Maria can't sleep What is bothering her
5687 sheep 5688 sheep
5689 sheep 5700 sheep
Ai...l can't sleep
Oh, l have counted 23, 587 sheep, that's a lot
That's right, but l still can't get to sleep
What are sheep?
Ah, Meier, you've never seen sheep before?
That's right
Look, these are sheep
Wow, they're all white and they look like cotton squrrils!
What's cotton squirril?
l'll show you the next time
But why do you have to count sheep to fall asleep?
The English word for them is Sheep and the English word for sleep is Sleep
l think it's probably because they sound almost the same
lt sounds nice l'm going to do the same as you the next time
Goodnight
One cotton squirrl
Two cotton Squirrils
Three cotton Squrrils
Ha...Meier you couldn't sleep last night?
Miss, you don't have to count them
You'll fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow
But l hope l can count to around a hundred before l sleep
No matter, After this, you're going to wish you had sleep
Right, all adults go through that
She's still older than you
What? Just a little
l remember l'm still a little girl
There are times when l can't sleep
l can only sleep when l've counted to 63721 cotton squirrils
Wow, that's a lot!
Meier, you've counted to 63721 cotton squirrils and you still can't sleep
That's right, l remember you just counted to 23587 sheep
You still remember that
Of course l remember
That means l'm older than Maria aren't l?
Meier, you must have someone you like don't you?
You can't sleep because...
You...you're talking about me? No...no...
Ha, you're all red
l got it, Maria you like Oscar!
No way!
Don't deny it
Meier, don't talk nonsense
Tell me the truth
Don't talk about it, Oscar already has a beautiful girlfriend
Her name's Louise
Are you talking about that Louise? You think she's pretty?
l don't want to play anymore, this isn't fun
Oscar, when you play ball how come you're always not concentrating?
lt isn't that, why should this be?
Are you thinking about Maria?
l...it isn't that
What's so great about that girl?
No on e said she was great
Hey, don't leave don't take those balls away
All right, l'm going to think of a way to help you forget Maria
Looks like Oscar likes Maria
ls that so?
This is infuriating, why are you so slow?
Of course l can't compare with you, l've only counted 6 cotton squirrils,
Disgusting, you were eavesdropping on us
l heard it from the window l almost laughed
Actually, you fell asleep after you counted 3
Don't laugh at me, when l'm grown up, l will meet a great love
You can't have a one sided relationship, do you know that?
Why are you laughing at me again? Everytime l say something you have to retaliate
Oh no...
Wh, what's the matter? what's that noise?
Oh no...
Don't you move if you do, he will find out
Hey, Oscar, forget it
l told you not to look for it what's losing one or two balls?
l have more here
l know, let's look for it again
How dangerous
Right, a chance!
Peter, do you have a pencil?
Wait, let me see, ah, l do
Help me hold it
Hey, what are you writing? Tomorrow at 6
l'll be waiting for you under the white forest, Maria
lf they meet earlier they won't be seen
But will Oscar pick this ball?
Of course we'll give it to him
lf Louise picks it up what shall we do?
l don't think Louise will come looking for a missing ball
Hey, come and take the ball you lost
l'm not going to
ls that so?
Meier, you said something good is going to happen, what is it?
That is... l can't tell you yet
Then when is it going to happen?
Tomorrow or the day after perhaps
But l don't know about it yet
What can it be?
Meier, that ball is gone!
Then it must be tomorrow
Ah? The ball's gone what does that mean?
Why is this mad dog barking non-stop? How am l going to practice the piano?
What? You're telling me to pick up the ball?
Hmmp, sorry l don't want that ball
Hmmp, looks like something is written on the ball, let me see
Tomorrow at 6 under the white gondola in the forest
Maria?
What's going on? Meier, tell me
What's going to happen under the white gondola in the forest?
You'll be so happy tomorrow am l right? Peter?
That's right, from tomorrow you'll be able to sleep
You're lying to me, l'm going to ignore you
Hey, it's Oscar he must be here to see you
Go out and take a look
Ah, he has no reason to come here
lt must be
Don't tell me he's so anxious that he wants to see her immediately?
Of course, Oscar really likes Maria
Don't say it again, the matter regarding Oscar is none of my business
l know, it has to work
Don't you think you are being nosey?
But Maria and Oscar like each other
Although it's true but that's between the two of them
They don't need you to help them fix a meeting
Why? We're helping them
l know you have good intentions
But whether this matter is good for them is still a problem
There must be a benefit to this
Why can't l see anyone?
Who are you waiting for?
Ah, Miss Louise?
You must be so disappointed that you didn't get to see Oscar
Ah, you're saying l'm waiting for Oscar
Don't pretend, do you want me to force you to admit it?
Force?
Look
Ah...Meier's writing
Hmmp, nothing to say right?
You look gentle, actually, it's a false front let me tell you
You shameless brat
Don't you go near Oscar every again
lf Oscar knew you did something like that he would hate you
lt's all our fault
l'm sorry Maria please don't cry
l didn't think that Louise would pick up that ball
This isn't Meier's wrong
This weeps is not stop only
What Leguman said was true
We can't tell Louise the truth either
Hey hey, look
lt's Fanny Sensei
That's right What is she doing here?
