In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 125 Raising Tadpoles

In the kindergarten, Ah Dai caught a tadpole from somewhere and brought it into the classroom, attracting the attention of the group of city kids.

"Wow, so cute!"

"So cute, so cute!"

"Lend it to me, don't block my view."

"Wow~"

"Oh, little tadpoles." After Xiaoxin and Mingxu came in, they saw a group of people gathered together. Xiaoxin's desire to join in the fun suddenly arose, and he instantly ran through the crowd and shouted. He had seen this thing at Grandpa Akita's house.

"No, Xiaoxin, these are tadpoles." Teacher Yoshinaga was also standing behind a group of children watching. When he heard Xiaoxin's words, he corrected him. Mingxu shook his head. He was indeed a city child who made such a fuss when he saw tadpoles.

"How does it taste?" Xiao Xin couldn't help but ask while looking at the tadpole. Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Xin. Mingxu didn't expect that this boy would think about this in his mind.

"This is not edible." Mingxu grabbed Xiaoxin's hand that was reaching out to the tadpole.

"Then what can it be used for?" Xiao Xin asked again when Mingxu held his hand.

"What? Doing nothing..." Teacher Yoshinaga was at a loss for words. It seemed that this thing really could not be done. Frogs could eat mosquitoes and tadpoles, but it was useless, right?

"It's just a tadpole, and you're making such a fuss about it. It's unbearable." Fengjian stood on the edge of the crowd, looking at the children watching the tadpoles with disdain.

"Wow~" everyone's exclamations reached his ears again.

"It's just a tadpole..." Fengjian was a little unsteady, but still insisted.

"Xiao Xin, you can't do this!" Nini's voice came again. Fengjian could no longer stand it, turned around and ran towards the tadpole.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Feng Jian shouted as he pushed the crowd apart. Ming Xu looked at him and shook his head. He was really suffering for his face.

"Wow, little tadpoles." Fengjian walked through the crowd and looked at the tadpoles and couldn't take his eyes off them.

"It's not a tadpole." Shin-chan reminded Kazama while standing beside him.

"He's so cute!" Fengjian nodded and said again.

“You can’t eat it.”

"... Come on, you don't have to remind me of this problem!" Mingxu was a little confused by Xiaoxin's problem. Why did he want to stuff everything into his mouth?

"Dear children, do you know what the tadpoles will become when they grow up?" Teacher Yoshinaga asked when he saw that everyone's eyes were on the tadpoles.

"Ah? What will it become?"

"What will it become?"

"I do not know."

"I, I know." Xiaoxin immediately raised his hands and shouted.

"Um, are there any other kids who know this?" Teacher Yoshinaga avoided Shin-chan and looked at the other kids. He was really scared of Shin-chan, but no kid spoke. Fengjian was still staring at the tadpole, and Mingxu was too lazy to say anything.

"I, I, I~" Shin-chan continued with his hands raised, and Teacher Yoshinaga avoided Shin-chan again.

"Teacher, can you please not ask such stupid questions?" Fengjian was annoyed by Shin-chan's constant yelling, which was really delaying his tadpole watching.

"Does anyone else know? You can tell the teacher. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong." Teacher Yoshinaga avoided Shinnosuke for the third time. This time Mingxu couldn't stand it anymore. It was a bit too much.

"Teacher, it's okay to let Xiaoxin try." Mingxu looked at Teacher Yoshinaga and said.

"I, I, I..." Xiaoxin continued raising his hands.

"How could someone say something wrong? That's really interesting." Kazama continued to assist.

"Okay! Shin-chan, then you tell it." Teacher Yoshinaga was helpless and had to let Shin-chan try.

"It will turn into a frying pan." Xiaoxin said without hesitation.

“…” Mingxu was speechless. He remembered talking about common sense with Xiaoxin before. Could it be that he remembered it wrong? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little introverted. Could it be that he was not suitable for teaching children?

"Are you crazy? Are you?" Fengjian couldn't help but shout when he heard what Xiaoxin said.

"Wouldn't it be nice if it could be a frying pan?"

"...Does anyone else know this? Nini, can you tell us about it?" Teacher Yoshinaga avoided Shin-chan and asked Nini.

"It will turn into a big tadpole." Nini answered after hesitating.

"No, you are wrong. The tadpole will turn into a frog." Fengjian said, covering his forehead.

"Mr. Kazama, what you said is great. You are so smart. The answer is correct." When Teacher Yoshinaga saw that a child had answered the question, he immediately praised the child. Finally, they got away from the problem.

"Teacher, please don't praise me for this kind of question. I would feel embarrassed. Tadpoles are the children of frogs. This is just common sense. Do you know that?" Fengjian felt very ashamed. It was a shame to be praised for such a question.

"Yes, but whether it is common sense or not, the most important thing is that we observe carefully, right?"

"Observe?" Zhengnan was puzzled.

"Maybe it has something to do with feelings." Xiaoxin said without any hesitation.

"This has nothing to do with feelings." Mingxu stood up and complained speechlessly.

"Then I misunderstood, sorry. Teacher, what is observation?" Xiao Xin asked, raising his hand.

