Synopsis
A boy learns the joy of becoming an older brother after initially dismissing babies as uninteresting.
A little boy doesn't understand why all the women crowd around and pay attention to a baby. It's loud, cries, and doesn't do any tricks. Until he himself is called Oniichan does he realize that a baby is nice to have around to be given such a grand title of importance.
