Follow the story of Kimbō and his father as they navigate the excitement and challenges of the Tenjin Festival while dealing with Kimbō's constant requests to buy things. Will Kimbō keep his promise to be a good boy?
E N D
Children often bother their parents to buy them everything they see. This can be a great nuisance for parents.
Daddy, Daddy… What? Will you take me to the Tenjin Festival?
No way. You always make trouble, saying ‘Buy me this, buy me that…’ in front of the vendors.
I will not say ‘Buy me this, buy me that...’ I will be a good boy.
You have never been a good boy when you said you would. But, take me to the Tenjin Festival.
Darling, what’s wrong with you? Kimbō is in tears and promisesto be good, so please take him. Kimbō, you won’t say ‘Buy me this, buy me that...’ today, right?
Trust me, I will not say ‘Buy me this, buy me that...’ You are both impossible. I will take you to the Tenjin Festival and you promise that you will never say ‘Buy me this, buy me that…’
For sure? Sure! No doubt! I’ve decided to take Kimbō to the shrine. Prepare our supper while we are out. Off we go.
Darling, watch the kid in the big crowd. Kinbō, don’t get lost, make sure you stay with Daddy.
Listen, son, you promised not to say ‘Buy me this and buy me that’ at the vendors. Yes, I promised. I will be good. Don’t worry. A promise between men.
If you break your promise, saying ‘Buy me this and buy me that, ’ I will throw you in the river for punishment. I will be OK, because I can swim.
Swimming won’t help you. The Kappa in the river will bite you on the head!
Daddy, don’t you know that a Kappa is merely an imaginary animal?
Horrible adults threaten us children with imaginary creatures, lying as if they really exist.
We cannot entrust the future of Japan to such grown-up idiots.
Where did you learn such a thing? Just walk. Look! What’s that?
That’s a rickshaw. I know it’s a rickshaw. I’m asking about the people on it.
They must be a family. I thought so, too. A family. They look so much alike. And what are we?
We are a family. They are a family, too… I envy them…
They seem so comfortable on wheels. On the contrary, we are walking so hard…
When kids have loser parents we end up in such misery… Why do you say that? Children must be on their feet to train their bodies, so you grow up to be a strong adult like your Daddy.
Look over there at that child being swung along between his parents… So cute, kids should be innocent like that. Then swing me! Lift me!
You sound saucy, but are a kid after all. Hold my hand tight. I’ll lift you.
How is it? Wow, it works! Feels so good! Do it again, again!
How is it? Feels so good! Floating in the air! Do it again, again!
Daddy, You are so innocent and easy to please.
Stop making fun of your parent. I did it only because you asked. Look, it’s getting crowded. Hold my hand, so you do not get lost.
Don’t worry. I’m not that young so I won’t get lost. So many people… Are they all going to the Tenjin shrine?
Cotton candy! Looking good…
Octopus Balls… Looking tasty…
Looking good… Masks!... Apricot candy, two extra! All looking so good…
Wait, Daddy. Why are you pulling my sleeve? Daddy, I didn’t ask you to buy me things today, right? Right. I kept my promise, right?
Because I am a good boy… Buy me a reward.
Now you’ve started. You promised. I won’t buy you anything.
Don’t say that. I am the only poor kid who hasn’t got anything. Just one. Buy me something. Buy me something, Daddy.
Are you going around selling your Daddy? ‘Buy Daddy, Buy Daddy’ People are watching us. Stop it. I won’t buy you anything.
Please buy me something. No! Buy me… No is No!
What’s wrong with buying me something to reward me for being good? Buy me something… Please…
Why are you suddenly so loud? People on the street are shocked. Be quiet! I won’t buy you anything. Buy me something!Anything will do.
