Nadi and Xiao Lan are best friends who live and go to school in Panama. Nadi’s family is from Kuna Yala,* and Xiao Lan’s family is from China. One day Nadi invited Xiao Lan to visit her grandmother. They travelled to an island, where there was a big celebration. Nadi’s grandmother told them the story of the Tree of Life and taught them how to cook soup. Back home, Xiao Lan described her trip to her father, who visited and thanked Nadi’s family. He gave Chinese sweets to all the children and told them the story of the Chinese moon goddess.
