A thief steals the King's most precious treasure, but he gets more than he bargained for, in this lively retelling of a classic Korean tale.

I have heard some stories about "why the sea is salty" but I don't know this story. It was interesting. I want the millstones too. However, theft is bad. If we did bad things, they would come back to ourselves. This story says that. By the way, I want to taste sweet sea.

Long ago, the sea wasn't salty like it is today. Once, it tasted sweet.

I wonder why the sea was sweet.
