An old man loved a swallow, but when it eats his wifes glue, she cuts out its tongue.  He goes deep into the mountains to find her... A packdriver buys a good horse in town, and then some mackeral to give to the god of horses. Shinkichi works at a soy sauce shop, but since he's so careless everyone treats him like a child.
It was just like how the 
people worked in the shop.
Se veían como si fueran los empleados 
que trabajan en la tienda.
Parecían empleados de la tienda.
Era exatamente da mesma forma que
 as pessoas trabalhavam na loja.
