There is a myth for the founding of Old Joseon which is the first country of Korea.
Long ago, there was Hwanin who was king of heaven.
He has a son who was Hwanung.
Hwanung thought that he would liked to live with the human at seeing the earth.
Hwanin gives three gods of the wind, the rain, and the cloud, and the king's men of 3,000 to Hwanung.
Hwanung came down to Taebaek mountain with them, and ruled the human, and taught about the right and the wrong.
Someday a bear and a tiger came to Hwanung, and ask him to become a human.
Hwanung promised them that they can become a human if they pray for 100 days in a cave while eating only the garlic and the mugwort.
The tiger gave up after few days, however the bear endured it.
In the 21st days, the bear became a woman.

This is so exciting, Sanghee. I have loved these stories since I was a little girl. My hero is Bear Woman. She is the soul of strength and endurance and patient obedience to God. I want to be just like her!
