TIGER01

The 'Tiger Eyebrow' legend is a folk tale that has been passed down in Korea for a long time.

The story goes like this: A man lived by farming after getting married. However, even after a long time had passed, he and his wife were unable to have children. He also suffered from various misfortunes in his work and became very miserable. Thinking that it would be better to die than to live like this, the man decided to enter a tiger's den and die. But an old man he met inside the tiger's den felt sorry for him after hearing his story and comforted him. The old man then plucked one of his own eyebrows and gave it to the man, telling him that if he put it on his own eyes, he would be able to see his past life. It turned out that the old man was actually a tiger in disguise, and what the man took with him was the tiger's eyebrow.


The tiger's eyebrow had a remarkable ability to show a person's past life when held against the eye, and when the man used it to see his wife's past life, he discovered that she had been a chicken in her past life. The man had been human in his past life, but his wife had been a chicken, which was why their relationship was not good.


One day, the farmer received guests from a faraway place, and after checking the past lives of the couple, he found out that the husband was originally a rooster and the wife was human. The farmer and the guest couple realized that their relationships were not good, so they decided to swap wives and lived happily ever after, experiencing good fortune in everything they did.
