00:00:13.792 --> 00:00:16.959
Once upon a time,

00:00:16.959 --> 00:00:19.041
a wise boy lived

00:00:19.041 --> 00:00:22.125
in a Mongolian village.

00:00:22.125 --> 00:00:24.417
In the village,

00:00:24.417 --> 00:00:27.750
each family raised a flock of sheep.

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.875
But a wild lion and a tiger lived

00:00:30.875 --> 00:00:34.041
on the mountain near the the village,

00:00:34.041 --> 00:00:37.458
so people did not dare

00:00:37.458 --> 00:00:39.709
to let their sheep go to the mountain.

00:00:39.709 --> 00:00:42.125
They just kept the sheep

00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:44.208
in their yards.

00:00:44.208 --> 00:00:47.792
But the boy did not have any land

00:00:47.792 --> 00:00:49.834
to raise the sheep,

00:00:49.834 --> 00:00:53.417
so he asked people in the village,

00:00:53.417 --> 00:00:55.583
"Mister,

00:00:55.583 --> 00:00:58.667
would you let my sheep eat

00:00:58.667 --> 00:01:00.959
some of the grass in your yard?"

00:01:00.959 --> 00:01:02.125
"Oh,

00:01:02.125 --> 00:01:05.125
we don't have enough grass for our sheep.

00:01:05.125 --> 00:01:08.542
Get off my land quickly."

00:01:08.542 --> 00:01:12.083
People didn't

00:01:12.083 --> 00:01:14.959
have enough grass to raise their own sheep,

00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.542
so they were reluctant to share their land with others.

00:01:17.542 --> 00:01:19.917
The boy was forced to

00:01:19.917 --> 00:01:23.125
take his flock up to the mountain.

00:01:23.125 --> 00:01:26.375
Then, the hungry lion and the tiger

00:01:26.375 --> 00:01:28.875
began to prey on the boy's sheep,

00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:29.875
one by

00:01:29.875 --> 00:01:32.291
one.

00:01:32.291 --> 00:01:34.583
finally the boy lost

00:01:34.583 --> 00:01:37.083
all of his sheep.

00:01:37.083 --> 00:01:40.542
The wild animals who ate his sheep

00:01:40.542 --> 00:01:43.291
tried to eat the boy as well.

00:01:43.291 --> 00:01:47.083
The lion, who was about to eat the boy, said,

00:01:47.083 --> 00:01:49.625
"Hahaha!

00:01:49.625 --> 00:01:52.291
You are the only one left now.

00:01:52.291 --> 00:01:57.125
There are no sheep left, so I will need to eat you instead."

00:01:57.125 --> 00:02:00.333
The boy thought that he could not die

00:02:00.333 --> 00:02:02.166
like this.

00:02:02.166 --> 00:02:04.583
So, he said,

00:02:04.583 --> 00:02:08.291
"It does not matter if you eat me up.

00:02:08.291 --> 00:02:11.333
But, how will you eat me up?

00:02:11.333 --> 00:02:13.041
I may be stronger than you,

00:02:13.041 --> 00:02:16.834
and you do not even know it.”

00:02:16.834 --> 00:02:19.375
The lion, who heard what the boy said,

00:02:19.375 --> 00:02:21.208
was stunded.

00:02:21.208 --> 00:02:24.500
"What, what did you say?

00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.333
A small boy like you is

00:02:27.333 --> 00:02:29.458
stronger than me?

00:02:29.458 --> 00:02:30.750
Hahaha!

00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:32.959
Have you gone crazy

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:36.041
before being eaten?

00:02:36.041 --> 00:02:39.333
Just watch my teeth

00:02:39.333 --> 00:02:41.792
and sit quietly, without speaking nonsense.”

00:02:41.792 --> 00:02:45.333
The lion opened his mouth

00:02:45.333 --> 00:02:47.250
to eat the boy up.

00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:50.458
Then, the boy said quickly,

00:02:50.458 --> 00:02:52.583
"Wait a moment.

00:02:52.583 --> 00:02:55.625
Are you just going to eat me up right now?

00:02:55.625 --> 00:02:58.917
You think you can beat me?

00:02:58.917 --> 00:03:00.667
Then, I will

00:03:00.667 --> 00:03:02.375
not just let you do so.

00:03:02.375 --> 00:03:04.417
I will eat you up

00:03:04.417 --> 00:03:06.959
using my huge strength."

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:10.291
The lion was a little bit scared

00:03:10.291 --> 00:03:12.834
because of the boy's bragging.

00:03:12.834 --> 00:03:14.166
"Oh,

00:03:14.166 --> 00:03:17.917
so what kind of strength do you have?

00:03:17.917 --> 00:03:20.917
Let me take a look."

00:03:20.917 --> 00:03:23.917
"How about competing against each other

00:03:23.917 --> 00:03:26.375
to find out who is stronger

00:03:26.375 --> 00:03:28.083
among us?

