[148] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 5 : Educating the Second Generation and Training Future Leaders Chapter 1 : The Need to Educate the Younger Generation
3. Education of the third generation members in Hawaii - 2
Hawaii is an unsoiled, pollution-free and beautiful kingdom of heaven on earth. At five o'clock in the morning, I go out for a walk though it is still a little dark. Birds respond to you with songs, beautiful flowers bloom in profusion, and mango trees bent over under the weight of their fruit abound. In the Kana region, avocados grow.
This is a precious fruit, rich in protein. It was the first time I had seen that avocados grew on such big trees. I have heard that the soil of Kana region is best suited for growing trees like avocados. That is why I recently planted an avocado tree in Queen Garden.
True Father liked bananas very much. In the beginning time, it was not easy to find a banana. I thought that bananas grew in the shape of a fan. When I saw a banana tree, however, I observed that it bears fruit in spiraling layers. I counted the number of bananas in one bunch, and there were 140.
Banana flowers are very big, and as the petals fall, one by one, they are replaced by the fruit, which grows in a line that spirals around seven times, and there were 140 in total. They had somewhat ripened, so I instructed that the banana bunch be cut down.
I had it hung up, and when it ripened and yellow, I peeled one and tasted it. It did not taste like the bananas I had eaten in Korea. It was so good. The peel was very thin, and the flesh was so chewy and sweet. And it was so big that someone with a small mouth would have had to cut it in half lengthwise to eat it.
As you can see, Hawaii is a place with an interesting natural environment. I wish to show such an environment to our second and third generation members. I wish to educate them here. You all have children, don't you? Is there any child among them whom you can present before heaven and earth with pride? If you have such children, our future will indeed be bright!
