Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Hungboo and Nolboo. The younger brother, Hungboo, was virtuous and the older brother, Nolboo, was unkind.
One day their father called them up, "If I die, divided the property in half and you each get a half." But after their father died the bad Nolboo kicked Hungboo, his wife and his nine children out.
"Mom, I am hungry" "Mom, me too." The Nine children were crying. They got the flu and starved. "I will get some rice from your uncle's house, tomorrow. Let's bear hunger for one more day."
Next morning, Hungboo went to his brother's house. "Brother, my children have nothing to eat. Please spare me some rice." At that moment Nolboo's wife was scooping rice out of a pot. She came out and hit his cheek with the rice scoop. "Sister-in-law, this side too." "What?" Hungboo got flogged and came back home empty handed.
The cold winter went by and the warm spring came. A pair of swallow made their home at Hungboo's house and bred baby swallows. One day, Hungboo heard a loud cry of swallows. He ran to see what was going on and the big snake was sticking out its tongue to eat baby swallows.
Hungboo hit the snake with the stick and it away. But a baby swallow fell when it was trying to avoid the snake and broke its leg. Hungboo put a bandage on its leg. The autumn came and the swallow family was headed for the South. "Thank you. I will return you a favor."
Next year, spring came. Each swallow came back with a gourd seed in its mouth. Gourd seed grew successfully. "Let's open up a gourd and have a nice meal." Hungboo's family who was sawing the gourd watched in astonishment. The valuable treasures poured out from the gourd. "Ho! Ho! Let's open up the other one." When he sawed the other gourd, the house, rice, silk, and jewel fell out.
Nolboo heard the news and went to Hungboo's house. Hungboo told his brother the whole story and Nolboo went back home without even saying "Thank you."
"Honey, catch a swallow quickly!" Nolboo caught a swallow, broke its leg and applied a bandage. "Bring me a lot of gourd seed." Next year, the swallow delivered him gourd seed.
Nolboo planted it and he quickly opened the gourd. The gourd exploded 'Pop' the Nolboo's family was surprised. There were ghosts, demons, snakes, etc and they knocked Nolboo's family down. "Ouch! Oh, I am dying."
They took away everything what Nolboo had and he became a beggar. When Hungboo heard the news he came to see his brother Nolboo and said "Brother, Let's live together. We are brothers." After that day, Nolboo became a good man and lived a blissful life.
