That's how we all felt, too! A few months ahead of time, we were told to ask friends for stories. I recorded a few different stories, one about a strike that a friend's little brother did at school when he was 10, a legend about a certain flower, one about a traditional character that tries to get into heaven, and the Joseph story from Genesis. It was hard at first to choose just one, but in the end I chose the legend about the flower.
