IBUKI GETS (TOO MUCH) FISH
• SCENE 1 — FISH DELIVERY #1
• Mum: “Darling Ibuki, I bring fish! 2 fish!”
• Mum: “Hungry?”
• Ibuki 息吹: “One down!”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Whoa, nice catch mum.”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Ugh— this one’s pretty big, mum.”
• Ibuki 息吹: “I’m… gonna be digesting for a while…”
• Mum: “You’ll be hungry again soon!”
• Mum: “Be back with mo’ fish!”
• Ibuki 息吹: “More?”
• Ibuki 息吹: “I’m feeling… stuffed…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Perhaps a little nap will help.”
• Dad: “She’s a growing girl. More fish!”
• SCENE 2 — FISH DELIVERY #2
• 2G: “incoming!”
• Mum: “Darling Ibuki, I’ve brought you some nice fish.”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Mum… I know you worked hard fishing… but…”
• Dad (far right): “Oh, boy.”
• Ibuki 息吹: “OK, I’ll try…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “I’m really not…”
• “… hungry…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Sorry mum.”
• Mum: “I caught your favorite.”
• Dad: “Ibuki, some chicks don’t have a mother who loves them as much…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Remember that BIG fish you brought me… a little while ago?”
• Mum: “Just try…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “All—right—”
• Mum: “Not AGAIN!” • Dad: “You know, I’m a little peckish…”
• Dad: “Hey Ibuki, you HATCHED…”
• “… right here!”
• Mum: “That’s it Ibuki!”
• Dad: “Darling, this is a mighty fine fish! I appreciate you!”
Mum: “Seconds?”
• Dad: “Del— i— cious—!”
• Mum: “Say, I know this nice view down Hanauma Bay way…”
• Ibuki 息吹: “Thank goodness THAT’S over!”
CHECKING OUT THE LOWER PLAYGROUND
At the end of the day, a “new” pair of terns was giving the tree over the big sandbox a good look.
(It’s actually not a good tree for chicks. The many kukui nut trees are far better.)
• A: “Hey, lookie over here!”
• A: “This looks like a nice place to raise a chick, neh?”
• A: “Oooo— it just makes me feel all FLUFFY all over!”
• B: “If you’re done fluffing, yes… lots of children running around screaming… a good sign…”
• A: “Darling I see…”
• B: “… a bug? Thanks darling.”
• A: “A little nap?” • B: “Why… <Zzzzzzzzzzz>…”
