216. Special Bonsai
Aired: 10/21/1980
Doraemon and Nobita fought over one cake, and Doraemon decided to increase the amount so that both can have a share. Doraemon plants the cake like a seed into the soil of "Special Bonsai" and waters it twice. The plant grows fast in the process of flowers dropping and bearing 14 fruits. The fruits all contained a similar cake each, and both boys are unable to finish them all. Doraemon felt thirsty and Nobita suggested repeating the procedure with a bottle of orange juice, which they succeeded. They are also unable to finish all the orange juice, and Nobita suggested getting Shizuka to come over for the cake and drinks, as well as bringing along her favourite doll. Together, Nobita and Shizuka increased the number of dolls and toy cars using the bonsai, and played with them on the road. Suneo and Gian were shocked at the number of similar toys they had, and upon Nobita's explanation, Gian robbed the bonsai and coerced Nobita into telling him the instructions, but Nobita told him only to plant the item he intend to increase as a seed (without watering it). Gian did so with a 1000 Japanese yen note, and the plant bears smaller and fewer fruits due to lack of water. Gian cried upon opening all the fruits only to find that the notes are so tiny that renders it unusable.
