0:32
how you can be helpful, you'll see someone play
0:34
the most dangerous game of pictionary ever
0:37
and learn. That the best way to help people might
0:39
just be shoving them relentlessly down a hill,
0:42
the creature this time is a sticky dude
0:44
and the best reason to wear tear away. Track
0:46
there.
0:51
This is listening
0:54
to this episode two seventy one, a
0:56
friend and.
1:02
This. Is a pack guess when we tell stories from mythology
1:04
invoke some incredibly popular
1:07
stories you may think, you know, what was surprising
1:09
or just others stories that might be
1:11
new to? You, but are definitely worth a listen
1:14
real quickly today after the main story,
1:16
but before courage to the week we have a big announcement
1:18
is, is often new product with marking. On so,
1:20
be sure is the ground for that. These stories
1:22
are from Korea and they are three stories about
1:25
helping others, you'll see some different
1:27
ways of helping your neighbor. Ranging
1:29
from giving them cast a pushing them relentlessly
1:32
downhills, the most that with a rich guy
1:34
who, yeah, he can
1:36
be helpful but he doesn't wanna.
1:52
Okay,
1:54
wow, so I feel awkward, the
1:56
poet said, Grimacing Young
1:58
said no, no. no Please don't say
2:01
it was not a reflection on the poet or even
2:03
the beggar's. He was just communicating
2:05
how he felt to a man who appeared
2:08
pretty wise the poet. Thought
2:10
about it. I guess I'm going to get what you're saying. you
2:13
like there are a lot of beggars coming to your Mansion
2:15
because you have so much money and they
2:17
have so little the poet's, it
2:19
the tea, because say, the
2:21
Buddhist priest to rely on donations come
2:23
down the mountain, temples, beg them of
2:25
you. Instead of you sending supplies up
2:27
there to donate or the farmers who are at the mercy
2:29
of the weather coming to you for help with
2:31
your unearned generational wealth.
2:34
The people whom the city from who's persist
2:36
corrupt officials ring cash come
2:38
to you. "Because you rest easy everyday
2:40
of your life and my someone of that feel my
2:43
get close", Young said, "Yeah,
2:46
when he said it like that it sounded kind of bad"
2:48
Then. Ball, it might have said that that's because it was,
2:51
but Young kept talking look, he
2:53
was happy that help he was,
2:56
but as you keep pouring water out of
2:58
a bowl. Soon you don't have any water
3:00
left in the bowl, then as he give all your food
3:02
to your neighbor you have known for yourself.
3:05
The poet understand what he was saying.
3:07
The poet said: "Yes, those were
3:10
barely metaphors, he understood
3:12
he didn't want to give out everything he had because
3:15
then he wouldn't have anything. Well,
3:17
I also don't like
3:19
conflict often be mean
3:22
young inform the poet. How? It
3:24
took a deep breath, okay to summarize, Young
3:26
wanted to be nice, but he also didn't want to keep
3:28
giving money away to those who needed it but
3:30
didn't want them. To know that that's what he was doing man
3:33
offered in want them to dislike him for the,
3:35
poet said. yes
3:37
He could help you out with that. Then
3:40
he took a sip of this tea, young
3:42
Grande weight, really?
3:44
He was just venting to the poet.
3:46
He didn't expect a poet
3:48
to actually be able to help him. He didn't
3:50
expect a writer to actually have been
3:52
a real life skills the. pulitzer
3:55
that none of this was really casting young
3:57
and a good light but Whatever. There.
4:00
He knew of a solution to help ya. It's
4:04
you. That's
4:06
use. The young scratch to
4:08
set. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:11
The poet said. The one. The
4:13
granite statues carved in the shape of humans.
