Once upon a time, a little bird lived near a forest.  His name is Buncho.  He loved leaf vegetables, cakes, and coffee very much.  One day, he talked with a friend of his, Aricho.  He is a really wise and intelligent ant and always gives Buncho really brilliant information and wisdoms.

“So, I think you are always talking about foods!  Now, I will tell you about a miracle leaf,” said he.

“A miracle leaf?” Buncho got really interested in it very soon.

“Yes, a miracle leaf”

     The, Aricho began to talk about it.  According to him, if you go in the deep deep forest, you can see a little open field.  It is filled with many vegetables and fruits which are raised by a beautiful mysterious fairy.  Of the plenty of vegetables, there is the greenest and fleshiest leaf.  This is the miracle leaf.  It is always flesh and it never goes rotten forever.  Taste is really good and when you eat it, and then it will soon recover, so you can eat it ever day and do not have to find someone new. 

“Wow, I do really want to try it!” said Buncho.

“But, many dangers are awaiting you in the deep forest.”

“Many dangers?”

“Fierce animals, dangerous plants, horrible monsters, and anything like that.”

“Hmm. That’s a problem,” he groaned.

“If you really want to go there, why don’t you ask Moring to gurd you?_”

“Oh, that’s a nice idea!”

     They two went to one of their friends, Moring who is a zombie.  He lives under the ground, and usually wakes up and begins to move after the sun sink below the horizon.  However, It was still in the afternoon.

“Hi Moring! Good evening!”

Buncho shouted toward the earth, feeling a little bid sorry for him.  After a moment, Moring’s head came out of the ground, looking really sleepy, but he smiled.  He was really kind zombie.

“Good evening everyone!  Good evening all of the world!!”

“I’m sorry for interrupting your sleeping, but I have a favor to ask you,” said Buncho.

“What is it?”

Buncho explained a miracle leaf and asked him to go with him.

“Hmm, I’d rather want to UDON or other noodles.”

“Oh, Moring. Come on!” said Buncho. “I will cook you a delicious noodle if you come with me!”

“Really?”

“Absolutely yes. I will also make a cabbage roll!  I’m sure we might find a miracle cabbage, too!”

“Yeah, maybe we can,” agreed Aricho.

“Wow, a miracle cabbage roll!  I want to try it! Then, let’ go soon!”

     Their adventure began.  They three walked in the forest.  The forest was dark and dismal, making them feel a little frightened and nervous.  It was no surprise that a really horrible animate life attacks them or that a disgusting accident occurs.

     Scared and shivering, they walked in the forest.  Suddenly, they heard a voice.

“I….I…I want.  I want to eat.  Eat…eat….you…!”

     Three of them were really frightened and squeezed to each other.  The voice came nearer and nearer.
