The Secret of the Cave
We were looking for a cave to live in,
instead of the tree house, which was taking in water.
And I finally found it!
How did you to find it, Flone?
- I followed John here. - What? So John is in here?
Well, I'm not entirely sure.
John!
What is that noise?
Flone, hold the torch.
Bats! Run!
It looks like they're all gone.
Dad, let's go inside the cave. I'm curious to see how it looks inside.
Wait. We don't know if any other animals, in addition to the bats, live in this cave.
I and Franz will take a look inside.
You will have to wait here with Mom and Jack.
Franz, let's go.
- Dear, be careful. - Don't worry.
Ah, it seems to be very big.
- Flone, don't go inside. - Okay.
- Dad, can we come in now? - Yes, you can come now.
- Hooray! - Flone, wait!
If you go ahead on your own, we'll be in trouble.
Oh, I see.
Jack, come with me. Give me your hand.
I hope there is nothing dangerouse in there.
Mom, I'm beginning to think you're a coward.
Dad has a rifle, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
- I'm not at all afraid. - Oh, you two...
Dear, is it safe?
Yes, it seems that there's no danger.
Hey, look, the ceiling is like the dome of a church.
Huh?
Eh? There's a hole.
Flone, don't wander off on your own.
It seems that there's a cave inside the other one. This is fun.
This is like a small room.
- Dad, there's another one here. - How interesting!
Here's one more!
If this continues, everyone will have their own room.
Apparently, Flone has already decided to come and live in this cave.
Well, a person can live in this cave without problems. What do you think, Anna?
Somehow, I find it scary, but we won't have to worry about the rain here.
If you light a fire, it won't be so dark.
Right, Dad?
Yes, and the ceiling is high, so I think there will be enough oxygen.
I think we should live here during the rainy season.
Yes, let's do that.
Hey, John!
What's this?
- What is it, Flone? - John had this with him.
Let me see it.
Huh?
- This looks like a piece of pottery. - Really?
Wait just a moment.
What's is she doing?
John.
Come to think of it, Flone said that she followed John when she found the cave.
Why did she suddenly decide to follow John?
- Dad, look at this. - What is this?
- It's a tea cup, isn't it? - It fits perfectly.
- Just as I thought. - Where did you find it?
I was so glad to have found the cave that I forgot to tell you.
John brought it home.
I thought it was strange to have found a cup on an uninhabited island.
Does this mean that someone else lives on the island?
That's impossible. I can't believe that there are other people who live here.
If there were, we'd have already met them.
I'm sure there aren't any here anymore.
There are no signs of recent use.
You're right. This cup hasn't been used for at least half a year.
Flone, do you know where John went when he found it?
Yes, I do.
Let's go.
Ah!
What is it?
Franz! What is happening?
Franz, give me the torch.
Th-that's...
- Aaah! - Mom!
- It looks like he died while lying here. - Probably.
To die in this place, all alone...
It's so sad...
What kind of person do you think he could have been?
From the size of the pelvis, I can see that it was a man.
He had perfectly healthy teeth, so he couldn't have been very old.
Huh? I wonder what this could be?
Diary
Oh, could this be a diary?
Some parts are illegible, but I will try to read it.
It seems that his name was Eric Bates.
This diary was written in English.
Perhaps he was British or American.
"20 December... is it?"
"It will be Christmas soon, and this thought makes me sad."
- Oh, Christmas... - That's about the time of our shipwreck.
"However, I'm not even sure if it's the 20 December today."
"Unfortunately, I don't remember much."
"I just know that on the 19th, our ship went aground on a rock during a storm."
"Everyone got in the lifeboats, but we were all tossed into the waves."
"When I regained consciousness, I was on the beach."
Evidently there are frequent storms during that period.
"There was some baggage I didn't recognize that had washed up alongside me."
"There were no signs of people anywhere."
"Neither living nor dead."
He was completely alone.
"Speaking of living things,"
"a couple of goats who had been on the ship,"
"who had been miraculously carried by the waves to the beach,"
"were always hovering around me."
"I guess they wanted to be with a human."
"Perhaps these beasts will be my only companions from now on."
Perhaps he's talking about our goats?
It might be the female goat.
So there must be a male goat on the island.
Of course. If not, the kid couldn't have been born.
But why haven't we seen that goat?
It's likely that the male doesn't know that the mother goat and kid are living with us.
Or maybe it's already dead.
But if the goat mentioned is ours,
it means that this man couldn't have died that long ago.
Two years... at most, he should have died three or four years ago.
I'll continue to read.
I'll skip the middle, and read what he wrote at the end.
"On March 8..." "Is it sunny or is it cloudy?"
"I don't know which it is, in here."
