Neng and her sister live in a small village. Everyone is getting ready for the biggest festival of the year. The girls are excited, but there is a problem. They do not have traditional clothes to wear to the festival like everyone else. Neng asks her sister to look for a stone and she uses it to make a beautiful ball of many colors. Their simple creation brings them more joy than any new clothes could. Neng reminds her sister that what they wear to the festival is not the most important thing but how they feel on the inside and the simple moments they share.
