About this item
| Description: | This story describes how two hangui studied with a knowledgeable teacher. One of them worked very hard, and one of them didn’t. After five years, the teacher tested them. One of them passed, but the one who didn’t work hard didn’t pass the exam. So, only one of them graduated, and he began his journey. He came to a village, and went to a household to get something to eat. Then the host of the household told him that all the villagers were killed by witches and they were the only household left. Then the hangui helped this family kill all the witches except the biggest. The biggest one only lost one of her feet and then escaped. The hangui then began his journey again. |
