Story of the Aged Mother

            I was out planting that time when the Great Daimio sent forward a new rule. That specific rule stated, “All elderly must be placed in Obatsuyama to leave them there to die”. I hadn’t said a word since I got home and told my mother the new heart-breaking rule, I can feel the pain in her heart but there was nothing  I can do for  I have to follow the Daimio’s rule. I couldn’t abandon my mother, how could I? But I have to and there is nothing I can do about it but to follow his rules

The Wonder Tree

              I was so excited when I saw another traveler was going to visit us. That traveler was the Great Sheik Ben Nedi.  My dad prepared gifts and presents for the visitor. I love travelers, visitors and such for I love to hear their different and amazing stories. But instead of feeling happy I left sad for I have nothing to give to the Great Sheik ben Nedi.

Guno immediately thought of a plan that will put their fantasy into a reality. But the problem was they haven't practiced on what they are really going to do.
