[STORYTELLER (MAMA), spoken]
There is an island where rivers run deep.

[STORYTELLER (TONTON), spoken]
Where the sea, sparkling in the sun, earns it the name “Jewel of the Antilles.”

[STORYTELLER (WOMAN 2), spoken]
An island where the poorest of peasants labor—

[STORYTELLER (DANIEL), spoken]
And the wealthiest of grands hommes play.

[STORYTELLER (ARMAND), spoken]
Two different worlds on one island!

[STORYTELLER (ANDREA), spoken]
The grands hommes, with their pale brown skins and their French ways, owners of the land and masters of their own fates.

[STORYTELLER (MAN 1), spoken]
And the peasants, black as night, eternally at the mercy of the wind and the sea...

[STORYTELLER (MAN 2), spoken]
Who pray constantly... to the gods.

[STORYTELLER (MAMA)]
Asaka, grow me a garden
