Toys and Childhood 3

...Hm? If you look carefully, it appears that the toy is more than an ordinary mass-produced item. It seems to differ from what is generally distributed.

I am making my judgement based solely on what I can see of the exterior pattern, as well as the condition of and text on the packaging. I would say it is probable that it was produced overseas, several decades ago.

...This is an unexpectedly meaningful article. It is likely to have value as a collector's item.

Are you interested in it?

This toy... Rather than that, I am interested in the toy store that would stock items such as this.

My apologies, girl, but could you inform me of the location of the toy store afterwards?

There were even more toys that looked like this.

Oh? What a considerably fascinating toy store— that it has even more similar toys.

There may be an item I am interested in. I will visit next time.

To tell you the truth...

Was this the final similar item in stock? That makes sense; I would be more surprised if there were several vintage items like that on display.

...No, you do not need to try and give it to me. Since you went through great trouble to choose it as a gift, it would be best if that child could be given it to cherish.