The writing is difficult to read. Perhaps he was very weak?
"I think I still have a fever."
Surely he was sick.
Let's see, I can't read more than one or two lines more.
I'll read this. "I haven't eaten anything all day."
"I don't have any food left,"
"and I don't have the strength to go find any."
What disease could he have had?
Probably malaria or some other tropical disease.
After that, there are only a few incoherent scribbles.
How he must have suffered...
I wonder if this will happen to us in the end...
- Franz! - How can you say that, Franz?!
- But I... - Franz!
The man was completely alone, and that is why he died.
Because when he got sick, he had no one who could care for him.
That's right, Franz. We are five and we're a very close family.
- We can always help each other. - That right.
So far, we have helped each other on many occasions.
And we will continue to do so.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
Seeing the poor man in this state, it's no wonder you got discouraged.
We must give him a decent burial.
Jack, put flowers on the captain's grave, too.
Okay.
- Is this okay? - Yes, of course.
Captain, please talk to Mr. Bates.
I brought them.
I don't think the kid goat can remember Mr. Bates.
Well, now that we are all here, we can all pray for Mr. Bates.
You can pray, too.
Perhaps they understand that this is the tomb of Eric Bates.
I have an idea! Why don't we give the goats the name of Eric Bates?
The mother goat will be called Eric, and the kid goat, Bates.
It's a nice thought. I'm sure that Eric Bates would appreciate it.
But Eric is a male name. To call a female goat that would be strange.
That's not very important.
A friend from my school in Bern named his cat, a male, Anneliese!
- Ah? The rain is falling again. - Let's go home right away!
Come with me, Bates.
Okay, you come, too, Eric.
Dear Eric, we will visit you occasionally from now on.
Then you won't feel so alone.
When the weather cleared, we began the move.
Since we'll go back to living in the tree house after the rainy season,
we'll only bring the bare essentials,
but we have a lot of luggage.
I'm exhausted, I can't take it anymore!
Come on, make an effort. It's just a little further.
If you're going to dillydally here...
It's starting to rain.
Oh, really...
After going back and forth a few times, we were finally finished with the move.
But I'm dead tired.
We'll be sheltered from the rain in here.
- Hey, it can rain all it wants now! - Rain all it wants!
I wonder if the house can take it?
Eh?
Oh my!
- What's going on? - Bats.
- They're not coming back inside. - That's our fault.
I'm sorry to take the place where they have lived from them.
I'm sorry, too, but they had to hand it over to us.
The bats will have to stay somewhere else.
You're right. We have no other place to go to.
I feel sorry for them.
There are so many. It would be unpleasant to live with them.
It can't be helped.
Forgive us, bats.
Good luck, bats!
Well, shall we go to sleep?
Yes. Jack worked so hard today. He must be tired.
This is the first night we spend in our new home.
- Hey, where will we sleep? - Let me think...
What do you think about all of us sleeping in one of the smaller rooms?
- Dad, can I ask a favor? - What is it?
I would like to sleep in a small room by myself.
That would be great!
Aren't you afraid to sleep in a completely dark place?
Not at all, Mom. Is it okay, Dad?
Okay, you can try sleeping alone tonight.
Yay!
Well, have you decided where you want to sleep?
- Yes, in the first cave. - Then, I will...
- Why don't you sleep in Bates's room? - What? Bates's room?
But...
- Are you afraid, Franz? - Afraid? I'm not afraid of anything.
That was the best room of all. That's why Mr. Bates lived there.
- Then it's decided. - I don't agree.
I think we should leave Mr. Bates's room as we found it.
- I think that's a good idea, too. - I agree.
You say that because you're scared.
You're wrong!
- That's not it! - Huh? You're lying!
- And I? - You sleep with us, Jack.
- I want to sleep alone, too. - That's impossible, Jack.
Aren't you afraid of being alone in the dark?
- I'm not afraid! - Oh?!
- Okay, then where do you want to sleep? - Dear...
- Jack, choose the place you prefer. - Yes!
- What is it, Jack? - I'm afraid, after all.
It's because you're still very small. It's as expected.
Yes, I am still very small.
Well, let's prepare everything.
It's so quiet. I think I'll sleep well here.
Huh?
What is that?
Oh, a bat! Ah!
Don't you know all the others left? Why didn't you leave with them?
Please calm down, Mr. Bat. I'm not going to attack you.
How cute.
You're so small.
Okay. You can sleep together with me today.
You can stay in my room.
I found a cute roommate.
Good night, Mr. Bat.
And so began our new life in the cave.
At the back of my room, there is another cave.
Okay! I'm going to explore it by myself!
Next time: Spirits Appear!
Please look forward to it!
