The story begins with a unique tree growing deep in a dark forest, admired for its beautiful flowers but ignored by the surrounding tribes. The narrative then shifts to a small-time writer and philosopher who is reading the news while enjoying his tea. He learns about North Korea's claims regarding its hydrogen bomb and its right to possess nuclear weapons for self-defense. His wife, curious about the hydrogen bomb, asks if it is similar to a gas cylinder, which prompts laughter from her husband. He dismisses her question as naive and explains that a hydrogen bomb is indeed a type of nuclear weapon, similar to an atom bomb. The dialogue highlights the contrast between serious global issues and everyday domestic life.
