Summary
It is getting late, and Muten Rōshi decides he is going to test the boys before dinner, but the serious training begins tomorrow. Goku asks if it is more running, but the Turtle Hermit says it will be more than just that. He picks up a stone, and draws the "turtle" kanji (亀 kame) on it, and shows it to them. As Goku wonders what he will do with it, Muten Rōshi throws it off a cliff and down into the jungle. They wonder if it is a test of stone-throwing, but he tells them it is instead a test of stone-searching. It will be good for the spirit, concentration, and physical strength. Besides, the loser will not get dinner. Muten Rōshi tells them they have to hurry, since dinner is in thirty minutes. He tells them they will both end up without if they do not find it soon, so the two quickly run off.
Goku and Kuririn stand over the edge of the cliff, and Kuririn worries about getting down there, but Goku just dives off towards the jungle below. Kuririn yells that he is stupid, but Goku yells back that he used to do this all the time back in the mountains. He catches onto a tree branch, but it snaps and he falls to the ground. Goku quickly gets up and darts off yelling, "Dinner, dinner!!"
Kuririn looks down, and wonders if Goku is human. He thinks that finding a little stone in that jungle within thirty minutes is almost impossible. So, he runs off and grabs a stone, goes to a lady's house and borrows a felt pen. He draws the kame kanji on the stone and runs off. Meanwhile, Goku sniffs around the jungle looking for the old man's scent. Kuririn gets back to the house, pretending to be exhausted, and shows Muten Rōshi the stone. The old man looks it over, then throws it back at Kuririn, hitting him in the head, and says it is not his handwriting.
It is getting darker, and Kuririn is down in the jungle. A saber-toothed tiger jumps out at Kuririn, who barely dodges, and elbows it in the back of the head, knocking it out. He hides behind a tree as a triceratops comes by. Kuririn recognizes Goku's voice, yelling he has found it! When he finds Goku, Kuririn thinks he must be a dog to have found the stone by scent. Kuririn asks to see it to check if it is real, and when Goku hands it over, Kuririn darts off. Goku gives chase and they run across a rope bridge, but Kuririn cuts the ropes off when he reaches the other side, causing Goku to fall to the ground.
Back up above the cliff, Goku still manages to gain on Kuririn, so Kuririn says they should fight. When the smoke clears, Kuririn is all beaten up, and he says he will concede. Instead, though, Kuririn tosses the stone off into the distance, and Goku runs off to find it. That was the fake one, however, and Kuririn gives Muten Rōshi the real stone. So, Muten Rōshi, Lunch, and Kuririn all enjoy some nice fish while Goku miserably watches them. Luckily for Goku, Lunch had unknowingly cooked fugu, causing everyone who ate it to become very sick. "Afterwards, the training was halted for three days, so that the three of them besides Goku could rest for their sickness. The reason is because they ate fugu tonight..."
