One day, before you came to the world, a mommy, a daddy and a daughter (named Ariel) who lived far, far away looked up from what they were doing and asked each other what they were thinking about.
"Someone," said the mommy.
"Me, too," said the daddy. "What sort of someone were you thinking about?"
"Someone happy," said Ariel.
"And full of fun," said the daddy.
"And oh, so beautiful," said the mommy.
"With a smile brighter than all the stars," said the daddy.
And they realized they had been thinking of the same person!
"But who is she?" said the mommy.
"Where is she?" said the daddy.
"How do we find her in this big world?" they all wondered.
And they thought about it and talked about it and dreamed about it, until one day, they found the answer.
A journey! An adventure!
"But wait," said the mommy. "We could journey across the street or across the world, but how will we know her?"
"The red thread," said the daddy. "One end of it is touching her..."
"So the other must be touching us," said the mother.
"Find the red thread and there she will be," said the daddy.
So they looked in the air.
And in each other's hair.
They looked here and there.
They even checked the lair…
of a cuddly panda bear!
They looked for days and weeks and months and even years. Then one day there was a knock at the door. When they opened it, they found a package tied with a bright red thread!
They opened it and there was a picture of the happiest, most beautiful, and full-of-fun baby girl they had ever seen.
"There she is," said the mommy.
"There she is," said the daddy.
"There she is," said Ariel.
She lives in Guangxi.
Her name is Lin Yingyong.
And we will call her Kavanna, which means to live with joy... because that is what we all will do."
And guess what? That baby... is you!!
