A family in China barely has enough food to feed themselves so they send their new baby girl off in a basket on the river. The moon guides the baby's basket to safety. On the other side of the world, a man and a woman prepare their house for a new baby. The two follow the moon's glow to find the baby in the river.

“One summer night in China a baby girl was born. She was perfect.

‘We have barely enough rice to feed ourselves,' the father said.

‘She should have pretty things,' the mother said.

‘She should learn to read,' the father said.

They were happy and sad at the same time.”
