Alpha

We're visiting Sensei's place today.

Sensei

Oh my, did you grow these yourself ?

Alpha

I took a stab at tomatoes;
But they didn't all get very big.

Sensei

Thank you for them.
You holding up well, then ?

Alpha

Yes.
Much better than the last time.
(Nice to see you again...)

Alpha

Oh, that's right...
Didn't you say...
There was a beach over here ?

Ojisan

Jist o'er there, but i'ts mostly under water.

Alpha

Iii'll just go play around in the water.

Ojisan

Hmm ?
Swimsuit ?

Alpha

I don't have one.

Ojisan

Awww, pity.
Be careful; it gets deep pretty fast.

Ojisan

Hm ? Oh, yeah.

Sensei

This place has changed a lot.

Ojisan

Nope.

Ojisan

Alpha

I found something neat!
Look!

Ojisan

My, my, would'ya look at this...

Alpha

It's pretty, isn't it ?
It's the color of sea water...

-pg108-

Ojisan

...
Yeah.
These used to be pretty common, but...
It's been a long time since I've seen one.

Alpha

The beach and the sea-colored bottle...
Today's bounty.
