Here it is!
OK, pass it to the front.
Quickly, now.
Yen Cheng-kuo...
where's your container?
It fell in the cesspit.
What? It fell where?
In the cesspit.
Mr. Lu!
Huang Chin-shui handed
in duck droppings!
Chou Hsing-wang's dad is
electrocuting fish.
There are no fish left.
He electrocuted them all!
Why don't we use my dad's
electric rod on some fish?
No way! The police will nab you!
- No they won't, you chicken!
It's not that side, but this one.
You're connecting it wrong.
Right, on that side.
There's electricity now!
You got one!
There's another one here.
Let's electrocute it over there.
Got it!
Yen Cheng-kuo!
Bring him over here.
Yen Cheng-kuo!
Yen Cheng-kuo!
He's dead!
- I'll go call for help! - I'll go!
Help save someone's life!
Yen Cheng-kuo,
I didn't do this to you!
You got yourself electrocuted.
Don't fake it to freak me out!
Electrocuted someone?
That good-for-nothing kid!
Always just fooling around all day.
You gotta teach him right. Otherwise,
he'll electrocute someone to death.
Dad's coming!
Stop eating.
My daughter's health is poor,
and she's introverted by nature.
So after school, she just stays
holed up in the house.
With Taipei so hot, and with the A/C
blowing on her...
her respiratory system's no good.
That's why I want a change
of environment for her.
is connected with nature.
Absolutely. I too grew up in Taipei,
so I completely understand.
The air's better in the countryside,
and there's open space to roam in.
a saying:
"A child who treads upon the soil
absorbs the energy of the earth...
"which is what enables proper growth."
That's why I've brought her to the
countryside for her studies.
Her writing is beautiful.
She herself is also beautiful.
Hung Pei-yu, from Taipei.
She's a new student in our class.
She's also the cousin of your
classmate, Lin Wen-chin.
Cousins? One's so dark-skinned,
while the other's so fair!
Return to your seat.
Oh, cousin!
The big banyan tree and
the little boy.
There was a boy who always
went to play beneath a tree.
One afternoon, he bounced and bobbed
his way beneath the tree,
singing a song he'd made up himself:
"Big banyan tree with the beard
so nicely done,
let me count your whiskers,
each and every one."
This is about how banyan trees
have many aerial roots.
They hang down in strands,
like the whiskers of a beard.
The boy counted each and
every whisker.
Boy coz loves girl coz
said to the boy:
"I have a question for you.
Answer me earnestly.
You often come to see me.
Why after all is that?"
