There once lived a woman in an isolated house set far in a Valley. This woman had a son, Hae-Soon, and a daughter, Dal-Soon. One day, as she was leaving to go to the town market, she said to her children, “Hae-Soon, Dai-Soon, lock the door when I leave. A tiger may come down from the mountain, so don’t open the door until I come back.” Tigers appeared frequently in that valley, and the mother was afraid that A tiger might eat her children. After she qave the children strict instructions, She went over the hill to town. The two children waited for their mother to return. After it got dark, somebody knocked on the door. “Who is it ?” ask Hae-Soon. “Hae-Soon, Dal-Soon, it’s your mother. Open the door.“Is it you, Mother ?” Dal-Soon was so glad to hear her mother’s voice that she was about to Unlock the door. Hae-Soon, however, did not think it really sounded like his Mother’s voice. He stopped Dal-Soon from opening the door and said, “You say You are our moher, but your voice is different from our mother’s.” Then the person outside replied, "What do you mean my voice is different ? It is only because I am hoarse from shouting, 'Buy mountain vegetables ! Buy mountain vegetables !' so loundly in the market." D Dal-Soon asked, "If you are really our mother, let us see your eyes through this hole in the door." A big, red eye peered into the room through the hole. It was not their mother 's eye. A tiger, knowing. That there were only children in the house, had come to eat them. "Why are your eyes so red? Our mother has very beautiful eyes," Hae-Soon asked. Then the tiger outside the door said, "children ! My eyes turned red because of the ground red peper I bought in the market." Then Dal-Soon said, "If you are really our mother, show us your hand." The tiger put his paws inside the door. They were covered in yellow fur. “ "Our mother's hand are soft and white," Dal-Soon said. "Why are yours yellow like this?" "It's only because I worked in the garden at my old home in town," the tiger lied slyly. The innocent children believed the tiger and opened the door. The tiger looked like their mother because he was wearing her clothes and had her towel tied around his head. He has eaten their mother in the mountains and taken her clothes. "You waited a long time for me, and you look hungry," said the tiger as he went into the kitchen. "Wait a minute, and I'll prepare your supper." Having deceived the children, he was deciding which one to eat first. The children, however, saw the tiger's long tail sticking out from under its skirt when the beast was entering the kitchen. "Heavens ! It's a tiger !" they cried.
