Jimena smiled as she explained: «The Angelica Sinensis that you had embroidered. There are also two swallows, one larger than the other. There was also a verse.

Casey's hands shook slightly as she asked, "What verse?"

Jimena responded: "The birds come back when the time comes."

"The birds come back when the time comes," Casey repeated quietly to herself a few times before falling silent.

A fragment of memories emerged in Casey's mind. On one wonderful day, a little girl snuggled against her knees and asked her softly, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

Patiently, Casey explained, "Mommy is sewing little swallows, one big and one small, like mom and her son. Below them is an herb called Angelica Sinensis. Together, they tell a beautiful story that the birds return when the time comes.

In Casey's memories, her bewildered young daughter asked, "Mommy, I don't understand. What story is this?

«Mommy will explain it to you, okay? Now behave yourself and get ready for bed. Casey gently stroked her daughter's hair, her face soft with affection.

"Very good. "Casey's adorable daughter snuggled up against her, eyes closed as she listened to the story."

The story began with the mother swallow and the baby swallow living in a lush forest overflowing with resources. There was plenty of food and water, surrounded by many neighbors. They were happy every day. Mother swallow shared many valuable knowledge with baby swallow. Just below their small nest, a plant grew.

The baby swallow was always curious about plants and flowers.

Since he didn't recognize this one, he asked his mother. Mother Swallow explained that this plant was called Angelica Sinensis, a very beneficial medicinal herb that could cure many diseases. It was like a miracle cure, like an elixir of immortality.

The baby swallow asked innocently, “Mommy, this Angelica Sinensis is growing right at our door. Could it be a fairy transformed into this to protect our home?

Mommy Swallow replied, “Yes, darling, remember that the Angelica Sinensis is right next to our house. If you ever get lost, just find the Angelica Sinensis, and I will be there waiting for you.

The baby swallow nodded. "I'll remember, mommy."

One day, while mother swallow was out collecting food for baby swallow, disaster struck without warning. A relentless fire devastated the forest.

All creatures in the forest perished or were damaged. When the mother swallow returned, laden with food, only a charred stump remained. The forest had turned into ashes and broken branches, devoid of all greenery.

The mother swallow turned around and around, desperately calling for her baby, but the familiar cheerful call of “mama” had disappeared.

After the fire, mother swallow stayed in the devastated forest.

He saw how compassionate people came to restore it. He crossed the sky, tirelessly searching for Angelica Sinensis, until he finally found a tiny one. He waited for the rain to carefully dig up the damp earth and tenderly carry the Angelica Sinensis back to the place where her home once stood.

The giant tree where it had nested no longer existed, it had been replaced by young saplings. The mother swallow planted the Angelica Sinensis next to a small tree, hoping that they would grow together. She remained with him year after year, until she grew large enough to support her modest nest, although it was not yet very large.

Mother swallow collected numerous twigs and soft leaves to build a cozy nest. In this new nest, he continued to wait for the baby swallow's return.

As the years passed, the sapling grew into a large tree and the solitary Angelica Sinensis multiplied into a cluster. Mother swallow grew old and could no longer fly. He had been in the nest for four days, too weak to go out for food or drink.

Dazed, she heard a faint chirping. Thinking he had made a mistake, he opened his eyes and looked around, but found the space before his nest empty. Slowly, he closed his eyes again.
