['¸®µùŸ¿îÀÇ ¿µ¾îÀü·¡µ¿È­] The Liver of a Hare <Åä³¢ÀÇ °£>

The King of the Sea had been very ill for many months. The royal doctors tried all different kinds of medicine to cure him, but in vain. Then they sent for the Wiseman of the sea.


The Wiseman said the only one medicine to cure him could be found on land. ¡°On land!¡± the King said with surprise. ¡°We are all sea creatures. How can anybody get this medicine for me?¡±


¡°There is one sea creature that can live on land.¡± said the Wiseman. ¡°Perhaps Turtle could go to the land and get this medicine.¡±
¡°I shall ask him.¡±, the King of the Sea said. ¡°But tell me, what is this medicine?¡± ¡°It is the minced liver of a hare.¡±, the Wiseman said.


The King of the Sea sent for Turtle. The King explained what he wanted.
¡°Very well, Your Majesty.¡± Turtle said. ¡°I will do my best.¡± ¡°He lives underground. Find a hole in the ground and wait by it.¡±


Turtle found a hole and sat by it. When Hare came out of the hole, Turtle jumped quickly on him and flattened him. Hare could hardly breathe with Turtle on top of him. He gasped, ¡°Don¡¯t hurt me, Turtle, I will do whatever you say.¡±


¡°Don't be frightened, Hare¡± Turtle said. ¡°The King of the Sea wants to give you something, so you must come with me.¡± He didn¡¯t say the truth because he thought Hare might try to run away if he heard the King wanted his liver.


Before long, they reached the Royal Sea Palace. The King of the Sea looked at Hare. We should take out your liver. It is the only medicine that will cure me." ¡°Take out my liver!¡± Hare exclaimed. He knew that without a liver, he would die.


¡°Your Majesty¡±, Hare said. ¡°It would be my honor to give my liver to you, but I left it at home to keep it safe. If you don¡¯t mind, I will go and bring it back here for you.¡±


So, Hare and Turtle went back to the land. When they reached Hare's hole, Hare put his hand in his hole to feel around and took out three pieces of some small roots. Hare said, ¡°Tell the King to take one piece a day before breakfast. In three days, he will be cured.¡± Hare lied so he could be set free.


When Turtle arrived at the palace, he presented the King with the three roots. The doctors had never seen dried hare¡¯s liver before, so the King of the Sea took one piece a day before breakfast for three days. On the fourth day, he was cured!


It was actually the pieces of ginseng root that cured him. To this day, many people eat ginseng to help them stay healthy.
