It is said that one will worry in vain during the rest of the year if one does not lose weight in April. Now, it is July and Mei Bang, a fat beauty, starts to worry about her weight.

I do not want to see you—fat layer upon layer! I have made up my mind to fast.

Eh… What do I smell ?

Do your branches give out such attractive scent?

Or is it your scent?

Ah, it’s you, bamboo…

It’s so satisfactory to have a bite. Nothing can replace you!!

Let it pass. It’s good to be healthy. No need to lose weight…
