The Two Brothers

- Heung-bu and Nol-bu(Korea folktale)

 There was two brothers in a village. The elder brother's name was "Nol-bu" and the younger brother's name was "Heung-bu." The two brothers' father had a lot of money, but he passed way soon. When the father died, he said, "I want two of you to keep good relationship." The two brothers said, "Yes" to his father.

 However the elder brother, "Nol-bu", was greed person, so he wanted to get all of his father's properties. He and his wife said to his brother like this, "Get out of here. This house and money are mine." The younger brother, "Heung-bu" and his wife were kicked out of the house. He and his wife bore 10 children after kicked out. His family circumstances was not good, so he went to the brother's house. He beg and said, "Oh, brother I have 10 children. They have no rice to eat. Please help us." He beg and beg again. However, Nol-bu didn't accept his brother's request. Nol-bu's wife also neglected Heung-bu.

 One day, there was a nest on the roof at Heung-bu's house. One of the swallow fell down from the nest, and the leg of the bird was broken. Heung-bu found that the swallow and cured the bird. After 2 months later, the swallow visited  Heung-bu's house again and gave seeds of gourd. Heung-bu kept the seeds safely and then planted the seeds on the roof. The gourds grew. Heung-bu and his wife split the gourds in two. Surprisingly, there were a lot of money, clothes and foods in the gourds.

 On the other hand, Nol-bu heard the rumor. He found a swallow and broke its leg artificially and then treated it. As same as Heung-bu, the swallow gave seeds of gourd. After gourds became bigger, Nol-bu expected he got a lot of money from them. He also split the gourds in two. Suddenly, monsters came out of the gourds and broke the Heung-bu's house. The monsters deprived all of the money. Nol-bu regretted his behavior and beg to his brother. Although Nol-bu sorrowfully requested, Heung-bu never accepted.

 Heung-bu suddenly became a rich person. He became a parvenu. He didn't know how to manage money and properties. In addition, he didn't accept his brother, Nol-bu. He spent a lot of money gambling. Finally, he became poor again. The two brothers are selfish and greed. At the end, two of them spoiled each other.

Revolution for Good Quality Magazine

 I will introduce an editor-in-chief, Sim-geun Song in "the Hongik Tidings." He was born in Gim-hae where located in Gyung-sang province. Before he entered high school, he moved in Seoul. He served in the army. After being discharged from the army, he entered Department of Law in Hong-ik University. He applied "the Hongik Tidings", English magazine in Hong-ik University in March, 2009. He became a cub reporter with me. He learned many skills for writing articles in the semester and summer vacation. He passed the promotion exam and became a real reporter. He wrote many interesting articles by working hard in the field not by sitting in the chair. He became an editor-in-chief and he is still now. Before he became an editor-in-chief, the magazine had a theme and many reporters found contents which was fitted into the theme. For example, the theme of October number of "the Hongik Tidings" was fortune. Reporters found articles about fortune. It was very interesting way to find materials, but it was hard to find the theme for a magazine. He changed the way to find materials for the magazine. He guaranteed reporter's freedom of selecting materials. He also changed the size of magazine. The magazine was originally A4 size, but it was too large to carry the magazine in bags for women and it was difficult to read. He changed the size smaller than the size it had. Everyone knew there was a need for a paradigm shift, so he started a revolution for "the Hongik Tidings."

 Did he dedicate to only reporter's life? If you think the answer is yes, it is your mistake. He has a nice girl friend. He also joined volunteering for foreigners in Korea. He also has a good school records. Actually it is very busy to take part in making magazines but he do everything well and all the people around him praise him. He uses his ability to the full in all the field, and he will continue to do so.
