It's morning, and Hiroshi is late for school. He doesn't wake up because he's late, he wakes up because of a dog bite. He's not his mother, he says, and the dog is the only person who's ever bitten him. He says he still hates the dog, even though he hasn't had a single bite in his life. Hiroshi says he'll beat the dog if he has to, but he'd better get used to it before he does.
