Each daughter will carry with her a precious lotus flower as a gift for the mother of the baby. But they must keep the flowers alive over some very long and hazardous journeys. Daughter No.1. is to travel to Russia, daughter No.2 is to travel to India and daughter No.3. must travel to Arabia. In the end, only one daughter is able to keep her flower alive, which she gives to Mary and, in return, Mary prays for the rain to fall once more in China.
As with all our plays, there are full production notes that give advice on scenery, prop and costume-making.
