shellfish fire

Hibari, the father and son, said a lot of things.
"This is a jewel called Fire of Shells. The King's message says that if you take good care of it, it will become as magnificent as you like."
Homoi gently offered the ball and went into the house.

The little rabbit who rescued the baby skylark received in return a jewel called a "shellfish fire" that could become even more magnificent depending on how well it is cared for. Because of this, he began to be respected by others... My father's last words, ``Things like this happen everywhere, and you are the luckiest of all because you understand this well.'' are deeply moving in my heart.

Animals and scenes drawn with carefree brushstrokes. It is fully illustrated with a familiar picture.
