Mother's Field
When the seedlings in Mom's field began to sprout,
we were all very happy!
However, some wild animals destroyed those sprouts.
We were all so disappointed we didn't know what to do.
None of us felt any motivation to work.
Mom was especially affected, and spent all day in bed.
- All right, Jack, you can let go of it now. - Yes.
And now, Jack, we must check if the wood is dry.
Yes!
Franz, it makes no sense to keep the wood dry.
I'm sure no ship will pass here.
- Flone, shouldn't you be on the lookout? - All right.
Anyway, I don't think there's anything to see.
I see something shining there! It a sail! The sail of a boat!
- Franz, a ship! A ship is coming! - Are you sure?! Where?
- Further to the right, near the cliffs. - It true. I can see something there.
Right?!
We must light the fire! The matches! Where are the matches?!
- Oh, it's just a bird. - Not true!
I'm not lying. Look more closely. It's an Albatross.
You're right, it's flying. But it's a seagull.
The seagull is called "albatross" by sailors.
Eh? Why is that?
Because they're like you. You saw a seagull and called it a "ship".
You're too much!
Anna, it's sad, but it couldn't be helped. Everyone fails sometime.
Yes, it couldn't be helped.
We're back! Dad, Mom! Flone thought an albatross was a ship!
Jack, you didn't have to tell them that!
- Reporting: we saw no ships today either. - I see.
I think it's pointless to keep watch every day.
It's not pointless. One of these days, a ship will arrive.
We must continue to believe and continue to keep watch.
Anna, we'll head back home and rest a while.
Yes.
- Dad, I'll do it this time. - Very well. I'll leave it to you.
Careful!
Darn! A trunk broken in two is useless to us.
Mom? Why did you come here, Mom?
It feels good.
- I feel a little ashamed. - Eh?
You and Jack were here all day watching the sea with so much hope,
while I was discouraged after a single failure.
- Mom... - I'm glad I came here.
From now on, I won't be discouraged by a little adversity.
Now, shall we go?
Huh? What's this?
The wood was wet from the rain, so we put it out to dry.
- I arranged this. - Good, you did a wonderful job.
- I've got a great idea. - What? What is it, Mom?
No. It was nothing.
Come with me.
- It's Dad and Franz. - You're right.
- Let's go meet them! - Okay.
Have we failed again?
What happened?
Every time we try to cut a tree, it breaks in half.
When we've sawed through half of it, it splits.
Well, of course.
Eh?
You don't know, because you've always lived in the city,
but there is a specific method to fell large trees.
Hmm?
If you only saw on one side, there will come a point
when you can't saw deeper and then the trunk will split and fall.
To prevent that from happening,
you have to saw a little on the side that is more tilted,
and then you have to saw on the opposite side.
That way, the tree fall where you want it to.
You're very knowledgeable!
That's what my grandfather did every time he wanted to cut down a tree.
Oh! There's a solution to every problem.
Let's try it again. It looks like this one is leaning.
- Is this enough? - Yes.
And now I'll saw on the opposite side.
- Let me relieve you a little. - Oh, sure.
It's about to fall!
- I'm impressed! - You're right! It didn't split at all!
You see? Now we need to remove the branches from the trunk.
Flone, will you fetch the ax for your father?
Yes!
- These will be very useful. - Here's the ax.
- Flone, help me carry the wood. - Sure.
- We have taken so many, right, Mom? - Yes, but we still need many more.
- The saw is stuck. - Let me try.
It's true. I can't move it.
I see. The cut gets narrower because of the weight of the tree, and the saw gets stuck.
What can we do? We must find a solution.
Don't worry, even I know what to do in this situation.
- Now pull out the saw. - Yes.
- Hey, now it moves easily! - Yes, it worked.
We're through!
- This time Mom won't make fun of us. - That's true!
- Jack, give me another one. - Okay.
Don't do that! Ah, Mercre!
Just a little more and we're finished, Mr. Donkey.
Good job.
Good job, Mr. Donkey.
Mom, now we have a fence, but do you have any seeds?
Yes, it's all right.
I kept half the seeds in case we would fail.
Fantastic! You even thought about that! That's the great Mrs. Robinson!
Oh Flone, the things you say.
All right! Now, let's take a break!
Dad, wouldn't it be better to transport the trunk when we've finished the canoe?
