Guruko Gets Sick

Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath.

Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat.

When looking at Guruko, Cha Cha couldn’t help but feel sad, though he always smiled so that Guruko would feel a little better.

He remembered when he was younger and sick himself. He remembered the gentle eyes of his mother, full of love and compassion, and he could feel that, for his mother, what she saw through her eyes was the most treasured thing in the whole universe.

He wondered if Guruko could feel the same when he looked at her.

Thankfully, Guruko—who always respected the principles of the 7 Shapes—soon recovered!

And Cha Cha was the happiest platypus ever!
