00:00:14.208 --> 00:00:20.791
There was a young man, who enjoyed nothing but archery until he was 20 years old.

00:00:20.791 --> 00:00:27.750
He wasn't interested in working, or even in marrying a woman.

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:32.125
Finally, his father shouted at him in anger.

00:00:32.125 --> 00:00:37.625
“Don’t come back until you’re married to the minister's daughter.”

00:00:37.625 --> 00:00:47.166
The poor young man left home, with only his bow and arrows.

00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:51.458
After a long day of walking, he felt hungry.

00:00:51.458 --> 00:00:57.125
Just at that moment, a bird flew around him and began to sing.

00:00:57.125 --> 00:01:01.416
“What a strange sound!

00:01:01.416 --> 00:01:06.333
I should catch it. I’m very hungry.”

00:01:06.333 --> 00:01:12.833
The young man caught the Si-re-reung bird, plucked its feathers,

00:01:12.833 --> 00:01:17.291
and then enjoyed the meal.

00:01:17.291 --> 00:01:25.291
However, when he took a step, si-re-reung

00:01:25.291 --> 00:01:28.916
He took two more steps, “Si-re-reung, si-re-reung.”

00:01:28.916 --> 00:01:33.958
Then three steps, “Si-re-reung, si-re-reung, si-re-reung.”

00:01:33.958 --> 00:01:42.166
“Oh, wait! The noise stops when I stand still."

00:01:42.166 --> 00:01:48.750
He dusted off his buttocks, and a feather fell off him.

00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:55.208
A strange noise with the feather! And no noise without the feather!

00:01:55.208 --> 00:02:00.291
He fixed the feather to an arrow and went back on the journey.

00:02:00.291 --> 00:02:05.625
But the long journey made him hungry again.

00:02:05.625 --> 00:02:11.083
Just at that moment, a bird flew around him and began to sing.

00:02:11.083 --> 00:02:16.583
The young man caught the Pee-jook bird, plucked its feathers,

00:02:16.583 --> 00:02:21.125
and enjoyed the meal.

00:02:21.125 --> 00:02:25.625
He continued his journey.

00:02:25.625 --> 00:02:28.583
After taking one step, “Pee-jook.”

00:02:28.583 --> 00:02:31.958
After taking two steps, “Pee-jook, pee-jook.”

00:02:31.958 --> 00:02:36.791
After taking three steps, “Pee-jook, pee-jook, pee-jook."

00:02:36.791 --> 00:02:40.000
The young man took the feather off his body,

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.041
fixed the feather to an arrow, and went back on the journey.

00:02:44.041 --> 00:02:48.666
“Pee-jook, pee-jook, pee-jook."

00:02:48.666 --> 00:02:52.791
After a while, once again, a bird flew around him and began to sing.

00:02:52.791 --> 00:02:56.708
“Hal-la-poong, Hal-la-poong.”

00:02:56.708 --> 00:03:02.208
The young man caught the Hal-la-poong bird, plucked its feathers,

00:03:02.208 --> 00:03:06.875
and enjoyed the meal.

00:03:06.875 --> 00:03:13.958
The young man continued his way along the road. But after taking one step, “Hal-la-poong.”

00:03:13.958 --> 00:03:17.583
After taking two steps, “Hal-la-poong, hal-la-poong.”

00:03:17.583 --> 00:03:22.041
After taking three steps, “Hal-la-poong, hal-la-poong, hal-la-poong.”

00:03:22.041 --> 00:03:28.541
The young man took the feather off his body,

00:03:28.541 --> 00:03:31.041
“Hal-la-poong, Hal-la-poong.”

00:03:31.041 --> 00:03:36.916
After a while he arrived at a village and

00:03:36.916 --> 00:03:42.666
found a very beautiful girl.

00:03:42.666 --> 00:03:47.458
She was a daughter of the minister.

00:03:47.458 --> 00:03:55.041
‘I'd be so happy if I could marry a girl like that.’

00:03:55.041 --> 00:03:59.541
Soon, the young man arrived at the minister’s house.

00:03:59.541 --> 00:04:04.333
He looked at the house over the fence,

00:04:04.333 --> 00:04:10.125
and the pretty girl was out there in the garden.

00:04:10.125 --> 00:04:14.958
The young man tried to shoot arrows at her.

00:04:14.958 --> 00:04:20.750
Whoosh---He shot an arrow with the si-re-reung feather.

00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:24.916
Whoosh---He shot an arrow with the pee-jook feather.

00:04:24.916 --> 00:04:30.708
Whoosh---He shot an arrow with the hal-la-poong feather.

00:04:30.708 --> 00:04:35.375
First, the si-re-reung feather flew into the girl’s skirt. Thunk!

00:04:35.375 --> 00:04:38.833
Next, the pee-jook feather flew into her skirt. Thunk!

00:04:38.833 --> 00:04:44.291
Finally, the hal-la-poong feather flew into her skirt. Thunk!

00:04:44.291 --> 00:04:50.291
The girl jumped when she saw the arrows.

00:04:50.291 --> 00:04:53.833
After taking one step, she heard “si-re-reung”

00:04:53.833 --> 00:04:57.125
After taking two steps, “si-re-reung, pee-jook”

00:04:57.125 --> 00:05:02.833
After taking three steps, “si-re-reung, pee-jook, hal-la-poong.”

00:05:02.833 --> 00:05:04.333
“Si-re-reung”

00:05:04.333 --> 00:05:05.708
“Si-re-reung, pee-jook.”

00:05:05.708 --> 00:05:09.041
“Si-re-reung, pee-jook, hal-la-poong.”

00:05:09.041 --> 00:05:14.791
Her steps made strange noises

00:05:14.791 --> 00:05:20.833
and her cheeks turned red.

00:05:20.833 --> 00:05:28.458
“Good heavens!” she exclaimed.

00:05:28.458 --> 00:05:34.750
The people in the town whispered and laughed at her when she walked by.

00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:40.541
The daughter became sick from the embarrassing situation.

00:05:40.541 --> 00:05:45.375
The minister called in a doctor and a shaman,

00:05:45.375 --> 00:05:48.458
, but they turned out to be useless.

00:05:48.458 --> 00:05:53.625
Then, the minister put out posters saying

00:05:53.625 --> 00:05:59.833
“Anyone who cures my daughter will receive her hand in marriage.”

00:05:59.833 --> 00:06:06.500
Many men took up the challenge,

00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:09.125
but all of them failed.

00:06:09.125 --> 00:06:14.875
One day, a shabby-looking man came to see the minister and his daughter.

00:06:14.875 --> 00:06:18.125
The minister didn’t like him, but he was so desperate.

00:06:18.125 --> 00:06:23.625
He asked the young man to cure her.

00:06:23.625 --> 00:06:31.458
and secretly he removed the feathers;

00:06:31.458 --> 00:06:38.583
the si-re-reung feather,

00:06:38.583 --> 00:06:44.166
"the pee-kook feather, and the hal-la-poong feather. Finally, the strange noises stopped!

00:06:44.166 --> 00:06:49.958
As promised, the young man married the beautiful girl

00:06:49.958 --> 00:06:54.583
and took her to his father's house.

00:06:54.583 --> 00:06:58.750
The young man’s father was happy to see his son back

00:06:58.750 --> 00:07:01.875
with the minister's daughter.

00:07:01.875 --> 00:07:07.125
The young man and his wife took good care of his father,

00:07:07.125 --> 00:07:11.125
and they all lived happily ever after.