00:03:28.083 --> 00:03:31.333
How about

00:03:31.333 --> 00:03:33.999
after putting my strength against yours in three ways,

00:03:33.999 --> 00:03:35.959
the winner eats up the loser?"

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:38.041
When the boy made a suggestion,

00:03:38.041 --> 00:03:40.709
the lion quickly accepted.

00:03:40.709 --> 00:03:43.709
The lion thought that

00:03:43.709 --> 00:03:46.750
even though the boy was talking big,

00:03:46.750 --> 00:03:48.583
he could not be stronger than him.

00:03:48.583 --> 00:03:50.166
"Good.

00:03:50.166 --> 00:03:53.500
Even though you won't beat me,

00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:55.709
let's compare your strength against mine."

00:03:55.709 --> 00:03:58.166
The lion and the boy

00:03:58.166 --> 00:04:01.458
decided the time and place to compete,

00:04:01.458 --> 00:04:02.917
and then separated.

00:04:02.917 --> 00:04:07.375
After the boy saw the lion going away,

00:04:07.375 --> 00:04:10.458
he went to the hill where they would be competing,

00:04:10.458 --> 00:04:12.750
and dug a small hole.

00:04:12.750 --> 00:04:16.166
Then, he filled the sheep intestine with water,

00:04:16.166 --> 00:04:17.959
placed it in the hole,

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.166
and covered it with soil.

00:04:20.166 --> 00:04:23.041
After that, the boy picked

00:04:23.041 --> 00:04:25.041
a tree in the forest,

00:04:25.041 --> 00:04:26.875
took it out entirely,

00:04:26.875 --> 00:04:29.750
and covered it lightly with soil

00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:32.959
after placing the tree back in place.

00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.041
Lastly, the boy

00:04:35.041 --> 00:04:37.792
buried an egg in the ground,

00:04:37.792 --> 00:04:41.083
and waited for the day of competition.

00:04:41.083 --> 00:04:43.041
When the day arrived,

00:04:43.041 --> 00:04:45.709
the boy faced the lion

00:04:45.709 --> 00:04:47.750
on the hill chosen.

00:04:47.750 --> 00:04:50.750
The boy said to the lion,

00:04:50.750 --> 00:04:53.625
"Who is going to start first?"

00:04:53.625 --> 00:04:55.542
"Little kid,

00:04:55.542 --> 00:04:57.999
you can go first.

00:04:57.999 --> 00:05:00.875
Let’s see what you can do."

00:05:00.875 --> 00:05:02.291
"Okay, then.

00:05:02.291 --> 00:05:04.542
I will go first.

00:05:04.542 --> 00:05:07.166
I can make water come out

00:05:07.166 --> 00:05:09.125
of the ground

00:05:09.125 --> 00:05:10.792
by stepping on it."

00:05:10.792 --> 00:05:13.542
The boy went to where he had buried the sheep intestine

00:05:13.542 --> 00:05:16.375
which was filled with water.

00:05:16.375 --> 00:05:18.959
He stepped on the ground hard.

00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.125
Then, water started coming out of the ground.

00:05:23.125 --> 00:05:27.750
The lion was startled by this.

00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:29.000
"Now,

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.125
I will uproot a tree

00:05:32.125 --> 00:05:34.542
this time."

00:05:34.542 --> 00:05:38.208
The boy pulled the tree out easily,

00:05:38.208 --> 00:05:42.417
which he had already dug out.

00:05:42.417 --> 00:05:45.709
The lion saw it and was shocked again.

00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:49.166
He began to be scared at the strength of the boy.

00:05:49.166 --> 00:05:52.166
"Now, finally,

00:05:52.166 --> 00:05:55.500
I will make oil come out of the ground

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.083
by stepping on it."

00:05:57.083 --> 00:05:59.333
The boy

00:05:59.333 --> 00:06:01.875
went to the spot where he buried the egg,

00:06:01.875 --> 00:06:04.333
and stepped on the ground hard.

00:06:04.333 --> 00:06:07.291
Then, the egg broke

00:06:07.291 --> 00:06:10.417
and yellow liquid that looked like oil

00:06:10.417 --> 00:06:13.333
came out of the ground.

00:06:13.333 --> 00:06:16.125
The lion was shocked again.

00:06:16.125 --> 00:06:18.834
Now, it was time for the lion

00:06:18.834 --> 00:06:20.834
to show his strength.

00:06:20.834 --> 00:06:24.667
The lion stepped on the ground hard

00:06:24.667 --> 00:06:27.125
to make water come out,

00:06:27.125 --> 00:06:29.417
but water did not come out at all.

00:06:29.417 --> 00:06:32.667
The lion stepped and jumped on the ground all day long,

00:06:32.667 --> 00:06:35.625
but water did not come out.

00:06:35.625 --> 00:06:39.125
Only a big hole was made in the ground.

00:06:39.125 --> 00:06:42.625
But even though the lion used all his strength to pull the tree,

00:06:42.625 --> 00:06:44.875
the tree was only broken,

00:06:44.875 --> 00:06:47.417
and was not uprooted.

