00:00:04.667 --> 00:00:10.500
A long time ago, there was a woodcutter living alone.

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:14.792
He was so shy and

00:00:14.792 --> 00:00:17.375
poor that

00:00:17.375 --> 00:00:20.166
he never had a girlfriend in his

00:00:20.166 --> 00:00:23.125
Whole life.

00:00:23.125 --> 00:00:29.041
But one day, when he visited the market to sell wood,

00:00:29.041 --> 00:00:33.917
he instantly fell in love.

00:00:33.917 --> 00:00:37.291
He saw the only daughter of Mr. Lee, one of the

00:00:37.291 --> 00:00:40.834
wealthiest men in the district, from a distance

00:00:40.834 --> 00:00:46.041
and became lovesick.

00:00:46.041 --> 00:00:50.792
He thought of her when he closed his eyes and

00:00:50.792 --> 00:00:56.375
missed her when he opened his eyes.

00:00:56.375 --> 00:01:00.875
He couldn't stop thinking about her, even when

00:01:00.875 --> 00:01:03.083
he washed his face, had a meal, or

00:01:03.083 --> 00:01:09.166
used the toilet.

00:01:09.166 --> 00:01:12.125
But there was no way he could meet her.

00:01:12.125 --> 00:01:15.375
He was a poor farmer,

00:01:15.375 --> 00:01:22.208
and she was the only daughter from a family of high status.

00:01:22.208 --> 00:01:25.959
After suffering every day,

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:31.041
he thought, “Well, I should at least pray to a god.

00:01:31.041 --> 00:01:35.834
They say sincerity moves heaven, so something will

00:01:35.834 --> 00:01:40.125
come up,” and offered a bowl of water

00:01:40.125 --> 00:01:44.625
at the tutelary tree

00:01:44.625 --> 00:01:47.583
for prayer.

00:01:47.583 --> 00:01:52.583
"God, god. Please let me marry

00:01:52.583 --> 00:01:55.083
Mr. Lee's daughter.

00:01:55.083 --> 00:01:59.750
Please let me marry Mr. Lee's daughter."

00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:06.333
The prayer really seemed to have touched the god's heart.

00:02:06.333 --> 00:02:11.417
One day, the god showed up in his dream and said,

00:02:11.417 --> 00:02:17.709
"Oh, you're definitely good at praying.

00:02:17.709 --> 00:02:22.542
I'll tell you how you can marry her.

00:02:22.542 --> 00:02:28.083
Tonight, if you sneak into Mr. Lee's backyard,

00:02:28.083 --> 00:02:33.250
there will be a wet spot under the peony tree.

00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:37.667
Plant these three seeds there.

00:02:37.667 --> 00:02:45.291
Then, your wish will come true."

00:02:45.291 --> 00:02:49.375
When the woodcutter woke up, he really had

00:02:49.375 --> 00:02:52.500
three seeds in his hand.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.667
That night…

00:02:54.667 --> 00:02:58.750
He sneaked into Mr. Lee's backyard,

00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:02.166
planted three seeds in the wet spot under

00:03:02.166 --> 00:03:06.834
the peony tree, and ran away.

00:03:06.834 --> 00:03:12.041
That wet spot was where Mr. Lee's daughter

00:03:12.041 --> 00:03:16.583
peed every dawn, and so the tree

00:03:16.583 --> 00:03:19.875
would be able to grow well.

00:03:19.875 --> 00:03:25.125
The next dawn, Mr. Lee's daughter peed

00:03:25.125 --> 00:03:30.542
under the tree and stood up.

00:03:30.542 --> 00:03:33.041
But for some reason,

00:03:33.041 --> 00:03:36.834
when she took a step,

00:03:36.834 --> 00:03:38.500
there was sound, “nil-ri-ri”

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:40.041
coming from

00:03:40.041 --> 00:03:42.041
behind her.

00:03:42.041 --> 00:03:47.208
When she looked back in surprise, there was nothing.

00:03:47.208 --> 00:03:49.917
There was nothing around her, but

00:03:49.917 --> 00:03:52.792
she was sure she heard the sound.

00:03:52.792 --> 00:03:58.250
Oh, how strange. What's that sound?", she thought and took

00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:01.999
another step. Then, "kung-duk!'

00:04:01.999 --> 00:04:05.166
When she took another step,

00:04:05.166 --> 00:04:07.667
"kung-duh-kung!"

00:04:07.667 --> 00:04:14.542
When she kept walking, "nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duk-kung!"

00:04:14.542 --> 00:04:18.542
When she took big steps forward, the sound became louder.

00:04:18.542 --> 00:04:22.375
"Nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duh-kung!"

00:04:22.375 --> 00:04:26.750
When she took light steps, the sound became quiet.

00:04:26.750 --> 00:04:30.625
"Nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duh-kung!"

00:04:30.625 --> 00:04:38.542
"Nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duh-kung! Nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duh-kung!"

00:04:38.542 --> 00:04:41.166
The sound, “Nil-ri-ri, kung-duk, kung-duh-kung!”, kept

00:04:41.166 --> 00:04:45.083
coming out of the girl's buttocks, and

00:04:45.083 --> 00:04:48.250
it was a disaster.

