The four people, who are Tarou, Hachigorou, Youske, Syouichi, was talking.

Tarou: "Everyone have scared things. Everyone bury one's umbilical cord in the ground and what first passed over there become the one's scared thing. Well, Hachigorou , what are you scared of?"

Hachigorou: "I am scared of worms."

Tarou: "That means a worm first passed over the ground in which your umbilical cord was buried. Yousuke, what are you scared of?"

Yousuke: "I am scared of mole crickets. They come out to claw through litters and attach thing like helmet on their heads. I hate them. Tarou, how about you?"

Tarou: "Me? I dislike centipede. If I had many legs like that, what should I do? I don't know how much it take a cost to buy shoes. I only don't want to be centipede. Syouichi, you have remained silent for quite a while, what is your scared thing?"

Syouichi: "Scared things? I don't have that. Human are king of animals. Human can't have scared things. I don't have scared things and hates."

Tarou: "You are an aggravating guy because you aren't scared of anything. I think you have something of scared. How about snake?"

Syouichi: "Snake? Who is afraid of snakes? I sleep with it winding my head when I have a headache. I feel very good because it constricts my head nicely."

Tarou: "Then, how about lizard or gecko?"

Syouichi: "Lizard? Gecko? I ate them with vinegar. I ate even ants with salt but it is a little hard because of their a bit moving."

Tarou: "You are really an aggravating guy because you don't fear anything. Well, your scared thing may not be necessary animals or insects, so do you have something scared?"

Syouichi: "Then, I have. I am scared of sweet buns."

Tarou: "What! Sweet buns! Are they foods sold in stores?"

Syouichi: "Yes, I am actually a spineless wimp. I fear sweet buns which everybody like. When I only see them, my heart began to shiver. If I stay with them for a while, I may die. So I keep away from the stores which sell them. I have a hard time recently because the stores are increasing. Phew, I can't stand anymore because of recalling them. Can I lie?"

Syouichi fell to sleep. All that time, other three people bought Syouichi many sweet buns as a surprise and put them next to his pillow.

Other three people: "If he die in surprise, it isn't due to our but sweet buns."

Tarou: "I hear something. He may rise. Let's see delicately through the gap in the door."

Hachigorou: "Oh, my God! He is eating them in tears. He told a lie as he is scared of sweet buns, didn't he?"

Other three people: "Hey, Syouichi. You told us a lie as you are scared of sweet buns! What a nice friend you are! What do you fear actually?"

Syouichi: "Sorry, I am labored now because sweet buns lodge in my throat. I am really scared of a cup of green tea."
