He builds a hut besides the Tama River and undertaken to sell assorted stones and rocks he picked up from the river. Unfortunately, no one seems all that interested in his wares. Along the way, he meets a fellow rock dealer who is very weird, and his wife, who is even weirder. The former tells him of an auction where he might just sell something while the latter tries to seduce him. Later he meets an enigmatic bird salesman, who tells about another way to earn money.
