G: Aw, poor thing...
G: Look how dirty you are...
G: It's alright. I know you're a cute little doll...
G: Who threw you away?
G: What should I do? It's too sad just to leave you here like this.
G: Hmmm...
G: I guess I'll just have to take you home and give you a bath.

F: I just got back, Momo.
M: You had to work late tonight, huh?
F: Yep.
F: But look, I brought home one of your favorites, chocolate cakes!
M: Wahh!

M: Amazing!
F: I have something even better than that, though...
F: Look!
F: A new picture book!
F: I came home late because I was busy drawing it.

15)
M: Wow!
M: Is that so?!
M: I'm so happy!
M: Hurry up and read it to me!
M: Hurry, papa!
F: Okay, don't worry, I will. There's no need to rush, though. I'll read it to you nice and slowly while you eat your cakes.
F: I'm going to get some juice.
M: Hurry!
M: I can't wait to read it, papa!
M: Hurry!
F: I know, I know.
F: It's not good for your health to get so excited.

16)
F: It makes papa really happy to see you so excited though, Momo.
F: Your papa isn't that great of an artist, you know...
F: and the stories he writes are a little strange...
M: That's not true! I love the stories you write the best, papa.
M: They make my heart go pitter-patter!
F: I'll read it to you, then...although I'm a bit embarrassed.
M: Waaaah!

M: Oh my!

F: A doll.

F: One night, there was a doll lying on the side of the road.
F: The doll would always sit night after night on the side of the road...
F: Waiting.
F: Isn't anyone going to come pick me up tonight?, she always wondered.
F: But no one ever did.
F: Everyone simply walked by, ignoring her.
F: There were even some people who stomped on her.
F: And some who kicked her.
F: But on this night...
sfx: perari
F: A woman with a gentle heart passed by and picked up the doll.
F: The doll became very happy, and came to love the girl.
F: Then, the doll...

18)
F: killed her...
