– Rain… do you remember the rain?
– Yes, I do. Those tickles in the leaves when drops fell.
– Wind… do you remember the wind?
– Yes, I do. And I remember how we used to dance with our branches following its rhythm.

– The sun? The sun? No… I don’t remember the sun. What the sun was?
– It was the heat and the light, but it came and left, like if something prevented it to reach us… usually before the rain it left us alone.
– I don’t remember it… it should be lont time ago.
– Long time ago, yes.
