Written in Japanese, this is a derivative work of A Pig, a Horse, and a Catfish, originally published in English. In this fable, the readers will meet a young couple who change their lifestyle from the hunting and gathering one to the horticultural, pastoral, and agrarian one for reasons of their own, much to the exasperation of wild animals who are frustrated by the excess of mankind. The couple's two sons are also affected by the choices made by their parents. The story provides for a reflection on making lifestyle choices and when and why exceptions might occur.(See PDF file submitted October 4th onward for furigana.

A bilingual edition may be obtained in print or ordered on-line at Espresso Book Machine locations.
