2. Once upon a time, there lived two brothers whose names were Heung-Bu and Nol-Bu. Nol-Bu was the elder brother who was very mean and greedy. When their parents left a large sum of money to the brothers, the greedy Nol-Bu seized all of the inheritance by force and shared nothing with Heung-Bu.

3. Although Heung-Bu suffered from poverty, he was always kind to everyone. One day, Heung-Bu found a wounded swallow. He took care of this swallow during the winter time. The following spring, the swallow brought a pumpkin seed to Heung-Bu for thanks.

4. It grew into a giant pumpkin and Heung-Bu's family decided to make pumpkin soup because they were very hungry.

5. When they cut it open, there was a lot of treasure inside.

6. Nol-Bu and his wife were very jealous of them. So, they caught the swallow, broke its leg and demanded the pumpkin seed.

7. So the swallow gave them one. But instead of treasure, monsters were inside. They jumped out of the pumpkin and hit Nol-Bu and his wife.

8. They also took all their money and so the couple became very poor.
