An old, wisened Native American is passing on the story of the Tree of Life to young Native American children. As he tells the story, he hears and sees Dr. Blight's robots chopping down trees of the forest. Dr. Blight wants the tree of life, the old man protests. The Old Native American man's son, surprisingly, tells his father that Dr. Blight is willing to pay large sums of money for the tree. The Old Man warns that the forest is doomed if the Tree of Life is chopped down but his son claims that it's only a superstition.
