Description: This is the song from a story about a woman and her child who ere lost in the forest. Suddenly the child saw a coconut palm and asked its mother what the tree was. She answered: "Don't be afraid, my child, that is a sign we shall find our way home. It is significant that David Livingstone in one of his journals describes the impression that the palm tree was for him "A hieroglyph that spells 'far from home'." A possible explanation of this remark by the mother is that the palm trees grow mostly along the rivers, and once at the river she would be able to regain her sense of direction. This was recorded with heavy rain pouring down outside the Musaliili Hall, hence the background noise. Story song
