"In anger my hair stands on end
"and as the rain stops
"I launch a shrill cry at the heavens
"My valiant heart loses hope
"My exploits are naught

"And my wanderings,

my still-young head grey
"O vainglorious pain!
"The shame of defeat

"May the soldiers wallow
in the flesh of the barbarians
"May they quench their thirst
on the blood of the Xiongnu

Why a cabbage?
Hurry up and finish.

Totally crazy!
You're strange.
Wacked!

Don't you want any?
Did somebody already feed you?
Handsome!
Did you miss me?
Pee.
I need to pee.
There you go.

Miss Cabbage.

We brought her to life.
And...
How about "Miss Big Boobs"?
Say that again.
Miss Big Boobs.
That's just weird!

Let's sing Happy Birthday.
One, two, three...
Happy birthday to you...
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday, Daddy.
Are you going to make a wish?
Make a wish, Daddy.
Blow out the candles.
- Finished.
- Good.
You haven't finished this bit.
- Where?
- Here.
Think about it.
As well as "kicking"?
As well as "constantly kicking"?
The foot moves,
what does the hand do?
The hand lets it happen.
Let's what happen?
What do I write here?
"Constantly"?
Think about it.
"Slapping constantly..."
Are you correcting it?
I've done all the rest.
Good.
The teacher wants me to do it again.
What do I do here?
Think about it.
You haven't finished.
I don't know what to write.
- What's the subject?
- A Day Out.
Do you need photos?
Where do you want to go?
I want to go to a toy shop.
I can have a day off
and take you.
- I'll tell you a story.
- O.
The Frogs Want a ing.
There are lots of frogs
in a pond.
But because they're weak
they're always being mistreated.
They ask the Fairy
to send them a king,
so that no one
will ever mistreat them again.
At midnight
they pray to have a king.
But all they get sent
is a simple stick of wood.
The frogs pray again for a king.
This time they get sent a crane,
which eats them all up.
No one protects the frogs.
Poor things.
That's a scary story.
Are the cracks in the walls
because of ghosts?
- The wall is sick.
- How do you mean?
A house is like a person.
It gets sick, it grows old.
The cracks in the walls
are like its wrinkles.
You see?
Every house has a story.
But this house is scary.
Too many cracks.
Don't be scared, I'll protect you.
My brother too?
I'll protect you both.
Why is the house
in such a bad state?
What happened?
- That's a secret.
- Tell me.
One day it started raining...
It rained non-stop.
It rained so hard
that water got in.
The house started crying...
and crying...
Can't you see the tears?
You see? Up there.
- The white bits?
- Yes, the tracks of its tears.
I can't see any water.
It dried up.
Shall I help you?
Come here.
Come here, dogs.
Come here, Star.
Careful.
What a big tree!
Careful.
