Synopsis
It is sowing time in the village, and everyone is out in the fields to help. When Kum and his friends are also drafted into the activities, three pesky crows eat up all the seed and make them look bad. The children vow revenge against the crows, but during Kum Kum and the kids' schemes for vengeance, who will suffer the most: the crows, Kum Kum, or the people of the village? When his Poppa blows his top, will Kum get locked in the wood cave permanently? This one is great fun!

Production notes
This TV series ran for 26 episodes.
Created by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.
The airing of this series on British children's TV in the early 1980s was the first English-language broadcast of work by Yasuhiko. The show was a surprising success, perhaps because its hero didn't wear any pants.
This series was bought by Paramount for import to the United States, but there is no indication that it was ever televised there. The series was dubbed into English in Australia using a voice cast of Australians, along with Australian technical crew.
