An Invitation From A Crab
- Chasing a Butterfly: except replace the butterfly with a crab.
Innovation
- Boring, but Practical: the main character uses her simple bamboo fountain creation in order to crack the coconuts so she could slack off while doing a job.

The Case Of The Giant Salamander
- Misplaced Wildlife: after the main characters return the salamander back in the Amazon, they later discovered too late that the salamander was actually native to Japan!
