Moko sees a vast plain that has been flooded with water. He thinks this must have been the great wave, flooding the field with water so that the rice would grow. This is when Mei-Li picks up a magnificent seashell and Moko believes that it must surely be a gift from the ocean. Moko and Mei-Li make their way back home, carrying their gift and happy to have seen wonderful new places. They are certain that the ocean must know an underground passage in which it sends waves every now and then to feed the rivers and the fields.

The inundated plain
One day, Moko was helping Meï-Li gather up shells. They were both looking for the prettiest ones, to decorate the houses in the village.
We should take a boat, said Moko, and go look on the other beaches. We might find more shells there! So they headed off to find a fisherman who they knew had a magnificent boat. Can you take us to some of the other beaches, so that we can look for pretty shells ? Asked Meï-Li. The fisherman thought this was a good idea… So he raised up the sails on his boat, and the three of them sailed off.
They sailed the coastline of Meï-Li's country, gazing out at the pure blue ocean waves, the white sandy beaches, the deep green forest, and the mountains above it. The boat headed inland, guided by an ocean passage that snaked its way between the dense vegetation and the sheer rock-face of the mountains.
