Episode 220
The Battle of the
Monkey and the Peach
**[00:05] Sweets**
C'mon and sprout, little persimmon seeds!
**[00:09] Sweets**
Or I'm gonna have to gorilla stomp you all!
**[00:11] Nokio**
What are you doing, Sweets?
**[00:13] Musubi**
What a weird song.
**[00:13] Sweets**
I planted some persimmon
seeds so they'll grow.
**[00:16] Bolt**
Why would you do something like that?
**[00:18] Sweets**
If they grow and bear fruit,
I'll get to eat lots of persimmons.
**[00:21] Sweets**
But they don't seem to be sprouting.
**[00:23] Meisaku**
Oh yeah?
**[00:24] Sweets**
Wanna give it a try, Meisaku?
I've still got some left. Look.
**[00:27] Meisaku**
Persimmon seed-shaped rice crackers?!
**[00:27] Sign**
Kaki-no-Tane
**[00:27] Sign**
Persimmon Seed-Shaped
**[00:27] Sign**
Rice Crackers
**[00:29] Bolt**
Those will *never* sprout!
**[00:30] Sweets**
They won't?
**[00:31] Sweets**
Gah! I've been deceived!
**[00:33] Meisaku**
Deceived? By whom?
**[00:35] Sweets**
Sarutahiko-kun in the class next to ours.
**[00:37] Meisaku**
Sarutahiko-kun?
**[00:38] Sweets**
He's so unpleasant.
**[00:40] Sweets**
His dad's loaded, meaning whenever he does
bad stuff, he just pays his way out of trouble.
**[00:44] Meisaku**
Don't you do something similar?
**[00:46] Musubi**
I know the guy you mean.
Only his underlings like him.
**[00:50] Bolt**
And they're only there for the money.
**[00:52] Nokio**
But my boss... I mean, Sarutahiko
must have *some* good points, right?
**[00:56] Sweets**
Hm?
**[00:57] Meisaku**
Nokio, are you his underling?
**[00:58] Nokio**
A-As if!
**[01:00] Sweets**
Aw man. So I did all that
bartering for nothing.
**[01:02] Musubi**
What'd you barter for the rice crackers?
**[01:05] Sweets**
A 5,000 yen bill!
**[01:05] Sign**
Kaki-no-Tane
**[01:06] Nokio**
That's not exactly bartering.
**[01:08] Bolt**
That's shopping.
**[01:09] Sweets**
Dang it!
**[01:10] Meisaku**
This totally reminds me of the classic tale,
*The Battle of the Monkey and the Crab*.
**[01:14] Musubi**
Here comes the plot.
**[01:15] Meisaku**
A crab agrees to trade his rice ball
for a monkey's persimmon seed.
**[01:15] Sign**
The Battle of the
Monkey and the Crab
**[01:18] Meisaku**
But in the end, the crab gets deceived by
the monkey, who steals the persimmons.
**[01:22] Meisaku**
The crab's gang then gets
revenge on the monkey.
**[01:24] Sweets**
That's it!
**[01:25] Sweets**
I'll assemble a gang and get my revenge!
**[01:29] Sweets**
Okay, everyone! Thank you for coming today.
**[01:32] Sweets**
Let's band together and defeat Sarutahiko!
**[01:35] Bolt**
It has nothing to do with us, though.
**[01:36] Sweets**
By the way, how did the
monkey get punished in the story?
**[01:40] Meisaku**
Hm, let's see... They made the
monkey slip and fall in cow manure.
**[01:44] Musubi**
C-Cow manure? But why?
**[01:46] Bolt**
That makes zero sense!
**[01:47] Nokio**
And it's so gross!
**[01:47] Meisaku**
Hey, don't blame me.
**[01:49] Bolt**
What can we do instead?
**[01:50] Sweets**
Well, I say...
**[01:51] Sweets**
Let's go with the flow!
**[01:52] Meisaku**
The flow?
**[01:55] Sweets**
And so, we're all hiding in
Sarutahiko's house while he's out!
**[01:59] Meisaku**
Huh? I can hear you, but I don't see you.
**[02:00] Sweets**
Now, Meisaku, can you figure
out where we're all hiding?
**[02:03] Meisaku**
Um...
**[02:04] Meisaku**
In that hole in the wall?
**[02:06] Sweets**
Correct!
**[02:06] Sweets**
I punched this hole in the
wall and hid myself in it!
**[02:09] Meisaku**
This hole's probably 5,000 yen's
worth of revenge right there.
**[02:12] Meisaku**
Now, for Musubi...
**[02:14] Meisaku**
...who's right there.
**[02:15] Musubi**
Yup! I'm sitting here,
pretending to be a sandwich.
**[02:18] Meisaku**
Can't you just pretend to be a rice ball?
**[02:20] Nokio**
I'm over here.
**[02:21] Nokio**
When he gets near,
I'll yell and surprise him.
**[02:23] Meisaku**
Yelling, huh?
**[02:24] Sweets**
That's kind of weak.
**[02:26] Nokio**
Not at all! I'll yell something
shocking to surprise him.
**[02:28] Meisaku**
Something shocking, huh?
**[02:30] Bolt**
And I'm up here!
**[02:32] Meisaku**
Above us?!
**[02:32] Bolt**
When Nokio shocks Sarutahiko with his
loud yelling, I'll throw this mortar at him!
**[02:36] Meisaku**
I guess *The Battle of the Monkey
and the Crab* needs a mortar.
**[02:39] Sweets**
And I've put out something
similar to cow manure!
**[02:42] Meisaku**
Oh yes, I see it. What is this?
**[02:43] Sweets**
Chow mein-ure!
**[02:43] Sign**
Chow Mein-ure
**[02:43] Sign**
Chow Mein-ure
**[02:44] Musubi**
That just *sounds* similar!
**[02:46] Sweets**
Okay, Sarutahiko will be home any second.
**[02:49] Sweets**
Everyone, stand by!
**[02:50] Meisaku**
I don't know if this'll work...
**[02:54] Sarutahiko**
I'm home!
**[02:55] Nokio**
I'll go first!
**[02:57] Sweets**
Nokio, yell something
shocking and surprise him!
**[02:59] Nokio**
Don't come in, Boss! Danger awaits you here!
**[03:02] Sarutahiko**
Huh?
**[03:02] Meisaku**
He really did say something shocking!
**[03:04] Sweets**
You traitor!
**[03:06] Sarutahiko**
Hey, what's this?
**[03:07] Sweets**
He avoided the chow mein-ure!
**[03:08] Bolt**
And now, you get...
**[03:10] Bolt**
...the mortar!
**[03:13] Meisaku**
All we really needed was the mortar.
**[03:18] Sweets**
Just like we planned!
**[03:19] Meisaku**
What plan?
**[03:20] Sarutahiko**
Damn it!
**[03:21] Sweets**
Give me my 5,000 yen back!
**[03:23] Sarutahiko**
No way. Do you really think you can get
away with doing something like this to me?
**[03:27] Bolt**
What do you mean?
**[03:29] Sarutahiko**
I can just go tell my dad
to drive you out of town.
**[03:34] Sweets**
Wh-What a cowardly thing to do.
**[03:36] Sweets**
But if you plan to go through with it...
**[03:38] Meisaku**
What will you do?
**[03:39] Sweets**
I'll go ask my dad to buy
up your dad's company...
**[03:42] Sweets**
...and drive *you* out of town!
**[03:45] Meisaku**
You're just doing the same thing as him!
**[03:48] Narrator**
And they all lived happily ever after!
