Seon-nye and the woodcutter(선녀와 나무꾼) A folklore, also a sad, heartbreaking story. "Seon-nye and the woodcutter" is pretty popular. I chose this folklore as my 11th episode story because for those who don't know this story. After you read this book, you might learn why roosters cry so early in the morning. Or how roosters were created.... Before listening to this story, I recommend something. First, make sure you know the word 'Seon-nye'. (If you don't, I recommend listening to "The Magic Fan"---I think I described the Seon-nye very well there. Oh and I think it'll be just wonderful if you know ..read more

Mangjuseog Trial(망주석 재판) A folklore, also a hilarious story. To be honest, I had forgotten about this story, but once I read it, I remembered it clearly. This folklore is really awesome.

Deadline hill(삼년고개) A folklore, also a funny-thinking story. I keep thinking : what if the story was true and the hill really existed? I think the answer is, a disaster. If everyone had the chance of living forever, not dying, then the world would surely be a mess. Though I'm pretty sure I would be tempted if the deadline hill really was real. Hmm...probably. Okay. Time for me to go to sleep. Before that... I'll keep talking nonsense. (Is it?)It was very exciting to translate this story. I am delighted to introduce this folkstory to you 'cause this is a very amusing topic to talk about. Also ..read more
