  24. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I don't see anything.

  25. PETER: Let me help you a little.


  26. Smiling warmly, Peter pulls out the cut stalk of something in yellow.


  27. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, he has a banana!


  28. As Kaji licks his upper lips, Peter takes out the banana and let Kaji sniff the banana skin.


  29. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I only like the aroma after you've peeled it.


  30. After peeling it back, Peter breaks off a small piece in his hand and extends it to Kaji who gently takes it with care.


  31. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm grateful for Peter's sharing. There's unity in us.


  32. They continue to share the fruit equally until there's no more left.