Are you the mistress here?? l have something to say to your master
Please tell him to come out
Oscar is not at home he's gone out
lt doesn't matter, the mistress of the house then
Ah, what's the matter?
Please tell him to stay away from our Miss
Ah, Oscar?
That's right, he's been at our door the whole day
Walking up and down it's bothering us
Lady...
Louise, you have guests
My lady, don't you believe what that person said
What do you mean by that?
You said that Oscar was trying to seduce Maria?
l say it's the opposite
Look, this is proof
Ah?
This wasn't written by our Miss
Actually it's easy to change one's handwriting
Even the name's spelt wrongly, no reason why she would misspell her own name
Ah, if you try to split us up again
Miss's voice
l won't forgive you
All right l'll be counting on you then
Ah, Louise...
She should know that the name was spelt wrongly
Why didn't she say anything?
This is the ball that Mother was talking about
Oscar, you should know who wrote this don't you?
Writing?
Look
Why are you such a dog?
These words aren't written by any human being, that's right
What? Don't tell me it's aliens again
Look, this isn't made of ink it's made of dust and oil
Do you think normal people would do that?
Some people will do that
That's right, when we were playing ball didn't we hear a little scream?
That was a mistake, l've forgotten about it
lt isn't that l did hear something
The person who made the sound then is the one who wrote this
And it seems that this person knows about me and Maria
Hey, Leguman what are we going to do?
Things are getting more and more complicated
l think the best way out of this is to get Oscar to comfort Maria
But we can't go ask Oscar
Since things have turned out this way you cannot see Maria for the time being
He's right you know
How can we do that?
lt's not right to do this to Maria
Aren't l right, cotton Squirril
Hey, Meier, Leguman has already told us everything
ls that right?
Do the both of you want to make a fool out of me
lt isn't that We have thought of a good plan
A good plan? That means we're going to
Explain ourselves to Oscar
And tell him to go see Maria
lf we could do that, that would be great but...
Now, there is only on way to resolve this thing
lsn't that so, B-chan
That's right
What does Kotori-chan mean by plan?
He's here
Sorry to have kept you waiting Look at this, isn't it interesting?
Eh? What's this? lt's Maria
She gave this to me
Now to us, it's going to come in handy
Kotori-chan, where are you taking me?
lt's all because Bubu cannot differentiate between directions
That's how we found so many useful objects
What's this thing?
lnside here is a telephone
Are you telling me this telephone is the same as the one Maria's got in her house?
Yes, we can use this telephone to talk to someone without seeing that person
You can talk through it, isn't that right?
But, l don't know how to use it
No problem l wanted to give Maria a big surprise
l've already researched how it can be used
All right, the beginning is the hardest part
First of all l want everyone to bring it down
Ah?
lt's really heavy
Peter, why don't you use more strength?
Ah, me?
Get ready when l call 1 ,2, everyone give it your all!
Got it!
Yes sir! Get ready
Let's begin, 1 ,2
Heeeya! Use more strength!
Use more strength
Heeeya!
Go for it, Peter!
Heee yah! Pull!!!
Peter, it's done
Put this thing into the telephone first
B-chan and l will dial the number
Peter, could you check the phone
Number from the book there?
Ah, me again?
For Maria, please bear with it?
could you please? Peter?
Of course...
The first number is a 5
Dial a 5
All right, it's begun, B-chan
All right
All right, get ready 1 ,2,3,4,5
All right, let go
then, dial a 0
Get ready B-chan
1 ,2,3,4,5 6,7,8,9,0
Let go, B-chan
Phew, this is tiring
Next one
lt's another 0
Another 0?
Be careful
lt's beginning
1 ,2,3,4,5 6,7,8,0
Let go, B-chan
All right, the next number
ls another 0
Phew...l give up
Don't give up, you call yourself a man?
Oscar, it's for you
Who's on the phone?
She didn't say, it's a girl
Hello, are you Oscar?
l wanted to tell you that the words on that ball
Were written by me
l can't tell you my name right now, because...
Does Maria know about you?
l'm sorry, don't ask me again l hope you promise me one thing
The words on that ball has caused Maria a lot of hurt, that's why
l hope you'd go comfort her
l got it
Thank you, l'll meet you some day Goodbye
Hello, hello...ah?
So l did hear that voice at the courts that day
Who called?
The person who wrote on the ball
Who is that person?
l don't know
What? You called Oscar?
Right, l believe Oscar likes you
That's why, please don't give up
Thank you, Meier
But l don't need you to worry about me
Hey, it's Oscar
Let's meet under the white gondola in the forest at 6, Oscar
Good morning
Good morning, Oscar
Do you know the girl who wrote the words on the ball?
Err...
NO matter, because she said sooner or later, we would meet
When we do meet l would like to tell her...
Tell her what?
Tell her thank you
She was worried about you she said you were depressed
Thank you, Meier
Maria looks very happy
From today, she will be able to sleep well
Ha, then what about you?
