Every spring this fortunate village would receive a divine gift from the sky in the form of a raindrop on the surface of their village square. The large, puffy clouds would depart and the heavens of the sky would produce a single, golden raindrop. When the raindrop was absorbed into the Earth’s surface, a gift would be produced in the form of a resource that was not present on Earth before.

In previous years they had received cows, an orchard of ripe plum trees, an abundant field of wheat, several productive olive trees, a colorful field of corn, a scrumptious grape vineyard, and an array of horses. The villagers never seemed to have a problem with this simplistic rule until one year when they received the most divine gift, the redwood. When a large, sparkling raindrop hit the surface of the Earth, the ground began to shake and the small sprouts took root and shot up from the soil in the matter of seconds, forming hundreds of two-hundred and fifty foot tall giants all around them.
