This story is about a man that lived in Japan his entire life. During his younger years, he told stories to children using a cart filled with pictures and candies. Because of this, he was called the Kamishibai man. The children loved his stories and always came back for more. As the years progressed and technology advanced, the children watched more television, used hand-held games, and really didn't have an interest in listening to his stories. The Kamishibai man aged and didn't have the chance to tell many more stories but he later found out that he'd influenced people in ways he never imagined.
After this story, I would ask the children to become Kamishibai men/women and create their own never-ending stories, record it on a flip-camera and share with a small group of their classmates.
