About This Book
Wonderfully illustrated, this popular children's tale is part of a collection of
Korean folk tales published with the hope that foreigners, especially children,
will gain a better understanding of Korean culture. It's summertime and a granny
is about to be eaten by a tiger. She convinces him to wait until the fall so she
can harvest her crop of red beans and make him red bean porridge. Harvest comes
and she fulfills her promise. While making the porridge, she becomes very sad
thinking about how the tiger will eat her after he finishes his bowl of
porridge. Her tears are noticed by different things in her household such as a
chestnut, turtle, straw mat, mortar and even some dog poo! They promise to help
her if she gives them each a bowl of her delicious red bean porriddge. When the
tiger shows up expecting a tasty dinner of red bean porridge and Granny, her
friends come to her rescue.
