Seung Ae Kim's New Translation of Korean Children’s Stories Offer Lessons About Life
(PRWEB) December 24, 2013 -- Translated into English by Seung Ae Kim, the seven short stories written by Ja Youn Kim in "A Song of Pots" all contain their own unique lessons or precious messages about life that will be meaningful to small children.
“Will you allow me to nestle in you? Please?”
“Of course! Don’t just sit there—come on in!”
The cracked pot opened his heart wide to the exhausted wind.
“I am comfortable,” the wind said at last.
“I’m glad I could help. I am really not a useful pot.”
“That’s not true. You are not different from the other pots. What is inside you only makes you look different from them.”
“Really?”
“An empty pot may well be filled with something soon. You need to have hope.”
On hearing this, the cracked pot choked up, unable to speak.
These stories are like beacons, much as the sun shining in the sky and the stars sparkling at night. The plots are based mainly on nature and human relationships.
