Moranak Meada finds out and cries alone under the house but a talking duck gives her the fin of her mother, so she can plant it as it probably turns in the eggplant. The stepmother still cuts out the eggplant and grills it for food again but Moranak Meada still finds the plant's leaf and buries it far away from the house as it suddenly grows as a little golden banyan tree which can talk to her every time she wants to.
