The town of Sakaiminato in the Tottori prefecture. Quietly, a strange series of events has begin. Night after night a strange monk appears to pose riddles, and those who can't answer are turned into bronze statues. Not knowing this, Cotton Cloth, Ratman, Child's-cry Old Man, the Plastered Wall, and Cat-girl are turned into bronze statues, one after another. In the end, even Kitaro is transformed. Just when it seems the Sand-throwing Hag will be struck down too, the monk stops, calling the Sand-throwing Hag a princess. Having narrowly avoided danger, the Sand-throwing Hag along with Daddy Eyeball and Mana head deep into the mountains seeking out help from the crow tengu!
A centipede has a hundred legs, not eight!
!أم أربعة وأربعين لديها مئة رجل وليس ثمانية
Ein Hundertfüßler hat
hundert Beine, nicht acht …
¡No tiene ocho patas, tiene cien!
Le zampe di una scolopendra
 non sono otto, ma cento!
Uma centopeia tem cem pernas, não oito!
У многоножки сто ног, а не восемь!
