Oct. 8 - Children learn how to put out fires, be a flight attendant and flip hamburgers at a Japanese theme park.

Translations:
SOUNDBITE Kazuko Saito, Nurse and parent, saying (Japanese):
"I hope my daughter found a job which suits her."

SOUNDBITE Takuya Saito, 12-year-old participant saying (Japanese):
"I tried to be a construction worker and fire fighter. Now I think it's OK to do such jobs"


"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Brilliant! Think of the possibilities here -- Disney has a labor shortage, so... get kids to do the work, call it entertainment, and charge them for the privilege!!
