Sadakichi who was an underservant in a sake brewery, was a lazy fellow. He was always hiding in a big pot so that he did not have to work. One day, however, he was kidnapped while dozing in the pot. Then he was sold to a very scary, cruel old woman. "Get on with your work!" the old woman would shout with a horrifying expression on her face. Now, what could poor Sadakichi do?
This enjoyable story, which has a very good tempo, is just like listening to a short comic story. It is also interesting because Tezuka Osamu uses a completely different style of drawing here.
