The boy replied:

"Because I like your whiskers."

The banyan tree was

a bit disappointed.

The tree continued:

"Is that all?"

My dear cos!

The boy tilted his head

and thought it over.

"The trees keep out the sun,

casting cool, comfortable shade.

That's why I like to play here."

The banyan tree felt a bit bad,

and continued:
"Is that all?"

It tickles! It itches!

What the heck is it?

Ah!

Alright, class is adjourned.

- Rise!

Bow!

- Thank you, Teacher!

You aren't allowed to leave.

What're you looking at?

Scram!

Get lost!

Have another sip of cola,

I'll tightly clasp your hand.

"Clasp tightly."

I'll clasp tightly your hand.

- Teacher!

This is a letter my sister

wrote to you.

Who wrote it?

"The beauty at the butcher shop".

What's so funny?

Uncle Chou,

are you free tomorrow?

My dad asks that you come

reap rice tomorrow.

Don't do that!

This one's for you.

First, you poke two holes

for the eyes...

Mr. Lu!

- Mr. Lu!

Mr. Lu!

- Mr. Lu!

Who was that?

- I couldn't tell.

So why did you wave to them?

- If someone waves, you wave back.

What a phony!

Thank you.

I caught an owl!

Look! isn't he nice?

He's hurt.

Let's put some mercurochrome

on his cut. - OK.

Have another sip of cola,

I'll clasp tightly your hand

Hand-in-hand from now on

and 'till the end of time

Have a bit more cola and

put your hand in mine

Get together often and

let our friendship shine

No need to say you like me,

if it's really true

And though / haven 't said it,

you know / like you, too

Green grass, cool stream,

your hand in mine

Treasure them all:

we'll soon leave them behind

How come there are

so many dead fish?

Someone's using poison

to catch fish upstream.

They can't do that!

Let's go find them.

Don't you know that

poisoning fish is against the law?

Look!

You're killing all the fish

in the stream.

Soon there'll be none left at all.

So? Do they belong to you?

No, they don't belong to me,

nor to you, either!

They belong to everyone.

Or don't you care?

If you don't stop now,

I'll call the police.

Stop m

Stop complaining.

Two against one, and you lost!

I wasn't in the fight...

l jumped in the water,

and couldn't get back up.

We should've called the police instead.

What for? You want to bring

charges against him?

We should notify the

proper authorities.

Otherwise, there'll soon

be no fish in the stream.

Aunt Su-yun, Mr Lu!

Dinner's ready!

Coming!

You're hopeless!

Stand!

Bow!

- Hello, Teacher.

Sit!

All right.

Class, I'm sure you all find my appearance

a little unusual today, right?

Right!

Yesterday, I went fishing

in Neiwan Creek.

I saw a man poisoning the fish,

and I got mad.

I told him to stop,
