Koa's Seed

"Long, long ago in Hawai'i, an ali'i gathered all the men in the village and announced he would select a new leader--something that had never happened before. To each, he gave one seed for planting. A young man named Koa took his seed and carefully and lovingly tended it for a year. From this seed, Koa is taught a valuable lesson.This is an age-old tale that has its roots in antiquity. It is a story that has traveled with camel caravans and sailing ships many times around the world."--
