A lost party trapped in tall grass finds a hidden fork in the road when a small girl points the way. Mrs. Evans, frail and mourning a daughter, and her companions reward the child with pastries. After the girl gives roots and a gift, Mrs. Evans' aches and blurred vision vanish; she announces she feels strong again. The child reveals, "I'm Lana, and I'm five," and says she has always lived in a cowshed. Mrs. Evans insists on bringing Lana to her village with gifts; Lana agrees but warns they must be careful, leaving the next step uncertain.
