A Tale of Honesty

Synopsis: 
The Emperor of China, having no natural heir, decides to choose from among the children of his kingdom, one to be successor to the throne. 

He devises a plan whereby the child who grows the most magnificent flower from the seed he is given, will be chosen Emperor.


"Spring Is Here" is sung by the entire cast during the Festival of Spring held at the beginning of each new year.
"A Successor to the Throne" is sung as the people react to the announcement of the Emperor.
"Magnificent Flower" is sung by Ping after he has received the seed given by the Emperor.  Ping has confidence that he will grow the most magnificent flower in all the land.
"Summer Comes" is sung by the field workers who must work in the hot summer sun until they feel the rain.
"Autumn Lingers on the Breeze" is sung by the Mothers who lament that the seasons are getting darker and colder.
"Wintertime" is sung by all the children who are waiting until spring to see if their seeds will produce the most magnificent flowers in all the land.