4:16
Then. Even taller than the White Buddha Carbon, a cliff
4:19
not far from sale, not a day's walk
4:21
from here, there were two big white stones
4:23
near cliffs the rich man young
4:25
could. Have them dragged here and carved into
4:27
the to statues, a man and wife,
4:30
and when the to statues were finished,
4:32
the poet to guarantee that no
4:35
more beggars would come to. The gate. The
4:37
and. I won't have to deny them
4:39
money out of my fortune. The younger
4:41
hopeful. "You will not and
4:44
you can see be nice to them zone, never
4:46
know that you didn't want them here in the first place
4:49
or that you worried about them cleaning you out
4:51
because if your let's call it kindness",
4:54
the poet said. A few hours later,
4:56
the poet left it's kinda hard to hang
4:58
out next up hospitality when the host
5:00
is constantly complaining about what he
5:02
calls Freeloaders accepting his hospitality.
5:05
The rich man thought about the plan in the mere yaks.
5:08
Then he wasn't convinced it sounded
5:11
like a lot of work. The contract
5:13
in it out and finding the right servants sounded like a lot
5:15
of work. He wouldn't go to the quarry
5:17
himself but, still he put
5:19
a pin in the idea and continued
5:21
on with his life Then so
5:24
many people kept showing up a
5:26
gut so annoying
5:28
he kept making more and more money and more
5:30
and more people wanted a piece of them. One
5:32
morning, he said, enough was enough and
5:34
sent out word. He was
5:36
in and get some statues.
5:51
Months and months later, the poet walked
5:54
the familiar road. The mill
5:56
year but empty, the
5:58
last time the had been too young House for t
6:01
he had been one of a throng of people on the road.
6:04
If you the rich man whose family had cared
6:06
for this land in it's people for generations
6:09
now he heard the birds
6:11
chirping the stream bubbling and
6:13
the Russell deer in the leaves far off
6:15
he saw them standing above the trees
6:18
the. myriad six A large
6:20
granite statues. Though
6:23
Young had followed his advice he,
6:25
approached the empty gate and found
6:27
a man sweeping the grounds the
6:30
loan servants and the house that used to be
6:32
teaming. the poet asked about the
6:34
master the man pointed a finger
6:36
the main house The bullet looked around
6:39
this. place that had seen better
6:41
days It was dirty and grimy.
6:44
Going into disrepair already the
6:46
put some young PC by the lake
6:49
behind the house. Put smiles
6:52
to raise his arm to wave but.
6:54
the anxiety and young space morphed into
6:56
rage when he saw the poet The
6:58
you. He pointed at the poet,
7:00
telling the man he hoped the poet would return,
7:03
so he'd get what's coming to him. Oh,
7:05
it. Did not run.
7:08
The own grabbed his great top not and shook
7:10
him, asking how dare the poet return
7:12
after giving me advice he did the statues,
7:15
the transportation carving care
7:18
it had ruined yong. The
7:20
had nothing now and it was all because
7:22
of the poet. The elderly poets.
7:26
merely smiles. The
7:29
young stop shaking him. The bullet
7:31
steps back and redo the stairs. The
7:33
did, so he posed a question
7:35
to ya. What would the magic
7:38
young one and from him? The goal
7:40
of the poet advice. Young said
7:42
he. For a way to keep
7:45
the beggars away. The poet
7:47
point in back to the gate past.
7:49
the loan servant young could afford to keep
7:51
in his employer The end. There
7:54
were no beggars that young gate. Young
7:56
said no. No, there weren't. They
7:59
knew that. There was no need for them now, the here
8:01
at the state that Young have brought his line
8:03
to ruin with the statues. Put
8:06
shrugged. Their demands
8:08
shouldn't great about it, the put help the
8:10
on the chief is desired and. No
8:13
more people asking anything of him. They
8:15
wouldn't come to a place where there is nothing
8:17
to be given away. The young snarl.
8:21
Turn to a smile. The
8:24
chapel. That will laugh. He
8:26
side it. Well
8:30
he. should thank the poet then The
8:32
man was truly wise
8:34
and now on the other side
8:37
of it. It would have been better for
8:39
young to go broke, giving his
8:41
money away to the hungry and the needy
8:43
meant to Stone people. So
8:45
young could be mean without being mean.
