A story about a girl who throws everything away, and the things she has turned into rubbish come back to haunt her as ghosts. The author writes about her book: "When I draw stories like this, people sometimes think it is a book about discipline that says: 'Don't throw anything away.' But I don't draw them because I think they are useful. I draw them simply because I think children will enjoy them. Wouldn't you find it more appealing to hear: 'That doll might turn into a ghost,' than to hear: 'Don't throw it away!'?"

Something like that I'll throw in the wastebasket. In it goes!

I don't like dango. In it goes! If I throw food away, a mouse will come. Munch munch.
