is selling happiness pandas, he thinks certain people could really use some. In fact he has something else for sale... that he might offer.
wonders what that "something else" is.
holds up a panda. He is definitely not selling that something else to Japan. Unless of course Japan could keep it a secret.
can definitely keep a secret. And now he's very curious.
is not sure. He rocks the panda as if it were a baby. He might consider it if Japan can prove to him that he is trust worthy.
frowns. Whatever he needs to do to prove it, he will do it.. maybe.
will tell Japan all he has to do is buy one of his pandas then he will let him buy that other special item... possibly.
sighs. He'll buy a panda if it's a reasonable price.
wonders if 19.99 in USD sounds all right to Japan.
isn't sure... ehhhh...
is not losing anything. Japan will just have to live the rest of his life with the overwhelming curiosity of what that other item could--
--have been.
will probably forget about it tomorrow, actually. He's old. His memory isn't what it used to be.
did not know Japan was growing senile. He wonders if Japan would like to be put in a retirement community.
is fine living where he is on his own. And not growing senile. He's still got another 1,000 years. Just ask China.
does not think it wise to ask such things of the person in charge of him. In any case he wants to know if Japan is buying or not. He had--
many other customers to attend to. And yes, they are quite invisible.