8:47
He invited the poet again,
8:49
40 this time as a friend
8:52
and the poet accepted,
8:54
but
8:55
wasn't exactly right. You
8:57
can give without having anything to
8:59
give, that's not a great idea. And
9:02
we'll go to the city to see a man who
9:04
has learned that lesson.
9:19
The
9:22
spoon maker was a good guy.
9:24
He was a good husband and father. He
9:26
took care of his home in his children and
9:28
they're always rice and kimchi in the jars
9:30
was home. Then his kids grow up. And
9:32
we'll certainly had more than he need
9:35
it here. Always. run his spoon making
9:37
business well as everyone knew this quality
9:40
and a yeah, I. Mean, I guess everyone needs
9:42
spoons regardless, he tossed
9:44
a few coins here and there and accepted
9:46
people into a shop. The been cast
9:48
some rice to others and so on. He
9:50
knew how the city was hurting and or it's corrupt officials,
9:53
magistrates, you squeeze the people and
9:55
live large off their tax money.
9:58
Like Bruce Wayne. Then. Gonna do
10:00
something about it. There's method was
10:02
donating money and generally being charitable
10:04
and not beating people have to death in
10:07
the street. Who wasn't Bruce
10:09
Wayne down in that he wasn't rich
10:12
and lovers and says that quote: "If you put
10:14
enough raindrops together, you have a river"
10:16
In that river of cash flow to directly
10:19
out of Wu's accounts. Do
10:21
you like the feeling? You are helping.
10:24
Someone had to, he still had a roof
10:26
or said in a way to make a spoons.
10:29
Some people didn't even have that sort of luxury. He
10:32
will be fine. The curb.
10:35
He wouldn't move, actually found
10:37
himself among the number of people who wanted to
10:39
help. Couldn't. afford the brass
10:41
to make spoons or even the meager meals,
10:43
keeping his wife said, so
10:45
he did what most in the city did and
10:47
went to the lenders he just needed. A
10:49
little bit to get back on his feet to buy some
10:52
metal for spoons, then things
10:54
would be good again. He underestimated
10:56
just towel vigorously, the
10:59
lenders would want a return on their investment.
11:01
Though. His spoon sold well, they
11:04
didn't even cover the interest he
11:06
needed to borrow more to pay the original interest
11:08
in and found itself in a spiral three or
11:10
four lenders down. The line and, a few
11:12
months pass do and rough hands
11:14
grabbed him on the way to work and dragged
11:16
him before the judge the judge reviewed
11:18
the case. it was obvious
11:20
that woo didn't have the money He
11:23
dismissed it with, they know, he
11:25
nod towards the man. Until the
11:27
lenders that they should counted as a loss
11:29
and move on. The wonder his goons
11:32
well, they escorted move
11:34
out of the courtroom. The moon and
11:36
home bleeding with his right
11:38
eye swollen so much that he can only see
11:40
out of his left. The loan sharks the told
11:43
him that while there might not be any legal recourse
11:45
for getting their money back. There were other
11:47
ways and he had a week. We
11:50
didn't know what he was gonna do. He prayed
11:52
silently for help, he was desperate. Across
11:55
the good of his house. When something
11:57
jangle at a seat? The
11:59
you. The end. Then. Down
12:02
there on the ground was a string
12:04
of cash coins. That
12:06
will quickly, at this time, in Korea and
12:09
elsewhere throughout Asia, they would string together
12:11
coins by the tens or hundreds or. There
12:13
are a hole in the middle of the coin and string
12:15
itself will be a unit of value. Anyway,
12:18
in the dust path leading up to his house, Woo
12:20
found a string of seven coins. Seven,
12:24
it wasn't much, but it would be enough for
12:26
seen as wife to be able to eat a bit of rice that night.
