01x02 - I Don't Want to be a Puppet

[bunniefuu]

Ladies and gentlemen.

Behold a rare wooden pupet that can move freely without any strings and even sing.

Mokku!

The first performance will be a song performed by Mokku!

Come on Mokku, sing for an audience.

But I don't know how to sing.

Moron, all you have to do is sing properly.

But... I....

If you don't gonna sing, you bastard, you know what's going to happen to you.

Now sing. Sing.

I'm a wooden puppet made of oak.

My head is full of oak trees.

But I'm just a kid like the others.

But when I'm lonely.

Tears come out.

I'm a sad wooden puppet.

A wooden puppet.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next performance will be a funny puppet polka dance!

Now dance!

B..but...

I kind of...

I can't dance.

Idiot, just dance.

But I....

Come on!

You're good at it. Keep going!

Today I earned three times more than usual.

From now on, I will be able to make good money.

I'm sorry for what are you going through, but it's going to get worse now.

Yes. We puppets are just a toys for humans.

After being forced to work hard, he are put us to the fire.

There's nothing you can do, no matter how bad it is.

'Cause we're puppets from the moment we're made.

Grandpa...

Mokku, where have you gone.

I'm all alone again.

Please, come back my dear Mokku...

Grandpa, please forgive me.

Mokku.

I warned you in antique shop!

Now you realize how stupid you did!

Your poor grandpa is worried about you!

Grandpa even couldn't sleep because of you!

He even caught a cold because he sold his only jacket.

Shame on you, Mokku you're being such a bad boy.

Hey, why are you mad at me, Mokku?

I will find a job to help Grandpa!

Oh really? And where are you going work?

I will work here and then I'll buy Grandpa a new coat and then go home.

You're so naive.

The world doesn't work like that. Things never go the way you want!

You're so annoying!

Mokku, if you gonna trust people, you'll gonna get into trouble!

Do you hear me, Mokku?

Shut up!

He dissapeard.

Good for me, he was really noisy.

What do you need, Mokku?

Well, um...

Master?

What?!

I will work hard for my master from tomorrow!

Oh so you finally figured out what to do.

Now I don't need to use force.

B...but.

What?!

Maybe you could share the profits with me?

What?!

I see.

If you're willing to work hard and attract an audience.

I have no complaints.

Alright, let's do our share.

Master, thank you!

I'll do my best!

Of course.

You are a good boy and you will earn a lot of money. But for now go to sleep.

Such a stupid puppet.

Do you think you could easily go home?!

But you promised...

Shut up!

Do you understand, idiot?!

Poor Mokku, now you understand that after all we puppets are just toys for humans.

Grandpa...

Mokku give up, we just a puppets.

And if we'll break, will be thrown away and that's the end.

Cricket was right.

I was wrong.

He earn this money because I was working hard.

It's unbearable that the master controls everything.

Ok.

You'll gonna be smashed and thrown in the stove.

First of all I need to pull out the key.

Good, now you gotta run.

But I want to escape together.

No, escape yourself, we can't walk like you.

Do you wanted escape with all that money?

Why do i have to suffer like this.

Is this because I'm a puppet?

I hate being a puppet.

I want to be human.

I want to be real human boy!

Mokku!

I am the fairy of the oak tree you were made of.

So you're the one who gave me life?

Please, I don't want to be a puppet anymore, I want to be human!

I don't have a power to do that.

So there's no way i can become real?

Actually there is a way.

Mokku, It's up to you to become a human.

What should i do then?

Please tell me!

Always be a good boy.

If you learn to have a kind and righteous heart, you will definitely become a real human being.

Really?

Of course.

You must always strive to have the righteous and kind heart.

I'll try to have that righteous heart and kind heart.

And i'll sure become real human.

I am looking forward to that day to come, Mokku.
