Takebou is so cute... he's not afraid of stranger too. Just a little boy with spirit and cute attitude. I like his chuuby face😊😊
Well.. I understand the difficulty you faced while trying to translate the words into english. I think you will do it better and better through constant practising. I wish I know japanese language to help you translate the story to make it more "easy" to read. But.. I have no problem to understand your story even though english is not my first language too.
I think I watched a cartoon movie with Kappa character in it long time ago and I thought it is something like froggyman or something. Myths started from reality too I think.
