Scene 35-3: How a 6-year-old thinks

A small insect cage in the corner of the schoolyard.
Inside, a single grasshopper hopping around.

6-year-old E-kun squats down in front of it.
The childcare worker watching from the side suddenly asks.

"What do you think would happen if you fed this grasshopper 10 times a day?"

E-kun replies immediately with a serious look on his face.

"Well... that would,
the grasshopper would get dizzy and die.
Because even though a grasshopper is an insect, it's the same as a human in that regard."

The childcare workers who were there
nodded involuntarily, saying, "I see!"
