HIs stepfather looks upon the despondent Momo and decides to cheer him up with a hand puppet show. The show is a real story about Momo's parents. According to the story, his mother is the most popular soprano in the chicken robot world. While visiting the human robot world for a recital, Momo's mother met his father and fell in love with him. Later, she found out that she was pregnant and dumped the egg into a dark alley for the sake of her reputation. 'The egg rolled to this newsstand. That egg was you,' the stepfather says. Momo goes to meet his mother. His mother cannot recognize her son and leaves. Momo gazes at her limousine pulling away. Inside of the limousine, she suddenly turns around to look at Momo. The next mornig, Momo goes to school. The little chicken robots ignore him again. However, this time Momo doesn't care about them and takes the bus.
