Myop is a young girl who is exploring the woods on a warm summer day. Myop is enjoying the nature and the freedom of being on her own instead of locked in a school room. Myop is like any other child on a summer afternoon. However, Myop comes across a beautiful rose that reminds her she is not like any other child, but a black child in a country where blacks are discriminated against. This rose is growing out of the skull of a man who was hung from one of the beautiful trees surrounding Myop. Suddenly the peace of that summer afternoon is gone for Myop.
