It is said that there used to be a small country in Japan called Miyazaki, which didn't respect the elderly. Once people are over 60, they will be sent to the mountains for "celestial burial". There is a family where two grandparents live alone. When grandpa was 60 years old, his grandson couldn't bear to send him to the "celestial burial", so he hid him in a small attic and secretly delivered meals every day.

Later, the neighboring countries attacked and sent messengers to send two sea shrimps, asking the king to distinguish between men and women. If the difference is correct, he can withdraw his troops; if the difference is wrong, he will cross the country. Because all the old people with rich life experience have been sent to the "celestial burial", no one in the country can tell the difference. When he was anxious, the boy helped solve the problem and cleverly repelled the enemy soldiers.
