Stories from Asia Series: The Tree With A Thousand Lights

Synopsis 

Recently, young Oy's classmates began teasing him. They called him "Oi", which was a rude and unpleasant term meaning, "Hey, you!" A week before his twelfth birthday, Oy received an early birthday present from his Uncle Bileg who lived and worked in Washington DC. It was a gold-plated leaf encased in glass. Why would Uncle Bileg send him such an unsuitable and impractical gift, Oy wondered. Was there more to the gift than what Oy had thought?
