he came over, and barn, barn!

This is what happens to

people who fight.

Fighting is not a civilized

thing to do,

so you should all learn to control

yourselves. Don't be like me.

Mr Lu, who was poisoning

the fish?

Someone from another town.

I never saw him before.

Poisoning fish is an unlawful

and immoral act,

because all the young fish

are killed, too.

So, if you ever see anyone

poisoning fish,

tell me right away,

or report it to the police.

Mr. Lu, I know who it was!

- Who?

Chou Hsing-wang's father!

That's not true! He helped us cut

rice yesterday. I was there!

Then he must've gone after all

the rice was cut.

I've seen his father fishing

with an electric rod.

Chou Hsing-wang's father

cut rice yesterday.

He didn't go home

'till after dark.

Liar! Your fathers good friends

with his father!

You're just protecting him.

All right, all right!

Stop arguing and sit down!

Hung-Hang, don't accuse

Hsing-wang's father...

if you didn't see him

with your own eyes.

We have proof that the man

was from another town:

even Mr. Li and Miss Chen had

never seen him before.

Also, Wen-chin says Mr. Chou

was cutting rice.

So, you should apologise

to Chou Hsing-wang.

I'm sorry!

Chou Hsing-wang, was it your

dad or not? Tell me.

Ou Hung-Hang!

Mr Lu said it wasn't him.

Why don't you stop?

You never saw his father

using his electric rod?

That's different from using poison.

Plus, my cousin saw him

cutting rice, too.

She's on your side,

just because she's your cousin!

You're full of it!

I'd just told you that fighting

is an uncivilized act,

and you're fighting already.

Two against one, to boot.

It wasn't two against one:

I went first, and then he went!

That's still ganging up!

I want you to hold hands.

Come on, now!

Keep holding hands.

Chou Hsing-wang, ifs your turn.

I want you to stand here

holding hands for an hour.

Mr. Chou, the one who

wove me a grass chicken?

Yeah, he's really something!

Haven't you heard?

I saw him get into a fight at the coal mine.

He took on two guys at once.

Your turn to feed it.

- Okay.

Don't listen to Ou Hung-liang.

He's a brown nose.

He's jealous, 'cause of

Chou Hsing-wang's marks.

Mama, time flies like an arrow

You left...

Chou Hsing-wang got into

a fight in class today.

He's a good student,

yet his dad's a lawbreaker.

Do you know his father?

- Sure I do.

Does he really fish with

an electric rod?

He does all kinds of work,

mostly short-term jobs.

He used to work in my

brother's mining company, but...

He was fired?

- For fighting.

After leaving the army,

he married an aborigine.

She was much younger than him.

Kids from such families

tend to be sensitive.
