Dongwa quotes from Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat

[Dongwa is not pleased that he gave up his snack for their grandparents' anniversary special]

Sagwa

What a disaster...

Dongwa

Yeah, all that wasted shrimp.

Baba

[to Dongwa] YOU ARE LETTING YOUR SISTER DO YOUR WORK!?

Dongwa

I ya...! I err...!

Baba

[turning to Sagwa] AND YOU! YOU ARE HELPING YOUR BROTHER TO DECEIVE ME! THAT IS NOT LIKE YOU!

[Baba turns back to both Dongwa and Sagwa and chews them out for Sagwa helping her brother to deceive him and Dongwa making his sister Sagwa do his work.]

Baba

[then to both the kittens --Dongwa and Sagwa] WHAT DO YOU TWO HAVE TO SAY TO YOURSELVES?

[Dongwa and Sagwa are shocked into silence. And they do not have an answer at the moment. Baba is not pleased.]

Baba

[to Dongwa] WELL DONGWA? UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS, YOU ARE BOTH CONFINED TO YOUR QUARTERS (FOR A WEEK)!

[Baba Miao asks Dongwa and Sagwa what they both say for themselves. And when they --Dongwa and Sagwa-- do not have an answer, he --Baba Miao-- tells both of them that they are confined to their quarters for a week until one of them comes up with an explanation for this. Dongwa tries to argue back.]

Dongwa

But Baba...! Tomorrow is the...!

Baba

AND THAT IS FINAL! (NOW BACK TO YOUR SCROLLS AND NO MORE MAKING SAGWA DO IT!)

[By the saying of Baba, Dongwa is confined to his quarters for a week. And when Baba says, "AND THAT IS FINAL!", he threatens to take away the outside privileges on both his and Sagwa's and confine them both to their quarters for a year, a decade, a century, or a millennium. In the spite of that, Dongwa complies and resumes back to his Chinese writing on his scrolls.]

[The scene takes place in the attic. Sagwa and Dongwa are setting up an old kite. The kite --which the viewers see-- is depicted as a dragonfly.]

Sheegwa

I really wish that Baba would take us to that treasure hunt. Should we ask again?

Dongwa

Not now. We are fixing this old kite. You want to watch us fly it?

[Sheegwa gets jealous because she never gets to spend time with her siblings --Dongwa and Sagwa-- or any of the big Siamese cat children. And she --Sheegwa-- says...!]

Sheegwa

[to Dongwa and Sheegwa] I always have to watch! Why can I not hold the string?

Sagwa

[tauntingly] You are too little, silly!

[Sagwa pats Sheegwa on the head. Then she and Dongwa both laugh and run away with the kite. This was obviously not what Sheegwa wanted to hear. But Dongwa and Sagwa prove to Sheegwa that the kite is not a game. And if Sheegwa holds the string and messes up the kite, they --Dongwa and Sagwa-- might have to start all over again. That is why they --Sagwa and Dongwa-- do not want Sheegwa to use the string. Sheegwa sulks sadly and says...!]

Sheegwa

That is not true! I am not a baby anymore!

[Sagwa and Dongwa --Sheegwa's older siblings-- try their best to ignore her. And they refuse to find a place for Sheegwa in their game. That is, regarding with the kite. Mama Miao --not knowing that Dongwa and Sagwa are refusing to let Sheegwa join their "games"-- calls Sheegwa down from the attic. And she says...!]

Mama Miao

[from offscreen] Sheegwa? Time for your nap!

[Mama Miao is unaware that Dongwa and Sagwa are not letting Sheegwa --their little sister-- tag along with their activities and finding a place for her in their games. That is, after she --Mama Miao-- calls Sheegwa down from the attic for her nap. And she --Mama Miao-- does no further investigation about Dongwa and Sagwa always excluding Sheegwa. Sheegwa --still upset and jealous because her older siblings never include her-- obeys this from Mama Miao. But she --jealously-- says to herself...!]

Sheegwa

I can't wait to grow up!

[Sheegwa lets out a sigh after saying this.]

Baba

[takes a piece of grass] It's a duck call. [quacks]

Dongwa

Oh, sure Baba. Like a duck is ever going to think that's real.

[A real duck shows up, with Dongwa getting startled and hanging onto Sagwa]

[In the middle of Mama Miao's story, the scene cuts back to Sagwa, Dongwa, Sheegwa, and Mama Miao. And Sagwa is seen hugging Mama Miao and snuggling on her --Mama Miao's-- back.]

Sagwa

[snuggling on her mother's back] What happened to Ming Miao?

Mama Miao

That is a very interesting question. I suppose that he could have remained at the emperor's palace where he could have ruled China. Couldn't he?

Mama Miao

And he would've used his art to control the people.

Sheegwa

Mm-mmm.

Dongwa

No way! Ming Miao never would've used his art for evil! He never would have done that!

Mama Miao

My goodness, Dongwa. You have been paying attention. And yes, you are right. Ming Miao would have never used his art for evil.

Dongwa

Come on! Help me out. There must be something we all have to do.

[Sheegwa jumps on to Dongwa and lands on his belly and gets in his face and she laughs. Dongwa laughs because Sheegwa --on his belly-- tickles him.]

Sheegwa

[thinks] Hmmm?

[Then she gets into Dongwa's face.]

Sheegwa

A story.

Dongwa

Oh no.

[Sheegwa laughs and jumps up and down on Dongwa's belly like a trampoline. Then she moves in closer and closer to Dongwa's nose level --begging him to tell her a story-- making him --Dongwa-- smell her --Sheegwa's-- nose. That is, as she --Sheegwa-- scents the smell --from her nostrils-- into his --Dongwa's-- nose.]

Sheegwa

A story, a story! That is what Mama always does when I am...! [sneezes] ...sick. Please?

[Sheegwa kisses her brother on the belly.]

Sheegwa

Find them all? But there is a rabbit, and a pig, and an ox, and a dog...! That's a lot!

[Nai-Nai assigns the teams.]

[It is a 2 vs. 2 game. The first team is Sagwa and Fufu. The second one is Dongwa and Sheegwa. So, it becomes Sagwa and Fufu vs. Dongwa and Sheegwa.]

Dongwa

Oh great!

[Sheegwa sticks out her tongue at Dongwa because she is his partner. She taunts him --by sticking her tongue out and blowing a raspberry-- because he --Dongwa-- is stuck with her.]

Dongwa

Oh boy! Cha Siu! It is great having another boy around here! For once, I am never again being outnumbered by girls!

[As Dongwa says this, he wishes that Sagwa and Sheegwa would disappear. That is, if he any has boy cats --or dogs-- part of his family at any capacity. When Dongwa says this, Sagwa and Sheegwa look at Dongwa angrily.]
