🎭 Script

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a quiet village, lived two brothers—Heungbu 🧔‍♂️ and Nolbu 😠. Heungbu was poor but kind-hearted, while Nolbu was rich but selfish and cruel.

Narrator: One spring, Heungbu found a swallow 🐦 with a broken leg. He gently took it in and cared for it until it could fly again.

Heungbu 🧔‍♂️: “Fly safely, little one.”

Narrator: Grateful, the swallow returned months later and dropped a mysterious gourd seed 🌱 at Heungbu’s doorstep.

Narrator: He planted it, and when it grew, he and his family opened the glowing gourd 🎁. Out came gold, food, and fine clothes! They were overjoyed!

Narrator: Word reached Nolbu 😠, who grew jealous. He demanded to know how Heungbu became wealthy.

Nolbu 😠: “Tell me your secret!”

Narrator: Heungbu, kind as always, told him everything. Nolbu then found a swallow and broke its leg on purpose, pretending to care for it.

Narrator: The poor bird healed and returned with a seed, just like before. Nolbu eagerly planted it and waited.

Narrator: But when he opened his gourd, out came monsters, thieves, and chaos! His house was destroyed!

Nolbu 😠: “Why me?!”

Narrator: Broken and humbled, Nolbu went to Heungbu and apologized.

Nolbu 😠: “I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Heungbu 🧔‍♂️: “Let’s live together in peace.”

Narrator: And so, the brothers reconciled, sharing what they had. From then on, they lived with kindness and harmony. 💛
