Once upon a Time a young wife named Yun Ok was very sad. Her husband had always been a gentle and loving man. But that was before the war. Ever since he had come back from the war, he was angry, even mean. Sometimes Yun Ok felt fear when she lived with her own husband. Only from time to time did she see a sign of the loving husband she used to know. Now in her village there was a medicine man, a doctor, who lived deep in the mountains. When anyone in the village was sick or hurting, a visit to him would do the trick. Most of the time, Yun Ok felt proud that she could fix her own problems. But not this time. She needed help! As Yun Ok came up to the doctor's hut, she saw the door was open. The old man said without turning around, I hear you. What is the problem? She explained. Ah, yes, he said. It is often that way when soldiers return from the war. They have seen terrible things. It can make them cold and unloving. But what do you expect me to do about it?" Make me a potion! cried Yun Ok. Anything! Whatever it takes to get my husband back to the way he used to be. The old man looked her in the eye. Young woman, he said. This is not the same as fixing a broken bone or curing an ear infection. This kind of thing will take three days for me to think of a solution. Come back then. Three days later, Yun Ok returned to the hut. Yun Ok, said the old man with a smile, I have good news for you. There is a potion that will turn your husband back to how he used to be. But you should know that it needs a special ingredient. You must bring me a whisker from a live tiger. A whisker from a live tiger? said Yun Ok with shock. Such a thing is not possible. I cannot make the potion without it! he shouted. Then he turned his back. There is nothing more to say. As you can see, I’m a very busy man. That night Yun Ok tossed and turned. How could she get a whisker from a live tiger? The next day, she left the house. In her hand was a bowl of rice covered with meat sauce. She stepped quietly as she did not want to wake her husband. Yun Ok went to a cave on the mountainside where a tiger was known to live. She walked up very quietly and set the bowl down on the grass. Then as quietly and safely as she could, she backed away.
