But once we work it out, the problem is solved!

If it doesn't work out, would it lead to a fight?

We will never fight to resolve our problems!

Hey, once I hand them their homework tomorrow,

you don't have to wear my shoes anymore!

Go to sleep!

I want to keep you company.

Brother, where are you going so early?

I have to take the homework to Beng Soon.

Didn't they say 11am?

I want to be early and wait for them.

But it's only 6.30am.

Really? It didn't seem that early.

Kun! Kun! Finally finished it!

Too bad they asked you to deliver it to them.

And that stupid principal,

he has to punish you so early in the morning.

Enough!

Stop it!

Hey! You are wearing slippers?

The principal will make you sweep Singapore!

Brother!

Take the shoes!

Don't worry about me!

The principal wants me to tell you,

being late is a bad habit.

To punish you, is to help you kick the habit.

Okay, you go sweep there.

You sweep the basketball court.

You clean the toilets.

And you...

Hey, you hurt your foot?

Okay. You go to the principal's office.

Come in!

Clean this!

These belong to our office.

The principal wants them cleaned.

Do you think Kun will come?

I say he won't come!

Do you think he will give our assessment books

to the peanut seller to use as wrappers?

From his tone of voice yesterday

I sensed he didn't want to do our homework.

He definitely won't come!

I think he won't come too!

He would have showed up otherwise!

He's out to get us for revenge!

Hey!

Here are your assessment books.

At least you kept your promise.

Our shoes...

Continue to do our homework

and you can have the shoes for a year.

We are gathering at the usual place tomorrow.

Join us!

Ask Seow Hay to come along as well!

Pick up the stuff outside!

These belong to the office

and need to be cleaned!

Finished?

Yes, Sir.

So you cleaned all?

Yes, Sir.

I only asked you to clean some!

Huh?

Anyway, good boy.

Let me tell you,

one more time, one more time if you are late,

you are out of my school! Is that clear?

Yes, Sir.

Just now I had a nightmare,

I dreamed that there were

many monsters flying above me,

I cannot breathe!

With everyone's help

we did their homework for them

and in turn have the shoes for one year

plus a pair of shoes for my sister.

With the soccer shoes,

we can play on any terrain.

Look at the way Seow Hay plays!

It's under such conditions

we gain greater hope for our team!

But Seow Fang has mixed feelings about her shoes.

She's happy to receive a new pair of shoes.

But the shoes

will only fit her when she goes to university.

It's all my fault, I need to think of a way.

Hey, you are so greedy!

Speak for yourself!

Is this too much?

But you do look like a pig!

Don't talk nonsense!

Here I am!

What is this?

Bread.

Ah Kun's bread? I love it!

Bread?

Beng Soon is in a good mood today.

He hardly ever smiles so much.

The pair of shoes for my sister is too big,

I want to exchange them.

Everyone at school laughed at her

when she wore them.

It's your fault.

My fault?

Okay, since it's my fault,

let's throw them away!

Beng Soon! Beng Soon!

Beng Soon! Beng Soon!

Please give me back the shoes!

Beng Soon! Beng Soon! Beng Soon!

That's the problem with you guys.

Your sister wanted shoes, and we kindly agreed.

But when they don't fit, it becomes our problem.

Not even a word of thanks.

You guys are too much!

Okay. Okay. It's fine even if they're too big.

Beng Soon, please return the shoes to me!

Beng Soon! Don't!

Beng Soon! Beng Soon!

If you want the shoes back,

you have two choices.

One. Do more homework for us.

Two. Let's fight.

Why do you resort to fighting so easily?

We are from the same village!

That's right!

When did I say that?

You did! You did!

When did I say that?

You just did!

When did I say fight?

You dead fat pig!

Hey, how can you call me a dead fat pig?

I'm very much alive.

Huh?

I'm a lively fat pig!

Huh?

Enough!

We don't have to fight to prove our might.

We can play soccer.

If you win,

you can bring your sister

to my store and pick out a new pair of shoes.

Kun, don't worry.

We'll win the shoes for you.

Hey! Our secret weapon!

What secret weapon?

Chicken Essence!

Wow! Chicken Essence!

Only one bottle? There are so many of us!

You are right!

I have no choice but to drink it myself.

Hey! Leave some for us!

Faster! Faster!

What are you doing? Dreaming?

Why are you so dumb?

It's so simple, yet you couldn't save it?

I could do that when I was three!

I don't mean to yell at you but you are a retard!

Okay, Ah Guang!

You do it!

Huh?

I should have kept quiet!

Pass the ball to me! Quick!

It's a goal!

Hey! What did you do?

Do you know this is our goal post?

Look at where you have kicked the ball!

Huh?

Beng Soon, thanks.

Can I bring my sister to your store tomorrow?

Did you win?

Hey, it was 3 - 2. Didn't we win?

Who scored the winning goal?

I did!

Hey!

Heard that?

You have the cheek to ask me for the shoes?

Whatever it is, according to the rules, we won.

Can you please abide by those rules?

That's right!

Who says I'm not abiding by the rules?

The shoes are mine. So I decide on the rules.

I want to resign!

I don't want to be the captain!

You go solve your own problems!

What happened?

What happened to you?

What are we to do without you?

What's the team to do without you?

Enough!

I have made up my mind.

Oh no! What are we to do?

We only lent them shoes

and they played so well!

I thought they wouldn't even score a goal

yet they scored two!

Two goals!

They got a pig for a goalkeeper

and you couldn't even score a goal.

Why is that so?

If we can't even beat Seow Hay's team,

how can we compete with other teams?

I have a way to deal with them.

Sorry, our team doesn't have enough shoes,

so we need the shoes back.

How can you do that?

One moment you give them to us.

Next you want them back.

One more thing, on this paper you gave Kun,

it says we can have the shoes for one year!

That's right!

Hey, how can you do that?

How can you show our letter to others?

How can we write you any letter in the future?

Yes, it's like writing a letter to a girlfriend

and then showing the letter to the world!

Don't you think that's unreasonable?

I merely wanted to clarify.

All of you refuse to tell the truth.

How can you just show the letter to others?

Doesn't your teacher teach you anything?

Yes!

Yes? Then all that is wasted!

What about you changing arguments every time?

Doesn't your teacher teach you anything?

Yes!

Then all that is wasted too!

It's wasted on you guys!

No, it's wasted on you guys!

It's wasted on you guys!

It's wasted on you guys!

It's wasted on you guys!

No, it's wasted on you guys!

For a small issue,

we argued again.

We are arguing because

what we agreed upon is now not valid.

No shoes means no soccer team.

To us, shoes are just shoes.

To Beng Soon,

the shoes mean something else.

Enough!

Let's go!

Seow Hay! Seow Hay!