12:28
The pick five coins off the string. Canada
12:31
and to is visiting, son waved off questions
12:33
about why his face looked like that until
12:35
the sun, the go buy some rice for the family. After
12:38
the son returned and the couple cook the rice,
12:41
the three sat down to eat when the sun
12:43
looked at the string. The
12:45
thought of that, the that there are only seven coins on
12:47
the string. The United, that's yeah,
12:50
that's right. Then pointed. He
12:52
must have missed call it. There were twelve
12:54
because there were still seven coins even
12:56
after the five he sent. Look down,
12:59
wow, yeah, I Today had contained a
13:01
fair bit more head trauma than usual.
13:03
So that could be the case. He
13:06
Shrugged, then he thought
13:08
about it. No, he really remember
13:10
counting 7, he reached down and
13:12
pulled two from the string encountered again
13:15
seven, he put the to on
13:17
the string 7. No
13:19
matter how many he pulled off or put
13:21
on there were always 7
13:23
on the string, Marvel,
13:25
but knew he had to keep the secret.
13:27
If
13:28
you paid off all his debts at once, people
13:30
will get suspicious. The loan. Sharks
13:32
might come for him and discover the magic
13:34
cash string. And if there was anyone
13:37
who didn't deserve to have it, it was them. If
13:39
you was able to keep this a secret. He
13:41
will be able to live, as well as help
13:43
out as City. Though he been
13:45
off his wounds just enough to not get beaten
13:48
or drag before the judge and ostensibly.
13:51
Lived by his well crafted brass spoons
13:54
that night, though he became something
13:56
of a charity vigilante person
13:58
coins ever did under the car. The darkness
14:01
dropping money into beggar's hands and
14:03
then disappearing before they looked up, he
14:05
may pilgrimages to nearby temples in the mountains,
14:08
secretly, pretty large sums and all the donation
14:10
boxes without anyone seen. Everyone
14:12
prospered but. no one
14:15
knew why
14:25
Okay, the magic behind the money string and
14:27
who delivered it, but that will be right
14:30
after this.

The magistrate called the other into his office
16:56
receipts, the younger man did: "I
16:58
look at what what's that?" Magistrates
17:00
said: "Well as he knew they
17:02
all like to steal from the money that people gave
17:04
for taxes, the younger magistrate's
17:06
miles, of course be all
17:08
pervasive corruption, was a big part of why he
17:10
liked working here. The only magistrate
17:12
not is very true, it's just
17:15
there have been some complaints.
17:18
That from the justice system are the people they
17:20
can't do anything. For me other
17:22
corrupt officials, they were complaining
17:25
that someone was taking their
17:27
unfair share of the people's cash,
17:29
the younger magistrate guest. The
17:32
anything with him? Builders had
17:34
no they didn't know who it was but
17:36
it threatened to bring this whole operation down
17:38
and he. thought i'm
17:40
sorry is a corruption
17:42
investigation boring to you Then
17:45
to the younger one, what why are you looking
17:47
at the window? The younger didn't respond.
17:51
It just. The pointed behind
17:53
the magistrate who called the meeting. There.
17:56
Along the top part of the window was.
17:58
a group of coin
18:01
Then. Dance and alone. The
18:03
whole Conga line and groups of five
18:05
to seven coins bumping along the
18:07
outside of the window. Those man
18:09
rose. And ran
18:11
outside, they looked up there
18:14
in the sky was a string of
18:16
coins you to really be looking
18:18
for it, but if you look, you could
18:20
see them flowing from the opening than the wall for
18:22
the Treasury to. Somewhere.
18:26
The men walked in the need, the shadows. Looked
18:28
up theme. where they were going Until
18:31
they found the destination. spoon

18:36
were going to get the judge they wouldn't

Ernie Banks are making dinner. The
18:58
said when he returned from his evening charity

patrol. The way he
19:03
looked out for me of a room. Oh
19:05
she thought he was surprising her
19:07
with dinner their. son had gone back
19:10
home earlier in the weeks Who
19:12
then was making dinner?
