Once upon a time....
Seven little goats and their mother lived in a charming town among nature.
After dinner,
the little goats gathered around
and started playing a map game.
The youngest goat spun the globe,
then pointed with his hoof and chose a place.
Hmm...
A giant island.
Or maybe an island country?
Hey!
No clues!
Ah, yes!
Now I remember!
This is Japan, and Tokyo is right under my finger.
You know the rules of the game.
You have to say what you know about the country or the city you point at.
The one that knows the most information wins.
Tokyo is the capital of Japan.
Tell us, tell us more!
Hmm,
I know the Sakura trees.
They have a lot of temples and beautiful parks.
The little goat was trying to think of more information about Japan.
At that moment,
he saw two of his siblings having a pillow fight.
So...
The youngest sibling got up immediately and yelled.
They have Sumo wrestling!
Congrats!
What are those little goats doing?
They look like they're having so much fun.
How dare they?
Pfff!
Mother Goat came into the room to check up on them
as she heard them laughing aloud.
When she saw they were pillow fighting,
she laughed and said.
Kids,
do you want to go to Tokyo and watch Sumo wrestlers up close?
Really?
How?
WOW!
Of course!
Yaaayyy!
Let's go to Tokyo this weekend.
We can do some sightseeing and watch a Sumo match.
I want to see the Sakura trees too.
They're beautiful!
They got ready.
And mother goat and her kids got on the airplane.
And of course...
The wicked wolf too.
The little goats were excited and happy.
One of the little goats kept staring at one of the passengers
because this passenger looked like the wicked wolf.
Unfortunately,
the little goat couldn't recognize him.
Did you really think you could recognize me wearing this outfit?
Silly goat!
Hehehe.
They arrived in Japan after a wonderful flight.
On the first day of their trip,
the goats walked through Tokyo's beautiful parks.
WOW!
This place is incredible!
Yesssss!
Mother Goat gathered her children under a Sakura tree.
And explained the meaning of the name.
The word Sakura means "cherry blossom" in Japanese.
So when will this tree grow cherries?
Sakura is a fruitless tree.
These flowers take a long time to bloom,
but after two weeks,
the blossoms start to fall.
In Japan,
Sakura flowers announce the beginning of spring.
MOM!
The wolf is here!
You wicked wolf!
You are everywhere!
What can I say?
I also happened to be in Tokyo,
and I love these flowers a lot!
Really?
If you tell me the name of these flowers,
I'll let you go.
Uhh….umm…
Can you give me a hint?
What was it?
They're daisies.
Yes, that's it!
They are daisies.
No, you're wrong.
These are Sakura.
Look!
There's a panda bear on the tree!
It's about to fall!
Huh, where?
Which tree?
When everyone looked up,
the wolf started running away.
STOP!
I said, stop!
I'm going to catch you!
He never learns his lesson!
Good morning, kids!
Today,
we'll continue sightseeing in Tokyo.
And I have a surprise for you tonight.
Cool!
Where?
Where are we going?
I love surprises!
Mother Goat and her kids continued walking the streets of Tokyo.
None of the goats recognized the wolf
as he frequently changed his disguise.
At sunset,
Mother Goat showed her kids the tickets she held.
It's time for tonight's surprise, kids!
Children,
these tickets are for tonight's big tournament.
What tournament?
The Sumo wrestling tournament is one of the most important events in Japan.
So, are we watching a Sumo match?
Yippee!
Mother Goat and her kids were watching the wrestlers excitedly.
But the youngest goat was hiding behind his mother,
a little concerned.
Mom, doesn’t it hurt them?
No, it doesn’t.
The meaning of the word Sumo is to mutually rush at or to compete safely.
It means self-defense,
right mommy?
Yes, that is true,
nobody gets hurt here.
This is a sports competition.
As Mother Goat talked to her kids,
The wolf showed up
and threw one of the goats in his sack
and started running.
Mother Goat saw the panicked wolf running among the spectators,
and she yelled.
Get him!
The wicked wolf got one of my kids.
As the Sumo wrestlers were competing,
the wolf was trying to run away among the spectators.
One of the people in the audience stuck his foot out and made the wolf trip.
Ahhhhhh!
The wolf flew across and fell in the arena,
where the Sumo wrestlers were competing.
The audience started clapping at the Sumo wrestlers
when they saw the unconscious wolf.
Yaayy!
What happened to me?
Where am I?
Who am I?
The police officers at the arena
grabbed the wolf from under the confused Sumo wrestlers.
Wolf slowly recovered and started crying.
Forgive me.
I'm very sorry!
I won't do it again.
No,
you must be punished.
You'll work in the kitchen,
preparing the food for the Sumo wrestlers.
Nooo!
I hate working in the kitchen!
Ahhhhh mannn,
I don’t like mopping the floors.
