#1 On a farm in the countryside, there lived a cowgirl named Mei and her little cowbrother O-kun. The farm owed money to a lender named Cattleya. When they couldn't pay, Cattleya took the deed of ownership... keeping the farm and O-kun as interest! Without a home and her family gone... Mei was all alone. She began to travel.... She would get the money needed to buy back her brother's freedom.