19:15
They. Both worked and at the stove
19:18
was a goblin up, a book
19:20
so the be the creature corrected, this
19:22
wasn't Europe but Dublin had some
19:24
cultural baggage that the told. The be didn't
19:27
care to have carryover, but yeah,
19:29
ty will bow before the creatures
19:31
pleading with it to please, please leave
19:34
them wooed turned to his wife, Toga,
19:36
be are. notoriously fickle friends,
19:39
the keeping evil menagerie that includes that Tiger
19:41
Wild Board Leopard serpent toad
19:43
and tax above all be
19:45
like to have fun and will resort to ruthless
19:48
pranks if. They grow bored at. all and
19:51
they also help people out when they need
19:53
it like kitten maids children
19:55
and others who might need aid and an unforgiving
19:57
world lose voice stopped him Yeah,
20:00
she understood, but a toga be was he
20:02
didn't need to woo spleen it to her, she
20:04
stepped forward, she could assume that
20:06
he was responsible for the cash strength
20:09
the toga be smile. She
20:11
was correct she'd want to be rude,
20:13
but she had asked while they were happy
20:16
to meet him and express their thanks and person
20:18
or. The evil creature, why
20:20
were they getting that opportunity to night? The
20:23
to debbie finished up the meal. Now
20:26
the soup and said, oh, both first thank
20:28
you so much for the employed second, they
20:30
got to meet him because he was here to tell
20:32
them to run for their allies. The
20:35
couple point. Like. The
20:38
toga be not it. Yeah,
20:40
we probably should have gotten right to it. The
20:42
men are already on their way. There was
20:44
more thrilling this way or Woo Secret,
20:47
the cash strength have been discovered
20:49
and men were coming to at
20:51
the very least beat him up and take
20:54
it. That must a scenario that. Who
20:56
started waving his hands running back and forth
20:59
trying to decide what it takes when his wife
21:01
turned the toga be what should they do,
21:04
but Toga be pointed to her? Give
21:06
the string to her and she needs to
21:08
leave immediately. He
21:10
could make it to a monastery high in
21:12
the mountains in a different province, but only
21:14
if Woo covered her escape. The
21:16
wife kissed blue and went to gather up or
21:18
things, but we stayed with the toby.
21:22
He said he was here
21:24
eighty batman, not regular
21:26
batman. How could he cover her escape
21:28
against that whoever was coming? As
21:31
Wu's wife left the house. The
21:33
Toga be said that will be just
21:35
fine, how was Woo at?
21:51
Is it a badger oh yeah it's a badger
21:54
why are you still drawing the, Metro one
21:57
met? the older magistrates said Wayne
22:00
that the dried, oh, my gosh is not a badger,
22:02
the other magistrates, I have been also what is this
22:05
like a twenty year old episode of "Family Guy" "No,
22:08
that was a jackal and jackals aren't needed to
22:11
career, so maybe to your research
22:13
build", a magistrate said before the judge told them
22:15
both the shut up. This.
22:17
Wasn't actually picks canary the spoon
22:19
make a move was telling them how
22:21
he did the magic to pull the money from the Treasury
22:24
before they beat him to death and took. The magic
22:26
themselves will had met them at the door
22:28
asking them to come in and he listened patiently
22:31
to their charges. These are that he
22:33
would cooperate completely.
22:36
What he needed a large sheet of paper pisa
22:38
screen a rabbit hair pen
22:40
and swimming they. were able to go get
22:42
all this era It took a little time
22:45
meant that was the point will.
22:47
wanted to burn as much time as possible
22:49
he way to but the two guards they brought Then
22:52
we'll recognized in the last time he was dragged
22:54
before a judge, yeah, we
22:56
don't have any particular loyalty to the loan
22:58
sharks or the judge is like beaten
23:01
up guys, so here we are us
23:03
to be doing more to love the two men we're
23:05
inspecting their weapons. They
23:07
were excited to use on woof a
23:10
spoon maker, offer them some of the dinner
23:12
that was on the stove and they thanked him.
23:15
There to keep up their strength for beating him
23:17
after he revealed a secret. Loot
23:19
or causes glad to help.
