It was the Biggest Leaf in the World she Asked for

A six-year-old girl asked Santa for the “biggest leaf in the world” for Christmas. The mother was troubled and asked for help via Twitter. The Fureai Botanical Center in Shibuya City agreed to help. The director of the center made agreements to let the center keep the leaves from Santa. The girl was delighted to pick a leaf from the greenhouse that exceeded her height. She made a mask out of the leaves as she had wished to do.
