While traveling the wilderness, Mizuho asks Yamabiko how he became a dog. Yamabiko then relates how, 5000 years ago, he wandered different worlds all alone, until meeting a girl to whom he gradually opened his heart. But their happiness was short-lived.
It happened one night
when there was a new moon.
.كانت ليلة مقمرة
Es war in einer Neumondnacht …
Sucedió una noche
cuando había luna nueva.
Et une nuit de nouvelle lune…
Aconteceu em noite de lua nova.
