We live in Russia,
the biggest country in the world
Among it's 150 nations there are Koreans.
Korea is our neighbour in the very far east.
Koreans call their country Cho Song
which means "The country of morning freshness".
A hundred and fifty years ago Koreans started to settle in Russia.
Koreans are very hard-working.
They are probably the best at growing rice and vegetables.
Then they use it to cook dishes of incredible taste
Kimchi
Kil- Kum
And the traditional rice bread
Tok
Koreans have amazingly short last names
For examaple : Tzoi
Pak
Lee
Kim
There are a lot of Kims
Even more than Smiths in England and Ivanovs in Russia.
Holidays in Korea are also unusual.
They celebrate New Year according to the Lunar Calendar.
koreans think that the first person, who climbs a high mountain
and sees the full moon on New Year's Night,
will be happy all year long.
Koreans have many incredible tales
and each one is like a precious gem.
Chepogi based on a Korean tale retold by N. Garin-Mikhailovsky
A long, long time ago, during the rule of Emperor Suk-tson-tan,
there lived a poor man in Korea
His little hut stood on the edge of the village, by a lake.
His name was Kim
In summer he was fishing,
and in winter he gathered brushwood
and exchanged it for his rich neighbour's rice.
Oh!
Once Kim was fishing
and thinking how he will bring his neighbour a lot of fish.
The neighbour will take his basket
and give Kim a little bit of rice.
But Kim will say:. No-o-o!
Give me thi-i-i-i-is much
And Ki m will finally eat until he's full!
Where's my fish?! It's stolen!
I'll teach you!
They'll snatch it again...
I'll show you!
Stolen again?!
So Kim decided to catch the thief
Who are you?
I'm Kim the poor man. And who are you?
Me?! I'm Tiger the wizard.
How's that?
Look!
That's my fish
I fished a whole lot of time
and wanted to get a whole lot of rice for it,
and you guzzled it all!
You're a mean, mean wizard!
I'll teach you now!
That's not true.
I'm a kind wizard
and I'll give you a fortune for your fish.
And you'll have plenty of rice, money,
plenty of everything, but this fortune is not yours.
Use it until the owner comes.
It will be a big man called Chepogi.
Remember - Chepogi!
Hey, Kim!
Is this all yours?
Yeah, mine!
Er:How's that?
So Kim started to live happily!
Sleeps as much as he wants,
eats as much as he can.
He lives in clover!
But one day he had a dream.
Hey!
Open up!
I'm Chepogi! And all this is MINE! Get out of here!
And Kim remembered
that all this fortune around him - isn't his.
And that he'll have to give all of it away:
Whoever that Chepogi is, I'll kill him!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Please love and care for this orphan child.
His name is Chepogi.
So Kim adopted the little boy named Chepogi.
And then his fortune became big enough for everyone :
for Kim himself, his son Chepogi,
and for all the children of his children,
and all the grandchildren of his grandchildren.
So Kim, if he hasn't died yet, still lives happily.
