You should say thank you

if someone gives you something

Come here, son

Come over here

With that 10 Yen go and

buy a lottery ticket

You'll win money, I'm sure you will

You're more or less pure minded

go and buy one

You know where they sell them?

Yes

Go, and win 2,000 Yen

Don't stop to count the money

on the way back

Yes

You work hard

This is nothing. Easy job

I don't call it work

It's like killing time with something to do

Have you seen the portable shrine

in Kuroecho I made?

What a pity my skill is left unused!

Well, maybe I shouldn't

Shouldn't what?

Can I ask you a small favour?

That's alright, what is it?

A rubber hose, a long one

A hose? It's hard to find

Even if I do, it's very expensive

You want to buy it?

No, it's for, you know

The mistress of the geisha house?

She won't mind the price

I'll find it for her

I've got a bicycle tire

No puncture in it, brand new. Good one

Hello

Hi, there

Excuse me

Father, you are home today

Sure, I'm home today

and what is it today?

I went to the beauty parlor

but it was so crowded.

Yuki, I haven't seen you for some time

you look good

Is that right?

Gaining weight nowadays

is almost a miracle.

Father, have you had lunch?

Did you bring something good?

No, but if you haven't

I thought I'd eat with you

You must be kidding

Without bringing anything

you want to share my lunch?

You see what a father has

to go through?

Well, see you later

How was it? Did you win?

I didn't

You didn't win? Nothing?

They gave you cigarettes?

No

They didn't?

You lost 10 Yen for nothing?

Yes

You're stupid

Your everyday conduct is no good

losing 10 Yen.

Hey, don't cry, you're a boy

Here, take this

You are silly, really!

Look, I lost 10 Yen

you made me lose it

I lost 10 Yen for nothing!

Kawayoshi!

Oh, welcome back

The soda you want, I found it

but you must wait 2-3 days

Oh, thank you very much

Thank you so much

Don't you want a sweater?

Turtle neck, a nice one

What's going on?

Tane is mad or something

Well, you ate them, right?

If you did, say you ate them!

Or I'll really punish you!

You stubborn kid!

Aren't you going to tell me?

Didn't you eat them?

Now don't lie to me, you ate them

didn't you?

What are you mad about?

This kid ate my dried persimmons

Tane, you didn't have to be so mad

I'm not mad only about the persimmons

I'm mad because he's so stubborn

Did you eat them?

Don't scream at him like that

Why not? Leave me alone

Well, I don't know what to say

You see, Tane, I ate them

What? You ate them?

Yeah, they invited me to

Who did?

You see I got this craving

for sweet things.

And I happend to see them

You didn't have to tear off

the middle ones
