A doll writes a letter to its parents expressing its desire to experience the world. It notes that while its hands and legs have not grown, and it has yet to breathe fresh air or blink its eyes, it wants a chance to be part of the world. The doll wants to feel the essence of light by running behind butterflies and feeling soft grass beneath it. Having seen the world through its parents' eyes, the doll now wants to see with its own and promises not to disappoint or shame its parents.