23:21
The Do Magistrates in their boss, the
23:23
judge returned with the ink pen
23:26
and sheet of paper. In blue got
23:28
to work. Slowly. After
23:31
some ill advised gases in what wasn't
23:34
actually a game, the image began
23:36
to take focus. We'll milked it
23:38
for as long as he could give him his wife ample
23:40
time to get on the road, but soon he
23:42
couldn't help but since the joy. With
23:45
a donkey, the younger magistrate
23:47
said. The illness war, ah,
23:50
why did he put all of his eggs in the badger basket,
23:52
oh, but there's something different about
23:54
it? They didn't have a long donkey
23:56
face, but a human one. What
23:59
human? Then. The younger man,
24:01
Street said. The took a deep breath.
24:04
hoping that the Toga be would make good
24:06
on his promise. And will finish
24:09
the droid, putting the last few lines
24:11
on the face. The to magistrates
24:14
nor does in laughter. Oh,
24:16
wow, yeah? That
24:18
was good, I'mmelt back, their boss,
24:21
who's eyes were meeting his own. In
24:24
the picture. The drawing with of his own
24:26
face on the donkey. Who
24:28
had an essentially
24:30
drawn him as a jack would get the idea?
24:33
He stood at was this Wu's idea
24:35
of a joke. They're
24:37
not his idea exactly.
24:40
The judge said that he had put up with this nonsense
24:43
for too long if we was gonna
24:45
be so bold, they would just have to beat
24:47
the answer out of him steel for the guards.
24:50
No one came. There's no way of
24:52
knowing that the Toby's dinner that they
24:54
had eaten have been least with a powerful direct
24:57
so they were off seen to other.
25:00
business The judge strode
25:02
forward with is walking stick. The
25:04
magistrates to get a hold of Woo. You
25:06
would get the answers himself. They
25:09
didn't, though. They were still laughing
25:11
at the picture. The likeness of the judge.
25:14
How old are so real that move, wait
25:16
what? As the judge step forward
25:18
to strike Woo the drawing, which
25:20
have been specified by the target be, did
25:22
move, it leapt out a fully
25:24
formed a donkey with the face of the judge
25:27
and kicked the judge in the chest,
25:29
sending him sprawling back. Then.
25:31
Half spoke half breed a come
25:34
with me if you want to live and move,
25:36
seen as chance left to top the donkeys
25:39
back in a few bounce the
25:41
creature with out. The window with the guards
25:43
still occupied the
25:45
judge struggling to catch his breath and
25:47
the to magistrates laughing no one
25:50
teaspoon as the donkey with the face
25:52
of a man fled. The city and climbed
25:54
into the mountains they never saw will
25:56
get and. rumor has it that he and his
25:58
wife with the long and happy The remainder of
26:00
their lives in the temple in the mountains
26:03
people came from all around to receive arms
26:05
and will was happy to give them they knew which
26:07
monastery it was because on
26:10
the cliff face leading up to the temple. There
26:12
was the unmistakable painting of
26:14
a donkey with. the human face
26:30
The latest reefer, a few different reasons, move
26:32
with unapologetically himself
26:34
and kept hoping people even when it hurt
26:37
like literally when he was getting beaten
26:39
up by loan sharks but also. The
26:41
totally a mysterious goblin
26:44
like creature. Was? Actually, pretty
26:46
good little guy he earnestly wanted to help
26:48
out the people and his own way, and will you get
26:50
some of that throughout mythology, I mean,
26:52
you could argue that? The trickster in general represents
26:55
people fighting against authority, using their with
26:57
it was nice to have a trickster using his powers explicitly
27:00
for good. The next door is why
27:02
failure, and I guess
27:04
throwing yourself down hills can
27:06
be good. That will be read

28:44
The elderly man make himself up off the
28:46
ground nerf. know
28:49
she was dying A child
28:52
walking on the road behind him. The
28:54
over. Oh no was,
28:57
he hurt the boy saw him stumble on the
28:59
hill the only man picked himself up know
29:01
he wasn't hurt but he was nine,
29:04
the boy asked if he. was sick
29:06
then The elderly man shook his
29:08
head, no, not that. The
29:10
boy didn't know really they.
