  "In
the middle of the Choseon Dynasty, a country woman named
Mrs Kim had a son.
Three days after her son was born, he was running around
the house and even got up onto a shelf in the room. When
Mrs Kim saw this, she was surprised and thought that the
boy would become someone great one day. Then a feeling
of fear overcame her because at that time some family
members would often face a horrible death from the political
enemies of an influential person. Rather than face this
peril, Mrs Kim decided to kill her son. So while the baby
slept, she killed him by smashing his head on a rock.
A few days later, at the foot of the mountain a swift
horse appeared behind the village. The horse looked desparately
for its master throughout the village. Eventually it drowned
in its pursuit in a deep puddle of mud". Today it
is called " Young Ma So ". Young Ma So has the
sad boy's soul showing his ambition taken away by his
parents ignorance and foolishness as well as the soul
of a his swift horse. |
