Year of Rabbit?

[Kirby didn't know years belonged to animals. That's a new one.]

[choru]

The year of the rabbit is associated with Korea so it's especially important for me! Did you know that the first rabbits come from Korea? That's why it's even more important!

[pink_star_rider]

Oooh...

[Kirby pays attention to every world, trying to absorb all the knowledge he can from this new human. Why, Adeleine never told him from where rabbits came from. Kirby knew they were very cute though.]

Where Korea? [He certainly never heard about such place.]

[choru]

I'm right here!

[pink_star_rider]

[Kirby tilts his head in confusion. He was thinking that guy came from a place called Korea. Now he's saying his name is Korea.

Wait a minute. If rabbits come from Korea then...]

Ah! RABBITS COME FROM HUMAN??

[Kirby's mind is all sorts of confused right now.]

[choru]

Rabbits don't come from there! I'm a country!

[pink_star_rider]

Hm? Country?

[Kirby don't know anything about them silly countries. There are none in Dream Land.]

[choru]

The dictionary defines a country as a body of citizens who attach to a particular territory and implement government. I have the best territory in the world! That's not surprising because territory came from Korea.

[pink_star_rider]

[Kirby's head is spinning right now. Body of citizens? Implement government? What is that human talking about anyway? There isn't anything like that in Dream Land. People just settle somewhere and that's about it. There's no set territory or bounds in Dream Land.

And DeDeDe is the one that 'controls' everything. Is that similar to that government thing he talked about?]

Korea has king? [Only one way to find out.]

[choru]

Not anymore... But I invented something even better! I was the first one to create a republic! One of my super famous philosophers wrote a book about it and now I have a president. Myung Bak!

[pink_star_rider]

[Kirby never heard the word 'president' either. He's guessing that's like a king or something. But why would anyone trade one for another? Back in Dream Land, DeDeDe wasn't the best ruler ever, but he actually cared about the land, so, Kirby didn't see any problem with that.

But there's something else now.]

What 'philosopher'?

[choru]

He's a really smart person who thinks about all kinds of things! The best philosophers come from Korea, by the way.

[pink_star_rider]

[Kirby is now going from confused to impressed. That 'Korea' place, whatever it was or who it was, seemed pretty awesome.]

Korea look nice.

[choru]

[Korea is pretty awesome. This nation won't mind Kirby thinking like that at all!]

Were you admiring my handsome charms? I know it's hard to resist!

[pink_star_rider]

[Kirby still didn't get used to that thing of Korea being both a place AND a person, but he'll probably get around it sooner or later.

Also, he's actually curious and wants to know more about that country/person.]

What more Korea have?

[choru]

Everything! Hyundai, Lotte World, Mount Fuji, Confucius, kanji... Korea has it all!
