Samurai Farm Boy
- The Captain does come back with a wife: Albertina.
- Manjiro likes her immediately.
- The Captain also gets a farm, where Manjiro lives like a regular farm boy, with a long list of chores.
- One day, after he completes his chores, he rides his horse, Plum Duff, around and ends up falling off—a typical thing for Manjiro.
- He falls in front of this white boy named Terry while Plum Duff runs off.
- Manjiro calls for Plum Duff, which makes Terry ask him what the horse's name is.
- Apparently, even though Manjiro thinks he's saying "Plum Duff," it comes out (at least to Terry) as "prumuduffu."
- Manjiro gets Terry to help him look for Plum Duff.
- While they search for the horse, the boys become friends, and for the rest of summer they hang out and teach each other all sorts of skills and games.
- Manjiro also teaches Terry about samurai and swords.
- However, when Terry asks whether or not Manjiro will become a samurai when he goes back to Japan, Manjiro lies and says he totally will.
