They glimpse the magical world they see in his crystal story bowl which is beautiful and enticing, but when Moro discovers the crystal behind the waterfall, he thinks so too and covets it for himself. There’s deception, temptation and danger as greed begins to destroy the life of the village and the weak are first to die. Age 7+.
