Once on this Island play

A family who didn't have any kids, heard her screams and helped her from the tree and began to raise her as their own child. She stayed outside the gate to the city for days and nights, refusing to leave without seeing Daniel. She was very cheery and curious on what life was like out of her village. There was a legend about Daniel's family because his grandfather had cheated on his wife with a woman of poverty.
