Kefri Sadness and Despair.

A lonely woman named Kefri was sad from the death of her father.  She spent many days and many nights under the moon praying to the star gods.  She knew there had too have been a way up to the gods and to have them  bring her father back to life.  After weeks or prayer and no sigh of anything she become angry and  went deep into a dark depression
 She went for a walk through the nearby woods.   Trying to get her mind off of her sorrow.  She stopped by a small stream to take a drink and found an odd nest in a wild rose bush.  The eggs looked like any other nest she had seen but the eggs were larger and the speckles darker.  They seemed to be without a mother just like she was without a father. She waited hours in the heat of the day for the birds mother to return, and with no sign their mother Kefri took the eggs with her.
She spent weeks nursing the eggs waiting for them to hatch.  She had grown attached to them when she heard the crack she had been waiting for.  
All but one of the eggs hatched into wonderful birds with the most gorgeous feathers.  The other hatched  into a large seed with the same print as the feathers.  She came to love the birds and the seed.  She carried the seed everywhere  in her pockets as she raised the birds. Feeding them and taking care of them just as the mother would have she taught the birds to fly and away they flew leaving her just as her father had. 
Filling her with despair and sadness, the same feelings she had had for weeks before. She cried rivers of salty tears making the oceans.  She remembered the seed she had still her pocket, and threw it. Covering it in the dirt and the moisture  from her tears.  She cried herself to sleep near where she had thrown her seed.
She was awoken later in the night by an underground shake in the earth.  She woke up  afraid her world had come to an end.  Only too find a beam of vegetation leading far up into the sky .  It seemed to go past the mountains and into the sky.  Giving her the passage to the star gods she had been waiting for. She named this plant Bamboo From the bam she had heard that night and the fright it had given her.
