<b>     Story of Hey You

    A Tangun fairy tale for children please read...
     or listen carefully if read aloud!

<b>     [silly picture of silly girl]
   
     Young girl with silly name came from a village far
    away! Her name was so silly and hard to say that
    everyone just call her, "That girl" and "Hey you!"

    Hey You was not a very bright girl, but she was
    veeeeeeeeeery stubborn! More stubborn than goat!

    So one day Hey you was tired of everyone making
    fun of her name. Her face turned veeery red and
    veeery puffy like a pouting puffer fish, only
    tomato colored!

    She told everyone, "I will be successful, more
    than all of you!" And shook her fist at them with
     a great big "Grr!"

    Turning heel she ran for the hills as fast as she
    could! Vowing not to return until she was better
    than each and every one of them!

    So That Girl made her way to the far woods and
    picked a spot on the grassy floor, then started
    to dig!

    And dig! And digdigdig!
    She dug for three nights and three days, feeling
    very silly she left the village without any tools!
   
    But she was too stubborn to go back!

    Her hands turning raw from digging, but Hey you was
    too determined to stop!

    Finally when she was about to give up, she saw a
    glimmer from the dirt. She reached down and found
    a gold rock in her hand, very shiny!

    She cheered with glee, but then realized if there's
    one, there must be more! Hey You turned veeeery
    greedy!

    That Girl dug deeper down and found more gold rocks!
    But still stubborn like goat, she did not stop there!
   
     More and more gold in the dirt came up, and she
    made a small mountain nextto her. Until there were
    so many she realized she could not carry them home!

    Hey You's hard head and greedy heart would not stop
    there! She said, "Nay! I shan't part now, I will find
    a way to carry them all home later!"

    A while later, there was so much gold that it could
    make a king look poor! The hole Hey you dug was so
    deep and so frightening, that it was a pit of black
    abyss!

    Digdigdig.
    Diggity dig!

    Hey You suddenly felt a big rock in the way of her
    digging and said, "Nay rock! I shan't stop now! I
    will find a way around you!"

    She dug around the rock that silently tried to warn
    her what lay beneath, but she would not listen!

    Next thing she knew, Hey You fell through the earth
    itself, having dug all the way to the other side in
    her tenacious task!

<b>     [small drawing of Hey You falling through Earth]

    "Yeeeeeeeeee!" Was the last thing anyone heard of
    Hey You as she fell through the earth and out the
    other end!

    Great lesson in not doing things to prove to others,
    but because you enjoy doing them! Greater lesson in
    not being stubborn or greedy, but stop and be wise.
    Good to teach Tangunites!

    Or you may fall through the earth too, which is very
    bad. Very bad!

    Whatever happened to That Girl's gold, you ask? I
    hear old rumor that poor man hungry and stumbling
    through woods looking for berries, found giant
    mountain of riches!

<b>     [happy poor man with kind eyes in illustration]

    Poor man was very wise though, very kind! He took
    the gold back and shared with his poor village, who
    became wealthy enough to become great big city.

    Then great big kingdom! Then the poor man became
    great king!

    King of Koguryo!
    The End!
