(A Story from Korea)

  Once upon a time, there lived two friends named Tukkebi and Tori. Tukkebi means toad and Tori means stone in Korean. One day, Tukkebi felt tired of being poor. "Tori, I want to change my life and live comfortably. What should I do? I can't think of any good ideas." The smart Tori then said confidently, "I know what you have to do, Tukkebi. I am sure we can change our condition later." At first, Tukkebi was confused, but later he agreed and followed Tori's idea.

     Tori sneaked into the King's palace that night. He planned to steal the Royal seal and buried it under the chestnut tree in the King's palace garden. The next morning, the palace became chaotic. Everybody heard the news that the Royal seal was ·stolen and the King was very mad. He ordere9 everybody to search for it, but no one could find it.

     Several days later, Tukkebi came to the palace and faced the King. He said calmly, "Dear King, the chestnut tree has the Royal seal under it." Tukkebi knew where the seal was because Tori told him so. The king didn't know about that and went straight to the chestnut tree in the palace garden. His people started digging and found the seal. The King felt very happy and rewarded Tukkebi with a lot of money.

"I know that you know everything, Mr Tukkebi," she said. Tukkebi was confused, "What do you mean, 'lady?" The maid then confessed, " I was the one who stole the jewellery. I buried it under the' wooden floor at the corner of the building. Because of that,  now he knew where the jewels were, He felt happy and told the king in the next morning.
