Tunay na ginto ang ice cream na ito. Ipadala ito sa kaibigan mong mahilig sa matamis. Sa Japan, may lumang lungsod na tinatawag na Kanazawa. Bibili ka ng normal na soft ice cream doon, at pagkatapos, may magbabalot ng buong sheet ng ginto sa paligid nito.
Pinipipi ang ginto hanggang sobrang nipis. Mas manipis pa ito kaysa sa buhok. Gumagalaw ito sa pinakamaliit na hangin, kaya kailangang mabagal at tahimik ang mga manggagawa at hindi maaaring huminga malapit dito. Halos lahat ng gintong dahon sa Japan ay ginagawa sa isang lungsod na ito, at ginagawa na ito rito nang higit sa apat na raang taon.
Kakainin mo ito. Ligtas ang ginto, at halos walang lasa. Kaya't parang ice cream ang lasa ng ice cream. Mistulang kayamanan lang ito sa itsura. Itataas ito ng mga tao, tatamaan ng liwanag, at titingin ang buong kalye. Pagkatapos, kakainin nila nang mabagal, o mahahanap ito ng hangin, at madudulas ang ginto papunta sa kalsada, at tatawa ang lahat.
That's the story.
