Book excerpt: Three years ago he went with some friends to a monastery tostudy, but one night he disappeared, and though I searched far andwide I have had no word of him since. I concluded that he had beendestroyed by some wild animal, so I had a funeral service held andthe house went into mourning. I had no other children but this sononly. He was greatly gifted and I lost him in this strange way. Thememory has never left me, for it seems as though I had lost him butyesterday. Now that I look at this paper I see indeed that it is thewriting of my son. When I lost him I was Chief Justice, and thus herecords the office; but where he has been for these three years, andhow he comes now to take part in the examination, I know not."The King, hearing this, was greatly astonished, and at oncebefore all the assembled ministers had him called. Thus he came inhis scholar's dress into the presence of the King. All the officialswondered at this summoning of a candidate before theannouncement of the result. The King asked him why he had leftthe monastery and where he had been for these three years. Hebowed low, and said, "I have been a very wicked man, have left myparents, have broken all the laws of filial devotion, and deservecondign punishment." The King replied, saying, "There is no law ofconcealment before the King. I shall not condemn you even thoughyou are guilty; tell me all." Then he told his story to the King. All theofficials on each side bent their ears to hear. The King sighed, andsaid to the father, "Your son has repented and made amends for hisfault. He has won first place and now stands as a member of theCourt. We cannot condemn him for his love for this woman. Forgivehim for all the past and give him a start for the future." His Majestysaid further, "The woman Charan, who has shared your life in thelonely mountains, is no common woman. Her plans, too, for yourrestoration were the plans of a master hand. She is no dancing-girl,this Charan. Let no other be your lawful wife but she only; let her beraised to equal rank with her husband, and let her children and herchildren's children hold highest office in the realm." So wasKeydong honoured with the winner's crown, and so the PrimeMinister received his son back to life at the hands of the King. Thewinner's cap was placed upon his head, and the whole house waswhirled into raptures of joy.So the Minister sent forth a palanquin and servants to bring upCharan. In a great festival of joy she was proclaimed the wife of theMinister's son.

Book excerpt: PREFACETo any one who would like to look somewhat into the inner soul of the Oriental, and see the peculiar spiritual existences among which he lives, the following stories will serve as true interpreters, born as they are of the three great religions of the Far East, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.An old manuscript copy of Im Bang's stories came into the hands of the translator a year ago, and he gives them now to the Western world that they may serve as introductory essays to the mysteries, and, what many call, absurdities of Asia. Very gruesome indeed, and unlovely, some of them are, but they picture faithfully the conditions under which Im Bang himself, and many past generations of Koreans, have lived.The thirteen short stories by Yi Ryuk are taken from a reprint of old Korean writings issued last year (1911), by a Japanese publishing company. Three anonymous stories are also added, "The Geomancer," to show how Mother Earth has given anxiety to her chicks of children; "Im, the Hunter," to tell of the actualities that exist in the upper air; and "The Man who lost his Legs," as a sample of Korea's Sinbad.The biographical notes that accompany the stories are taken very largely from the Kuk-cho In-mul-chi, "Korea's Record of Famous Men."J. S. Gale.BIOGRAPHICALIm Bang was born in 1640, the son of a provincial governor. He was very bright as a boy and from earliest years fond of study, becoming a great scholar. He matriculated first in his class in 1660, and graduated in 1663. He was a disciple of Song Si-yol, one of Korea's first writers. In 1719, when he was in his eightieth year, he became governor of Seoul, and held as well the office of secretary of the Cabinet. In the year 1721 he got into difficulties over the choice of the Heir Apparent, and in 1722, on account of a part he played in a disturbance in the government, he was exiled to North Korea, where he died.(From Kuk-cho In-mul-chi, "Korea's Record of Famous Men.")Yi Ryuk lived in the reign of King Se-jo, matriculated in 1459, and graduated first in his class in 1564. He was a man of many offices and many distinctions in the way of literary excellence.

Book excerpt: From Shakespeares Queen of the Fairies to the Flower Fairies and the Christmas Fairy, the magical creatures have enchanted centuries of people. This book explores what makes fairies, elves and imps so special. These winged creatures have given their names to many words and phrases as one of the chapters reveals and weve been entranced by fairies since fairy tales introduced us to Fairy Godmothers. The main part of the book is an A-Z featuring thousands of fairies and their male counterparts. Each short biography will have a symbol to show where they found their fame, whether in books, films, cartoons or, like Fairy Liquid, brands and advertising. Did you know? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in fairies and was taken in by a photograph which two little girls faked of fairies in Cottingley which he published in The Strand Magazine Dandelion seeds are known as fairies Fairy Lights were invented for Gilbert & Sullivans Iolanthe

Download or read book The Story Bag written by Kim So-Un and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Korean folk tales is sure to delight the hearts of all children between the ages of eight and eighty. Written with earthy wit and pathos, these Korea children's tales unveil the inevitable foibles of people everywhere and expose the human-like qualities of animals and the animal-like qualities of humans. Pulsating with the rhythm of life and the seasons, these stories transport the reader to a wonderland, where a tiny mouse teaches filial piety to a spoiled child, a blind man can "see" evil spirits, and fleas drink rice wine. It is somehow deeply reassuring to know that even in present-day war-ravaged and politically-divided Korea, these same stories are still being told, just as they have been for generations.
