The Magic Pot
The old men say wonders happened back in the time,
in a village in Korea.
There lived a poor woodcutter named Joon
with his wife Jong.
The couple owned
nothing but a small hut, and an axe.
Joon had to go to the forest
and cut trees every single day,
for the living.
One day,
There is not a cloud in the sky!
I feel worn out!!
Let me go deep into the forest
to find any stream.
He began to walk, and walk, and walk,
but he could find nothing but dried leaves all around.
And, finally,
What a relief!
Joon ran to the water,
got on his knee,
and began to quench his thirst.
And, when he was about to fetch,
for the one last time,
What is that?
I think I'm holding its handle. Well!
After a long struggle,
the woodcutter pulled out a huge pot out of the stream.
What a huge pot!
Its looks astonishing.
I must take this home.
Joon placed his axe inside the huge pot,
and carried it to his home.
Jong! Honey, look what I have got today.
Oh goodness,
that's so huge.
Where did you get this?
Joon narrated the entire incident.
The couple looked into the pot.
Their eyes grew wide.
There are two axes.
The pot is magical! I got an idea!
The couple, put some rice in the pot and left it overnight.
The next day,
the pot began to overflow with rice.
The couple rejoiced.
They tried the same with a few silver coins,
followed by gold, and many other jewels.
They became rich, richer and richest, of all.
Suddenly,
Honey, help!
Help!!
Oh, no!
There was two Jong, at the time.
The situation got worse,
as it was impossible to tell them apart.
And, there they learned the lesson for their greediness.
Kids, what have you learned from the story?
The couple in the story, were too greedy,
that they lost their mind,
and bought in themselves double-trouble.
So, kids, never be too greedy at, anytime.
