"Why won't grown-ups ever believe what we say?" A classic children's tale of courage, friendship, and justice that cultivates critical thinking and the courage to speak up! Kinzen Hall is the city's most renowned pastry shop--everyone considers it a great blessing to taste their confections. When Kouichi and A-Ming visit to buy sweets, they're mistakenly accused of breaking the shop window. No matter how they explain, the staff refuse to believe them, sparking a battle between children and adults... Kouichi devises a revenge plan to steal the chocolate castle, but a leak means they end up with a fake one--mission failed. Meanwhile, A-ming publishes an account of their unfair treatment in the school newspaper, sparking a boycott of Kinseido by local elementary students. Ultimately, the owner offers a sincere apology, bringing the entire incident to a satisfying conclusion.
