Yuta returned to the river.
His grandmother was standing there.

"Oh Yuta. We were looking for you for quite a long time."
She told him gently.
"I can't find my friend... I can't meet him..."
Yuta was almost crying.

"I wonder where your friends are..."
She said as she gave him something.
When he looked closely, he found that it was a small stone statue.
"A bit ago, this statue of a Kappa fell over."
his grandma said.

"Oh!"
Yuta was surprised.
The statue was the very Kappa who was his friend.

His grandma said.
"A long time ago, there were a lot of YOKAI in this village.
It probably was around when your great-grandfather was a child."