"Observation means watching carefully and investigating seriously. By the way, from today on, let's observe Ah Dai's tadpoles. Then let's write it down in a diary, okay?" After Teacher Yoshinaga said this, Mingxu's eyes looked a little strange. Teacher, you are serious, observing the tadpoles turning into frogs. I hope you will have the courage to catch the frogs then.

"Okay~" The children didn't think too much about it and agreed.

"The one who made the greatest contribution today is A-Dai, who brought the tadpoles here. You are amazing! So good." Teacher Yoshinaga touched A-Dai's head and praised him, and A-Dai's face turned red.

"Damn it, it's so boring that such a small thing can be praised." Fengjian was still struggling.

"Actually, I can do it." Zhengnan clenched his fists.

The next day, when Teacher Yoshinaga came to the classroom, he saw a group of children surrounding Zhengnan.

"Teacher, Mr. Yoshinaga, look, look."

"Ah? You're amazing, Zhengnan... You caught so many tadpoles." Seeing Zhengnan's hands full of tadpoles, Teacher Yoshinaga's voice trembled a little. Mingxu slapped his forehead, and they were still fighting. When he turned around, he saw Fengjian holding a box in his hand, and he was speechless. Are you guys free? If we keep so many frogs, this kindergarten should be renamed the Frog House.

"Wow, there are so many."

“A lot.”

“I went on the tram specially to catch it,” Zhengnan said proudly.

"Amazing! Zhengnan is amazing."

"Great."

"Teacher, please take a look at mine. You will be surprised when you see it." Fengjian also came to the teacher with his box in his arms, opened the box, and revealed a big tadpole inside.

"Ah! Is that really a tadpole too?" Shin-chan asked in confusion.

“So big…”

"What...what is this?" Teacher Yoshinaga's voice trembled even more.

"Even if there are a lot of ordinary tadpoles, they can't compare to this big tadpole of mine!" Fengjian said proudly.

"Wow, a big fat tadpole." Shin-chan shouted as he looked at the tadpole.

"No, Shin-chan, you should say tadpole," Teacher Yoshinaga corrected Shin-chan.

"Little tadpoles, little tadpoles. Gurgle gurgle gurgle~" Shinnosuke said as he reached out to catch the tadpoles. Teacher Yoshinaga and Mingxu hurriedly tried to stop him. One grabbed Shinnosuke and the other tried to protect the glass bottle. Unexpectedly, Teacher Yoshinaga slipped, and the glass bottle fell to the ground. All the tadpoles flew out, and one even got into the teacher's collar.

"Ah!!! It's so itchy, go away, go away!" Teacher Yoshinaga shook his clothes hard and finally got the tadpole out.

"Wow, I'm so envious of you." Xiaoxin said enviously as he looked at the tadpoles jumping on the ground. Mingxu walked forward speechlessly and pulled a few friends to help put the tadpoles into a goldfish tank in the classroom.

"Wow. That's amazing. There must be no other place that has so many tadpoles."

"Why not just build a tadpole amusement park?"

"Ah, in the end I still have to take care of those tadpoles." Teacher Yoshinaga looked at the full tank of tadpoles with some helplessness.

"Teacher Yoshinaga, your class is really lively." Teacher Matsusaka walked over and looked at Tadpole and said.

"Yes, our class seems to be very interested in natural sciences, oh wow~" Teacher Yoshinaga immediately felt like arguing.

"By the way, do you know what that tadpole will turn into?" Teacher Matsusaka teased when she saw this. As a country girl, she knew this creature very well.

"Hate it, Mr. Matsusaka, I still have some common sense, so of course I will turn into a frog." Mr. Yoshinaga said without hesitation.

"No, no, no, are you going to use this one? The question is what kind of frog it is. According to my research, the small ones will probably turn into toads." Teacher Matsusaka continued to explain science.

"Toad?! That means... a toad!!!" Teacher Yoshinaga's face turned green.

"Also, the big ones will turn into bullfrogs, which we generally call edible frogs." Teacher Matsusaka continued.

"Edible frogs..." Teacher Yoshinaga's face turned pale when she heard this. She was most afraid of this thing.

So, as soon as school was over, Teacher Yoshinaga pulled the head teacher together without hesitation and found a body of water to release the tadpoles.

When everyone came over the next day, there were only two goldfish left in the fish tank.

"This is what happened. The teacher released the tadpoles back into the river yesterday, and now the tadpoles are swimming happily in the river. As for animals, they are the happiest when they live in nature." Teacher Yoshinaga began to make excuses.

"It's so boring. I wanted to see the tadpoles turn into frogs. Why, why let them go?" Shin-chan asked the teacher.

"That's because the tadpoles are begging me to put them back."

“Can they speak Mandarin?”

"Of course there is frog language. Croak, croak, croak."

"What do you mean?"

“Dear children of Sunflower, if you see frogs next time, they might be the tadpoles that were once raised here. So please treat them well.” Teacher Yoshinaga did not forget to teach the children about protecting animals.

"Wow, how do you say good morning?"

"Quack gua gua~"

“晚安呢？”

"Quack~"

"Where's the cute Shin-chan?"

“Quack, quack, quack~”

"Puchi~" Mingxu couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Xiao Xu~"

"Don't mind me, just continue, puchi~hahahaha~" Mingxu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. The other children didn't know why and started laughing too. Teacher Yoshinaga shook his head and also laughed. The laughter spread all around.
