Once upon a time...
there were two sisters called Ume-san and
Kame-san.
For a long time, they lived alone in an old
mansion.
Nobody came to visit them, nor did they
want to see anybody.
Once every day, they would wander off to
town...
and bring back stuff they had found on the
way.
There were so many abandoned things in
the town...
that they never failed to find something
interesting.
Ume-san and Kame-san took very good
care of their find.
So their find grew to like the sisters very
much.
Broken clocks, torn futons and cracked
music boxes.
They all huddled together and watched
over the sisters.
When night came to the mansion...
Ume-san and Kame-san slept peacefully,
surrounded by their numerous finds.
A serene and long dark night.
A thousand nights went past.
But the sisters didn't notice...
the slight sound that had started to flow
into their old ears.
And in that flow...
someone was waiting to be found for the
longest time.
Children.
Gather around.
Get in line.
Now, let's sing that loud for the old ladies.
A sheep that sneezes
A sneeze that echoes
A red red apple...
Fell from a tree
Bleat, atchoo, drop!
It's now the sheep's apple
The sheep ate the apple
The apple is inside the sheep
The red red apple...
is now no longer
Bleat, munch, gulp!
The sheep ate it
The apple became the sheep
The sheep smelt like apple
Then it grew...
Curls of red wool
It's now the apple's sheep
Let's all spin...
The sheep's red yarn
The story of the apple sheep
Please take care of yourselves and live a
long and happy life!
Children...
Wait up!
What is it?
We ran over two old ladies.
You actually saw them.
Saw what?
Never mind.
This is beautiful.
A rarity.
Let me.
Gently.
A helmet.
A microphone.
Boo!

Good night.

She's not here.
Must have gone out.
Oh my!

Will it work?
Nobody can do anything on a full stomach.
She'll fall asleep.
Let's see.
Here.
Taste it.
Go ahead.
If you please.
She ate!
Hurray!
She was just hungry.
Didn't I tell you?
I hope she'll sleep now.
Let's wait and see.
