Once upon a time, in a remote village, there lived a little boy whose parents had passed away, and who lived with his grandfather, relying on his ancestral cake store for his livelihood. He and his grandfather lived off their ancestral cake shop. The store sold only three different kinds of cakes: egg cake, almond cake, and walnut cake. Grandpa always said that he was getting old, and when he got old, he would die, and when he died, the little boy would be left alone, so he wanted the little boy to learn how to make cakes. The craft of making cakes, and this old store, had been all Grandpa could pass on to him. So the little boy learned, and learned, and learned by heart to run the cake store every day.

Next to the village, in a cottage in the forest, lived a little girl and her grandmother. Grandmother grew easy-to-grow vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots in a small field outside her home. There was also a strawberry plant, just one, growing peacefully by the door of the house. The little girl always asked her grandmother why there was such a strawberry plant. Grandma said that the seeds of the strawberry were a family heirloom, a treasure given to their ancestors by the gods long ago, so that a girl in their family could find a boy who loved her with a strawberry. And the one planted in front of the door was the little girl's.

Every day, the little girl would accompany her grandmother and take the vegetables to the village market to sell them. They only sold vegetables, not strawberries, although their strawberries grew quickly and they could harvest big, sweet, red strawberries every month, but they didn't sell them. In fact, no one in the village even knew what strawberries were, and so they were the little girl's most precious and unique treasure. Every harvest, the little girl shared with her grandmother, and when she had to go to the market, she would grab a few strawberries and put them in the pocket of her dress and eat them when she was bored. Grandma and strawberries, has been the little girl's all.
