Rabbit & Turtle

[4] Rabbit & Turtle

 

Rabbit: Really? What a coincidence again! I also have a good luck charm. What is yours?

Turtle: Look at this.

Rabbit: What are those? They look so funny.

Turtle: They're Busuns. (버선)

Rabbit: 버선? What are 버선s?

Turtle: Listen, they are a kind of sock. Of all the parts of the human body, the feet are the sorriest, dirtiest and most abused parts. However, Koreans turned this unfortunate art of the body into a thing of beauty. So, I believe these will turn all bad luck into good luck.

Rabbit: Oh! That's nothing. Look at my good luck charm. It's a Korean traditional hair pin, 비녀.

Turtle: Sounds funny. 비-네-?

Rabbit: No. 비녀. It was used to keep the hair pulled back tightly a long time ago in Korea. It is not only a hair pin. It's a work of art. It's so beautiful. So, I believe it will give me good luck and it will make me taste the beauty of victory.

Turtle: Yours is really nothing. Mine is better. So, I will win.

Rabbit: Are you crazy? I'm sure of victory. Not you.

Narrator: Hey, you guys! Stop fighting with each other, or both of you will receive a yellow card. OK. I will explain the rules of today's race. You have to run 10 kilometers. At the 5-kilometer mark, you will find a sign. You have to find the thing the sign says. The

The round girl comes on the stage holding a sign which says“At the same time, the turtle is now."

Turtle: What a tough race! My gosh! (Pulling his clothes angrily) Where is my opponent, the rabbit? This time, I'm afraid I might lose. I lost my hope. I can't find any excuse to live. I'd rather die than lose.

Turtle puts a hand gun to his head.

Tangun: Wait! I'm Tangun, the founder of ancient Korea. You know, I'm the almighty. It's a pity that you are disappointed. I'll give you a chance. Take this.

Turtle: What's this?

Tangun: This is a Korean fan. If you use it, you will become a ninja turtle: and run as fast as the wind.

Turtle uses the fan several times and gets power.

Turtle: Wow, I've become a Super turtle. (Keeps walking faster)

There is a sign that says, "Riddle. This is the smallest and lightest of helmets. Korean women arm themselves with this.”

Rabbit: This is the smallest and lightest of helmets. Korean women arm themselves with this. What's this? Hmm, it's too hard for me.

Turtle: I don't know the answer, either.

Rabbit: I'm a fast learner, you know. I'm smarter than you. I'll find the answer soon. Bye!

Turtle: Hey! Dream on! Don't you know the saying,“Slow

Kid: I wet my bed. It was not my fault. It happens. It's natural. Nature called me. So....

Turtle: So what?

Kid: Mom made me wear this Kee and beg neighbors for some salt.

Turtle: Ah, I see. So, that helmet is not the answer. I failed again.

Kid: What did you say?

Turtle: Never mind. Be careful, boy. Never wet the bed again.

The kid disappears, weeping.

Turtle: How can I find the answer? Aha, I have a good idea! I should be able to find the answer through the computer.

Computer Man: This is the smallest and lightest of helmets. Korean women put this on their fingers when they sew. We call it a thimble, 골무 in Korean.

Turtle: Bingo! I found out the answer to the riddle.

Turtle goes towards the finish line. When the turtle almost reaches the line, the rabbit realizes what she has done.

Rabbit: Oh, my gosh! (Looking at her watch) Time flies.

The rabbit runs fast. But, it's too late. She lost again.

Narrator: You did well, Turtle. The winner of this game is the turtle. Congratulations, Turtle!
