The tale of Sim Chung

A long time ago there lived a blind man, Sim.

The blind man had a daughter and the daughter's name was Chung.

Chung lost her mother when she was very young and grew up being fed by the neighboring mothers.

Sim Chung grew up beautifully.

"Father, thank you for raising me, even without a mother."

Sim Chung devotedly took care of her father.

One day, while working until dark she headed for home quite late.

"Father must be very worried because I am so late."

Chung hurried home as quickly as she could.

As for blind man, Sim, he couldn't wait any longer for his daughter at home and went out to see if she was coming.

"Chung, Chung"

Blind man Sim, was heading towards the creek while calling out for Chung.

"Help me! help me!"

Just then a monk was traveling by and went to rescue blind man, Sim.

"I cannot see, whoever you may be, thank you very much"

"I am a Buddhist priest from Mt. Yong-Du. Offer 300 bushels of rice to Buddha and you will be able to see."

"Oh no, I 'm sorry. I don't even have one bag of rice, let alone 300 bushels."

Blind man, Sim returned home, he did not eat and worried everyday.

"Father, is there something worring you?"

Sim Chung became worried too.	- continued next week