00:06:47.417 --> 00:06:49.041
Finally,

00:06:49.041 --> 00:06:51.999
it was time to make oil come out of the ground.

00:06:51.999 --> 00:06:55.500
The lion stepped and jumped

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.166
on the ground again,

00:06:57.166 --> 00:07:00.542
but nothing came out of the ground.

00:07:00.542 --> 00:07:02.500
"Hahaha!

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:03.709
Mr. Lion,

00:07:03.709 --> 00:07:07.875
now do you realize how strong I am?

00:07:07.875 --> 00:07:08.834
Well,

00:07:08.834 --> 00:07:12.542
I will eat you up as promised."

00:07:12.542 --> 00:07:16.667
When the boy said this, the lion ran away

00:07:16.667 --> 00:07:19.375
with his heart in his mouth.

00:07:19.375 --> 00:07:23.166
The tiger, who saw the terrified lion running away,

00:07:23.166 --> 00:07:26.291
stopped the lion.

00:07:26.291 --> 00:07:27.959
"Hey,

00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:28.917
you!

00:07:28.917 --> 00:07:30.959
What happened to you?

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.166
Why are you so frightened and running away?

00:07:35.166 --> 00:07:38.417
Calm down and tell me about it."

00:07:38.417 --> 00:07:42.834
The lion stammered, and told the tiger

00:07:42.834 --> 00:07:45.750
about the contest with the boy.

00:07:45.750 --> 00:07:49.667
The lion told the tiger in detail

00:07:49.667 --> 00:07:52.375
about how strong the boy was.

00:07:52.375 --> 00:07:56.083
The tiger laughed at the lion and said,

00:07:56.083 --> 00:07:57.417
"Hahaha!

00:07:57.417 --> 00:08:00.041
You are such a fool!

00:08:00.041 --> 00:08:02.208
Why are you scared of that little kid?

00:08:02.208 --> 00:08:05.792
If the kid is so strong,

00:08:05.792 --> 00:08:08.583
he should be able to beat both of us.

00:08:08.583 --> 00:08:12.166
Let's go and check it out."

00:08:12.166 --> 00:08:13.959
"What?

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.583
What are you talking about?

00:08:16.583 --> 00:08:18.291
I will never

00:08:18.291 --> 00:08:21.166
go near the boy again.

00:08:21.166 --> 00:08:23.875
You can go alone if you want,"

00:08:23.875 --> 00:08:27.917
The lion was said, still scared.

00:08:27.917 --> 00:08:29.458
"There, there!

00:08:29.458 --> 00:08:30.917
Come on.

00:08:30.917 --> 00:08:33.375
Come with me and check it out.

00:08:33.375 --> 00:08:36.291
The boy can't be

00:08:36.291 --> 00:08:37.583
that strong.

00:08:37.583 --> 00:08:40.750
If he is that powerful,

00:08:40.750 --> 00:08:43.250
I will bet my life on it."

00:08:43.250 --> 00:08:46.500
The lion wanted to check

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:49.750
the strength of the boy again,

00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:51.083
because of what the tiger had said.

00:08:51.083 --> 00:08:53.667
So, the lion went to the boy

00:08:53.667 --> 00:08:55.625
with the tiger.

00:08:55.625 --> 00:08:58.959
The boy said

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:01.709
to the lion and the tiger,

00:09:01.709 --> 00:09:03.291
"Tiger,

00:09:03.291 --> 00:09:04.417
you are

00:09:04.417 --> 00:09:06.834
an animal who is good at keeping his promise,

00:09:06.834 --> 00:09:08.917
bringing the lion here like this."

00:09:08.917 --> 00:09:13.208
The tiger was puzzled

00:09:13.208 --> 00:09:15.166
by the boy's unexpected words,

00:09:15.166 --> 00:09:18.792
but the boy continued to say with smile,

00:09:18.792 --> 00:09:22.041
"I was waiting for you,

00:09:22.041 --> 00:09:24.917
since we had decided that we would grill the lion’s thigh

00:09:24.917 --> 00:09:26.959
and enjoy eating it together,

00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:29.750
if you caught and brought the lion to me.

00:09:29.750 --> 00:09:31.625
Now, let's eat the lion."

00:09:31.625 --> 00:09:34.709
The lion was so surprised and angry

00:09:34.709 --> 00:09:37.083
at the boy's words,

00:09:37.083 --> 00:09:40.291
that he bit the tiger to death on the spot

00:09:40.291 --> 00:09:44.999
and ran far away from the boy.

00:09:44.999 --> 00:09:46.333
After that,

00:09:46.333 --> 00:09:49.625
thanks to the wise boy,

00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:52.250
the villagers were able to lead their sheep to the mountain

00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:55.667
and let them eat the grass in comfort.

00:09:55.667 --> 00:09:58.333
People praised the boy,

00:09:58.333 --> 00:10:02.500

00:10:05.083 --> 00:10:08.500
he could count.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.875
