Using a leaf as a whistle, a village girl blows tunes in the woods to her loves. On the grass are a pair of shoes that she has made for her lover and a basket woven and filled with a young maiden's coyness and affection. Her love melody fills the atmosphere and attracts the young men from the village who quietly peep through the branches to find out more about her. The moon, the birds, the cloud, and flowers are totally enchanted. The air is filled with romance.