Then it would be much lighter.
Indeed, once it is hollowed out, it will be much lighter,
but if we transport it when it's completed, it could suffer damage.
In that case, we'd have to carry it on our shoulders.
It's a long way to the shore from here.
I understand. Then it's best to transport the trunk before we manufacture the canoe.
If you are tired, we can do it tomorrow.
No, we need to finish by today.
We can't lose to Mom and the others that work on the field.
Then let's get going again!
How is the fence coming along?
Everything is going well. Flone and Jack are helping me a lot.
Really?
They work hard and haven't complained even once.
Honestly, I'm quite surprised. Franz has become much stronger.
We always complain about the bad luck to be stranded on this uninhabited island,
but I am convinced that when we return to civilization,
this experience will have been important for our children.
You're right. I think so, too.
All right. This is good. Jack, give me another one.
Here, Flone.
- Jack, next one, please. - Here, Flone!
Hooray, we're done!
We're done!
- Now we can begin to sow. - Yes!
- You've made a great fence! - Have you completed the canoe?
Unfortunately, we have only one tool, and Franz and is using it now.
I would like to have more tools.
- What, in particular? - A tool for plowing.
I want to plant some melons,
and I need to plow the field to plant the seeds.
If I can't have a plow, a shovel made of hardwood would be good.
Hardwood?
Yes, I've heard that there's a type of tree called "Ironwood" that grows in Brazil.
Perhaps I can find one on this island.
- I'll look for it. - Please do.
Ironwood... This seems pretty hard.
No, that's not it.
This isn't it either.
- How is Mom and the others doing? - They've already finished planting.
All right! We need to finish the canoe before the plants sprout!
We finally finished it, Dad!
Yes. Tomorrow we'll celebrate the launch.
The launch?
Yes, it means we will put the canoe in the water.
I want to go, too!
Of course you can, if the boat stays afloat.
- I'm sure it will float! - You're right.
The plants are about to sprout, right?
Yes, if things go as before, they will come today or the day after.
I can't wait!
Oh!
So many birds!
Isn't that where the field is, Dad?
Let's go there!
What happened?!
This time it was birds.
Yes, we hadn't thought of birds flying down from above.
We hadn't thought about birds.
I want to go, too!
Wait a bit. Franz must enter first.
All right. Now we can go.
Hooray! You've made it!
Huh?
- Oh! - What is happening?
It's broken! Water seeps in through a crack!
Franz!
- What a disappointment. - Why did it happen?
It's probably because we used fresh wood.
By the time we finished it, it had dried and the wood had split.
Isn't there a way to fix this?
No, even if we plug the cracks, others will appear.
And we put so much effort into making it.
It's unfortunate.
- What's that, Anna? - They're seeds. Wheat, corn and melon.
- What? - You still have some left?
Yes. I kept them, fearing the worst.
I will not give up, even if we fail again and again.
But even if you have seeds, how will you keep the birds from coming?
Everything will be fine. I've thought of a good way to prevent that.
Flone and Jack, you'll have to help me.
What shall we do?
I want both of you to go to the beach and collect sea shells.
What kind of shells? You know that there are many.
I want ones that are big and bright.
There are some that shine like a rainbow, right?
Oh, those?!
When we've collected them, we'll make a small hole in every shell.
Then we can pull a line through it.
- Yes. Let's go. - Yes.
You can't make a necklace with these shells.
I wonder what Mom wants to do with them.
- This is great, Anna! - This time, everything will be fine.
Yes.
Dad, we mustn't be discouraged, either. Let's build another canoe.
Yes.
Yes, we should use the hardwood that we used when making the plow and the paddles.
You mean ironwood? It's very hard.
It will be difficult to hole out.
Mom and the others are working so hard. I want to do the same.
Okay, let's do it.
So Dad and Franz began to make an other canoe.
But this time, they put the wood out to dry.
The ironwood was so hard, it was difficult to cut it with an ax.
First, oil was rubbed into the wood.
Then they set fire to it and dug out the charred parts with a chisel.
Only a few centimeters at a time.
But they kept going, little by little,
and patiently continued to work until they were exhausted.
Jack and Franz take the boat to go fishing in the sea.
It's my turn to keep watch.
Next time: Rescue Mercre!
Please look forward to it!
