Thousands of years ago, there was an enchanted forest.
Within the two sections of the forest lived two clans – one water clan and the
other fire clan. One day the prince of the fire clan, Angora fell in love with
Mimisiki, the princess of the water clan. But both Mimisiki’s and Angora’s
fathers were against their marriage. The two fathers carved a boundary line in
the forest so Angora and Mimisiki could never meet each other again. Drenched
in deep sorrow, Mimisiki stopped eating food and even drinking water. She
couldn’t enjoy her life anymore. She sat all day at a foothill watching sunrise
and sunrise, refusing to meet anyone. On the other side, Angora too was
spending his days in pain and anguish. He would spend his days in the
battleground, often exercising his muscles beyond his threshold so that he
ended up with bleeding and wounds on his body. Seeing the intense suffering of
both lovers, their moms tried to convince their fathers to allow them to marry
each other. Finally, Mimisiki’s father agreed to allow their marriage but on
one condition. Angora had to visit the dark forest of the dead and bring the
“red diamond” from the cave of this forest. Angora agreed to bring the red
diamond. Before he left home, he walked to the boundary line to see Mimisiki.
Teary-eyed, he said to her, “Toodles!” She smiled and replied, “Toodles!” The
word Toodles means “see you later.”
