Krash leads Chiko to the place full of magic grass. Krash claims that eating said grass will make you big and smart. On the way, they see Rosa crying about something. Chiko decides to stop and help her, but Krash wants to get to the magic grass faster. Rosa tells Chico that she has lost her teddy dog, Tusya. Chiko promises her to find the toy, but suddenly Krash steps in and takes him to the magic grass.

The grass is about to bloom soon. Chiko's conscience is tormented, and he leaves to look for the Tusya. He searches for it in various places where Rosa has been, but doesn't find anything. It starts to rain, and Chiko slips and falls into a ravine. This is where he finds Rosa's toy. At sunset, Chiko goes to his house with the found toy. He sees Krash sitting on the bridge and crying. He picked some grass for Chiko, but it's worthless, and will no longer make Chiko big and smart.

Tropes

  • Bee Afraid: Chiko looks into the hive at the apiary trying to look for Tusya, and the bees sting him in the eye.
  • Continuity Nod: In search for Tusya, Chiko visits several locations, which mostly only appeared once before: Swings from “Mountains and Candies”, a river with cherry blossoms from “The Forgotten Tale” and Meadow with reeds and butterflies from “The Path to Decent Society”.
  • The Promise: Chiko gives Rosa a promise that he will find her favorite toy. He fulfills his promise despite a bitten eye, swimming in dirty water and possibly a lost opportunity to become big and smart.
