The next morning, Father popped his head into Mai's room to see how his daughter's project was progressing. She replied that she would come show him the finished product as soon as she was done. Then Mai began the task of decorating the paper to make stationery. She used a pen and colored ink to draw things that she had seen in Grandmother's village. She drew the dense topical forest on one sheet and colorful orchids on another. She was careful not to let the pieces of paper touch each other to prevent the ink from smearing. After the ink was dry, Mai showed the stationery to her parents. They were amazed by the beautiful drawings and thanked Mai for making her grandmother this thoughtful gift. Mai gently stacked the sheets of paper and tied a yellow silk ribbon around them. She looked forward to giving her grandmother the best present ever.
