It happened one night—

The little people who lived in the kitchen finally made up their minds.

“Let’s cross the Sea of Cacao and aim for the legendary ‘Red Bean Island’!”

This time, they didn’t just hollow out a baguette to make their ark… Inside, they packed ham! Cucumber! Lettuce! Cheese!

＼ The Sandwich Voyage Begins!!! ／

The little people set out to sea. (They splashed into the puddle in the sink, sailing toward the far corner of the kitchen.)

The boat drifted along slowly. They tried to go as far as possible before morning—

But then…

“I’m getting hungry…” “Can I nibble just a little bit… from the front?”

“Oh, all right… but just the bow, okay?”

Munch!

The savory ham, the rich cheese! The baguette’s crunch was just perfect for nibbling!

“So yummy!!” “Let’s eat a little from the back too!” “This cucumber is the best!”

Munch munch! Crunch crunch! Chomp!

Before they knew it, the boat was shrinking and shrinking.

And then—

Bobbing and drifting… bobbing and drifting… At last, the bottom of the boat was made of nothing but cheese.

“Hey! That’s the very bottom already!!” “Whoa, we’re sinking! We’re sinkinggg!!”

Plop!
