Four second-grade students love to play on a grassy field filled with various insects.

They invite their teacher to their favorite field to play games with them, but the teacher falls into a trap they've dug in advance and praises them like little moles. When someone bullies a classmate, they create a sneeze machine to fight for justice. The city government plans to turn the mole field into a residential area, but they, along with their teacher and parents, oppose the construction and insist on preserving the green space... The four children play happily on the mole field, letting their hearts and imaginations soar... The mole field is a forever paradise stored in the hearts of every one of us.
