A kid named Maru was born into a family having troubles. When he was born, no one wanted him. So, Maru was sent away to a merchant. Usually, the merchant would accept but he didn't with Maru either.
"This kid is too young. He would need to be at least three years old."
"But we gave birth so we can have money to buy food. Please make us a deal." The mother begged.
"Sorry, but I can't. I would die if I had a kid like that. They would torcher me." said the merchant.
"MAKE US A DEAL OR I'LL"
settle down Mr Gasu I'll need to punish you guys for not listening.
After they got punished they would punish Maru the same way so every time Maru did something he would get hit. But they saw how good and cute he was, so they didn't want to sell him anymore. When he was age 5, the dad decided to teach the kid to hunt.
"Dad, where are we going?" Maru asked.
"I'm gonna teach you how to hunt. By the time you're six, you'll be a natural and we'll have more food." said Gasu.
"You sure love food, dad you always talk about food." Said Maru.
"Of course, I love food. That's what keeps me going and the meat we are going to get is going to give me protein. Hahaha" Said Gasu.
So they would go to the woods and practice archery and he would use a curved knife to slice the fur off of the animal. By the time he turned seven, His dad gave him his very own pony.
"THANKS DAD! But, what is that animal?" Maru asked.
That's when the dad realized Maru needed to go to school, in order to get a proper education.
'We'll get you some schooling.' the dad thought to himself.