00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:52.667
The daughter got very stressed and became ill.

00:04:52.667 --> 00:04:58.417
Mr. Lee was also worried because of that.

00:04:58.417 --> 00:05:03.208
He called a doctor for medicine,

00:05:03.208 --> 00:05:06.500
tried exorcism,

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:10.999
and even asked the fortune teller, but he couldn't find out why this was happening..

00:05:10.999 --> 00:05:14.250
He couldn't cure her daughter's illness.

00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:17.417
After trying every method he could find,

00:05:17.417 --> 00:05:23.250
he put out a notice for everyone to see.

00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:26.375
"For the person that cures my daughter's disease,

00:05:26.375 --> 00:05:30.041
I'll give half of my wealth."

00:05:30.041 --> 00:05:34.792
The woodcutter was also worried about her and couldn't work.

00:05:34.792 --> 00:05:37.125
He couldn't eat either…

00:05:37.125 --> 00:05:43.375
Oh, he was going to fall ill too.

00:05:43.375 --> 00:05:46.792
But one day, he fell asleep while praying

00:05:46.792 --> 00:05:51.750
to that god.

00:05:51.750 --> 00:05:56.542
The god showed up in his dreams and said,

00:05:56.542 --> 00:06:01.542
"Ha ha! Don't worry."

00:06:01.542 --> 00:06:06.667
"Tell Mr. Lee that you'll cure the disease.

00:06:06.667 --> 00:06:12.500
Then, take out the seeds you planted one by one.

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.041
One seed on the first day,

00:06:15.041 --> 00:06:17.667
another on the next day,

00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:22.625
and the last seed on the day after.

00:06:22.625 --> 00:06:28.917
After 3 days, the disease will be cured,"

00:06:28.917 --> 00:06:31.500
the god told him.

00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:38.125
When the woodcutter woke up, the god was gone.

00:06:38.125 --> 00:06:42.750
He went to Mr. Lee's house immediately.

00:06:42.750 --> 00:06:46.417
"Sir, I'll cure your daughter's disease!"

00:06:46.417 --> 00:06:50.375
When Mr. Lee saw him, he could tell he was not even a doctor.

00:06:50.375 --> 00:06:53.375
He was just a woodcutter.

00:06:53.375 --> 00:06:57.041
He was not very convinced, but still allowed

00:06:57.041 --> 00:06:59.333
him to try to cure her.

00:06:59.333 --> 00:07:04.750
So the woodcutter began to stay at Mr. Lee's house.

00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:10.875
That night, he sneaked into the backyard and

00:07:10.875 --> 00:07:14.542
took out a seed.

00:07:14.542 --> 00:07:19.333
Then, he made Mr. Lee's daughter drink a bowl of water

00:07:19.333 --> 00:07:23.959
and take a walk.

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:24.834
Then,

00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:28.875
"...Kung-duk, kung-duh-kung!"

00:07:28.875 --> 00:07:32.458
"Oh my! 'Nil-ri-ri' is gone now!"

00:07:32.458 --> 00:07:36.542
That night, he took out another seed and

00:07:36.542 --> 00:07:39.667
made her walk in the next morning.

00:07:39.667 --> 00:07:41.959
"...Kung-duh-kung!"

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:47.542
"Wow, now 'kung-duk' is gone!"

00:07:47.542 --> 00:07:51.667
When the woodcutter took out the last seed,

00:07:51.667 --> 00:07:53.333
“...."

00:07:53.333 --> 00:07:58.500
"Oh my! There's no sound! Nothing!"

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:02.792
Mr. Lee's family celebrated.

00:08:02.792 --> 00:08:09.041
The daughter took light steps back and forth,

00:08:09.041 --> 00:08:14.500
and heavy steps here and there.

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:17.542
She walked again and again.

00:08:17.542 --> 00:08:21.500
Mr. Lee's family danced

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:24.542
with joy.

00:08:24.542 --> 00:08:28.375
And Mr. Lee said, dancing merrily,

00:08:28.375 --> 00:08:34.667
"Hey! You can have half of my wealth.

00:08:34.667 --> 00:08:39.792
Take it. It's yours!"

00:08:39.792 --> 00:08:43.750
But the woodcutter had something else in his mind.

00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:47.834
While dancing, he asked.

00:08:47.834 --> 00:08:54.166
"Sir, can I have something else

00:08:54.166 --> 00:08:55.917
in return?"

00:08:55.917 --> 00:09:03.999
"Oh, what is it? Tell me," Mr. Lee said.

00:09:03.999 --> 00:09:09.875
"Please let me marry your daughter," the woodcutter said.

00:09:09.875 --> 00:09:12.208
Then, Mr. Lee told him.

00:09:12.208 --> 00:09:18.667
"Well, that's my daughter's choice, not mine.

00:09:18.667 --> 00:09:25.625
How about it, dear? Do you like this man or not?"

00:09:25.625 --> 00:09:30.583
So what happened? You know the answer.

00:09:30.583 --> 00:09:34.875
Mr. Lee's daughter said she likes him.

00:09:34.875 --> 00:09:40.333
So the next day, they got married

00:09:40.333 --> 00:09:44.333
and lived happily ever after.
