5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,240

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: they can't visit you with the baby. So this business

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: here bags gets bags of rice weighed to be the

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,080

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: This woman said, I first had the idea fourteen years

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: ago when my son was born. I was thinking about

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: what I could do for relatives who lived a long

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: way away and couldn't see him. So he was just

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: made these bags of rice that weighed the same and

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: shaped like a baby, so the relatives could hold them.

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: And this is nice and feel the cuteness. But they

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: also when a customer saw this one in the shop

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: said oh, I like the idea of that, So they

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: sort of started marketing them. But they make them for weddings,

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520
