Momotaro had earned quite a bit of money from working at a few part-time jobs. But, he needed to buy some more gas for his camping stove. So that was the priority.
Then something rather sparkly caught his eye. A pink (or purple?) sparkly pan. It was in the kitchen ware section. Sitting right on the end cap, like a fabulous display that one could pick up and examine. But it still had one of those security tags (and a wire) to make sure no one steals it.
There was a glint in Momotaro’s eye. Should...should he pick it up? No, he probably couldn’t afford another pan. Plus, his current cast iron pan was still working quite well!
...But he couldn’t ignore the (meager) child-like spirit in him to see if he can pick it up. See the sparkly closer.
And so gingerly he took a hold of the handle and lifted up the pan. It was very, VERY sparkly.
This might have caught the eye of some others, as this looked like a small child holding a well-advertised heavy as heck frying pan.
