Tiger mustache

Want to see what can be achieved with patience? For it is the story of Yun Ok, that saved her husband patiently.


One day, a young woman named Yun Ok went looking for a great and wise hermit who lived in a mountain for help. The hermit was a very wise wizard who knew spells and magic potions.
When Yun Ok went into his house, the hermit, without looking up the chimney he was looking, he said:
Why are you here?
Yun Ok said:
Oh, Great Sage. I need your help, I am desperate. Make me a potion! Master Yun insisted Ok-, if you do not help me, I'll be truly lost.
I Well, what's your problem? said the hermit
He is my husband began Yun Ok-. Since he returned from the war it behaves strangely. He is always angry and I hardly speak. Sometimes, when I should be working in the rice field, I see it sitting on top of the mountain, overlooking the sea.
'Sometimes, men who have gone to war behave like returning said the hermit.
'Please, I want a potion to give to my husband, so he will become affectionate and friendly, as it was before.
All right, come back in three days and I'll tell you what we will need for the potion.
Yun Ok again three days later
'I've thought,' he said. I can make your potion. But the main ingredient is the mustache of a live tiger. Bring me his mustache and give you what you need.
-¡El Mustache of a living tiger! Ok- Yun said. How do I do to get it?
If that potion is so important, you will get hit the hermit said. He turned his head, no more desire to talk.
Yun Ok went home. He thought a lot about how to get the tiger mustache. At last it occurred, and one night left his house with a plate of rice and meat sauce on hand. It was the site of the mountain where he knew the tiger lived.
Without getting too close to the cave where he lived, spread the food dish, calling the tiger to come and eat, but that night the tiger did not come.
The following night Yun Ok went to the mountain, this time a little closer to the cave. Again he offered the tiger a meal.
This continued all night, getting closer to the cave, a few more steps than the night before. Gradually, the tiger got used to seeing her there.
One night, Yun Ok approached a few steps from Tiger Cave. This time the animal took a few steps toward her and stopped. The two stared at each other in the moonlight. The same thing happened the next night, and this time they were so close that Yun Ok could talk to the tiger with a soft, soothing voice.
The next night, after looking carefully Yun Ok's eyes, the tiger ate the food she offered. After that, when Yun Ok went at night, he found the tiger waiting on the road.
When the tiger had eaten, Yun Ok could gently stroke his head with his hand. Nearly six months had passed since the night of his first visit. In the end, one night, after petting the animal's head, Yun Ok said:
Oh, Tiger, generous animal, he must have one of your whiskers. Do not be angry with me!
And he ripped one of the whiskers.
The tiger did not get angry, as she feared. Yun Ok went down the road, not walking but running, with mustache clung tightly in his hand.
Over the moon, he went up the mountain to see the hermit. He had barely arrived when amenecido:
- I have it! I mustache tiger! Now you can make the potion you promised me for my husband to come to be loving and kind.
The hermit took the mustache and examined. Satisfied, because he really was Tiger, he leaned forward and dropped it into the fire in your fireplace.
Oh lord! She cried the young woman, anguished What have you done with the mustache! Why have you thrown into the fire?
Explain to me how you got it, 'said the hermit.
Well, every night I am going to the mountain with a meal. After a long wait, I was gaining confidence tiger. She treated him with kindness and was very patient. I finally gave his mustache.
Yun Ok went to mourn, I thought that all his efforts had come to nothing. The hermit approached and said:
'I do not need the mustache. Yun Ok, let me ask you something: Is it more cruel than a tiger man? Does it respond less to the affection and understanding? If you can win with love and patience love and confidence of a wild and bloodthirsty, no doubt you can do the same with your husband. You do not need more magic than you yourself have.
Yun Ok ceased to mourn and returned home ready to be patient and get her husband.
