"Do you want to be washed by the waves?"
The stones replied, "The thunderous sounds of the waves wash us anew"

The wind asked the flowers in the garden,

The flowers replied, "The kisses of the bees constantly revive our lives"

The wind asked the lovers in the park,
"Do you want to be together forever?"
The lovers replied, "Who am I and who is she, where am I and where is she?"
