Original title : L’Ami
Shinkichi, who has been given an old horse by his father, has the task of entertaining the village children by organising horse rides on the beach. But when the children get tired of the new game, the horse has to be sold. One day, during a ride on the cliff, Shinkichi falls and is left unconscious. The horse will warn the villagers and the child will be saved. Shinkichi will never forget it.
