ink puddle

[Music]

hold on i'll grab it

[Music]

oh great now we're really in trouble

and the water is going fast

now what do we do we have to get out of

this

river

[Music]

mother could we perhaps go see the

traveling entertainers for just a little

while

i told you before we are not going to

see those performers and that's

final

[Music]

my cherry blossom as it is such a

beautiful day outside

why don't we go for a stroll

it sounds like water lots of water

like rapids

we have to jump onto a longer bridge

there's one

[Applause]

yeah thanks you too i can't believe we

made it off

[Music]

we're completely lost but i guess

we can follow the river all the way back

yeah but that'll take all day and night

we've been traveling west so to get back

we have to travel east and east is

this way how did you know that

every morning the sun rises in the east

and every night it sets in the west

so we should be traveling away from the

sun

wow that's smart

look traveling entertainers

the reader informed me earlier that

these are the same entertainers that

perform for the

emperor the emperor really

there's signposts let's see which way to

the village

signposts but they're in writing we'll

never figure it out

actually i read a little

and i can also write a little

you can read and write not everything

but this this

this has my master's name on it

so this should be the way wow

you can read and write i'm impressed

where's aqua she went back to see those

strange cats with the big ears that eat

locusts

yeah they eat locusts

what strange cats we better go find her

then we'll go see the traveling

[Music]

entertainers

so my dear daughters have you decided

what you are going to wear tonight

where tonight why well

tonight the emperor's favorite traveling

entertainers are performing

i think it would be fun for all of us to

go

[Music]

what if we've traveled all day in the

wrong direction

listen music our music

wha you can hear that

they can't be far

whoa we're here

[Music]

thanks for helping me get back home no

thanks for helping me get back home

you guys are in big trouble everyone's

been searching

i found them ah

sagua we've looked everywhere for you

too b whose parents have been as worried

as we have

we got lost and stuck

on on a log in the river and floated far

away

and walked and walked until we found our

way back here

we're okay just hungry

hungry of course b whose mother has

invited us all for dinner

huh dinner here but

but i don't think i'm going to like

locusts very much

we don't have locusts for dinner they're

snacks silly

but you should try them sometime

yeah maybe when you try shrimp

[Music]

astounding they are far more

entertaining and skillful than i thought

they would be

the emperor has very good taste

so then you ate locust for dinner right

was it gross nope

they eat lots of other stuff too stuff

i've never seen before

but it tastes amazing you mean they're

not totally

weird hmm then maybe locusts aren't that

bad either

[Laughter]

them in honor of the magistrate and thai

thai's wedding anniversary
