Two Brothers and their Magic Gourds

"Two Brothers and Their Magic Gourds" is a Korean folk story about a man who had two sons living in a farmhouse that was a mansion where there was enough for all to share. Before he died the father bid his sons farewell and reminded them to be king to their neighbors and to live together in perfect harmony. After the old man joined his ancestors the two sons did live in harmony, but the eldest, Nolbu, was a miser who was married to a selfish woman, while the younger son, Hungbu, was a very gentle man who would say nothing rather than cause an argument. Nolbu and his wife take advantage of Hungbu and his family until Nolbu finally ordered Hungbu and his family to leave. (Amazon.com)
