안녕하세요!
Welcome to week fifty-one of my weekend hobby. Today I made a mythical creature known as Dokkaebi. These creatures of Korean origin have been described in different ways throughout time. But they could be considered a type of goblin. Here’s my version of the Dokkaebi:
There’s a very popular tale involving a Dokkaebi, I think it’s so funny that I want to share it with you as its in Wiki:
One day, a dokkaebi visited a man’s house. Surprised, the kind old man gave the dokkaebi an alcoholic beverage and they become friends. The dokkaebi visited the old man often and they had long conversations together, but one day, the man took a walk by himself in the woods near the river. He discovered that his reflection looked like the dokkaebi. The old man was afraid as he realized that he was gradually becoming that creature. The man made a plan to prevent himself from becoming a dokkaebi and invited the creature to his house. He asked, “What are you most afraid of?” and the dokkaebi answered, “I’m afraid of blood. What are you afraid of?” The man pretended to be frightened and said, “I’m afraid of money. That’s why I live in the mountains by myself.” The next day, the old man killed a cow and poured its blood all over his house. The dokkaebi, with shock and great anger, ran away and said, “I’ll be back with your greatest fear!” The next day, the dokkaebi brought bags of money and threw it to the old man. After that, dokkaebi never came back and the old man became the richest person in the town.
I hope you’re having a great weekend, see you next week with the last of these post to wrap-up a year visiting the folklore of countries every Sunday!
