Dragon Ball

Far away,

in an enchanted land

that seemed untouched by the steady march of time,

there lived an old master named Gohan

who found a baby boy abandoned in the wilderness of the region.

The old master raised the boy as his own child

and marveled as the youngster grew

and became uncommonly strong.

Now the boy,known as Goku, is on his own,

and has become the sole guardian of his grandfather's most mystical possession

his Dragon Ball!

Hi! Just hanging around, huh?

Well, that takes care of that.

I'm hungry ! wow !

Little did Goku know, a visitor was approaching his remote mountainside home.

The young boy's life was about to begin a radical new phase.

Totally radical !

Let's see here.

Oh, yeah, there it is !

You're as good as mine, you little jewel !

I'm going to go get some food.

Grandpa, stay there, okay ?

This won't take long. I'll be right back.

Huh....?

Golly, I've never seen you shine bright like that before, Grandpa !

How strange ! Can you do it again ?

You can wait until later if you have to.

I'll see you in a little while.

Now what should I have to eat today ?

Gosh, it's so hard to decide. Why don't you decide, tummy.

Fish?

Fish! Yeah! ha-ha. That sounds really great!

Alright!

Ah, but first, I'm going to need a little snack!

That was good.

Missed me!

Come on ....! Catch me if you can.

You're almost there!

That was great!

Mm, there. That oughta do it! It'll be dry no time.

Here comes the waterfall!

Huh? Hey! It looks like now is a good time to do a little tail-fishing.

Come on, you little rascals. I know you think it's a giant worm.

Take a bite!

Wow! That's what I call a fish!

This oughta last me until dinner!

Huh? What's that noise?

Yikes! Is he dead?!

What the...?!

- Wow! You're alive?! -Rrrgh! So you thought you finished me off?

Well, you're not going to get my fish that easy, you big monster!

Ahh.. Stop it! What are you doing?!

This is for hitting me!

There! That'll teach you to try to take my fish! Sneaking up on me like that!

Well, I'm ready for you this time! Why don't you come out of your shell and fight!

What's wrong?! Don't tell me you used up all of your power already, monster!

Not quite...!

Holy cow! Whoa! What was that?!

But...How'd you...?You shouldn't be alive, kid?

So you thought you finished me off again, huh?

Well, Grandpa told me about evil creatures like you.

Your black arts won't work on me! Alright monster! It's your turn!

Monster?

Hold on! I'm not a monster kid! I'm a human being!

Just like you are!

You are? ....Really?

Yes!

Of course, I am!

You can see that for yourself.... Can't you?

Look. I won't bite.

Uh! Stay back.

A human you say?

That's right. Wanna to see my certificate of authenticity?

No thanks.

-How long is this going to take? -Will you hush up?

Well, you look human enough.

But you're different. You're thin and scrawny.

I'm a girl, silly. That's why.

A girl? Oh, so that's what you are.

Oh my gosh! Are you saying you're never seen a girl before?!

Nope! Besides my grandpa, you're the only human being that I've ever seen!

Uh??

But Grandpa told me about girls.

He told me that if I ever ran into a girl, that I should be as polite as I possibly could.

I see. Well! What a nice thing to say!

Your grandpa sounds like a very wise man. Is he?

Well, he was! He died a long time ago!

-Shame on you! What do you thing you're doing? -I was just checking to see if you had a tail.

Don't worry! Maybe it just takes girls longer to grow theirs!

I'm sure it'll spout up any time now, kid!

"What a weirdo!"

How did you get that monster to do what you wanted it to do?

That's not a monster, silly. That's a car.

Oh, so this is a car.

Grandpa told me about them but I've never actually seen one!

You know, for a little kid, you're really strong!

Thanks! Grandpa trained me to be like steel.

Hey. You were driving a car around, right?

So, does that mean that you're from one of the big cities?

You go it.

Wow! Why don't you come to my house with me and I'll cook you some lunch.

You can tell me all about the city you're from!

-Come on! -Hold on! Just a second!

It looks like the Dragon ball is right down the road!

Maybe it's at this little kid's house!

I think it's safe to assume we're having fish for lunch.

Well, alright! So what's on the agenda?

Well, we can have a bite to eat and talk, then play together.

Now look.

If you think we're going to do anything improper, you can forget it!

Improper? What does that mean?

Oh, never mind.

I guess Grandpa hasn't told him about that yet!

This kid's so innocent that he's adorable.

Golly. Girls sure are strange!

Well anyway, let's go!

Sounds good! I'll just follow the giant fish.

So, kid. What's your name anyway?

My name is Goku. G. O. K. U.

What's yours?

Uh... my name? Mine?

Bulma.

That's funny!

Hey, Goku's not exactly normal, so there!

Yeah!, but it's not as weird as yours!

Hey, you be quite!

Bulma happens to be very elegant!

It's a lot better than Goku! That's for sure!

Wow! That's a nice little place you've got there, kid!

Gee, thanks! Just wait here one second.

-Listen! -What's up?

Grandpa's trying to talk to me.

But Goku, I don't hear anyone ta....

Oh my goodness! It's a Dragon ball!

Hey! Give me my grandpa back now!

Your grandpa?

You mean this?

Yeah!

This is the only thing that my grandpa gave me to remember him by.

Nobody can touch it but me.

Look! Look what it's doing.

I think Grandpa's trying to talk to me.

What do you think he's saying?

I hate to do this, but I don't really have a choice!

-See! -What?!

You've got to be kidding!

You've got two Grandpas! No way!

They're not Grandpas. They're called Dragon balls.

You sure about that?

Definitely. I'm positive.

Your ball started glowing because it was reacting to the two that I have.

Look. Put yours down.

Well...okay. But just for a second.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, these gems have the power to do great things!