29:13
were on three years hill He
29:15
had spent his entire life fearing stumbling
29:18
on the sill because if you stumbled and fell
29:20
in the slightest you would live for three
29:22
years, he had failed, he
29:25
had so much hope for the time he had left,
29:27
but now. Limited, the
29:30
boy said, "Wow?" That heavy.
29:33
Yup, the man who is seat. Waited
29:35
until he was steady. The gave
29:37
him a sharp shove, the man toppled
29:39
and sell the old man wailed what
29:41
was the boy doing. The boy didn't answer.
29:44
The waited for the elderly man to rise again.
29:47
The man refused to help this time. That
29:49
it didn't matter the boys of the man
29:51
a third time. The man could
29:53
barely get up on his feet and flee from the
29:55
hill be for the boys shoved him again and
29:58
again he was pleading with the. Men
30:00
stop, why was he doing this, it
30:02
wasn't until they were at the foot of three years
30:04
hill on flat ground? That
30:07
the boy stop relentlessly shoving the
30:09
elderly man. The man slightly
30:12
bruce but not seriously injured asked.
30:15
why had the young man
30:17
done that but the boy didn't answer that
30:19
question just how many
30:21
times the old man had fallen on three
30:24
years hill The only man
30:26
shrug you know eight nine
30:28
times no thanks to the boy. Wow.
30:31
Then you get twenty seven more years.
30:34
You're welcome, the boy went. The
30:36
elderly man was perplexed
30:39
what was the boy talking about. The
30:41
boy had three years for falling. Three
30:44
times nine was twenty seven, the
30:46
elderly man got twenty seven years
30:48
and if he kept falling, he would keep getting
30:51
more years. At
30:53
that moment. The elderly man
30:55
realize something. He had spent
30:57
his entire life fearing
30:59
that hill. Fearing failure.
31:03
You realize that the hill was more than that?
31:05
You can only learn only live by feeling
31:08
every now and then. Maybe not nine
31:10
times in a row that was a little rough, but
31:12
if you live your life cautiously, stepping around
31:14
every opportunity, fearing tripping
31:16
yourself up even a little bit. You're not
31:19
actually living you're.
31:21
avoiding living avoiding the name of been
31:23
safe The elderly man, thank
31:25
the boy for the. Rather aggressive
31:28
lesson. The pier ran back
31:30
together to three years, Hill.
31:33
After that day, the elderly man didn't see
31:35
or failure. Or the hill.
31:38
Again.
31:51
Short,
31:54
but it's stuck with me. I personally
31:57
their failure and I think that's. Can a normal
31:59
good? The with your like, been so cautious
32:01
and so careful, so afraid to make
32:03
a mistake that you never actually, you know?
32:06
Live, that's a problem too,
32:08
I found this particular interpretation online
32:11
and fell in love with a story because of it
32:13
next week we catch up with a guy who.
32:16
Probably should have made fewer mistakes
32:18
or brother fewer lethal once
32:21
the trap finally closes on Robin
32:23
Hood, and we see the seemed outlaw face
32:25
the consequences of a lifetime of defiance,
32:28
the most the as he can come up the other side allies.
32:32
Everyone for years we've brought you stories
32:34
from. Around the world and we're still going to miss
32:36
them Legends isn't going anywhere yeah.
32:40
The but also for the first time
32:42
we're bringing you these incredible tales.
32:44
In Spanish, the sooner the journeys
32:47
in the really the ability you love. And yet,
32:49
Atheists historians sort of the into something
32:51
that. Can we create a new show,
32:53
the Notary Next Bus, and it's, and then
32:55
me something that is available wherever
32:58
you listen to podcasts?
33:07
The greeted US time is the glass done from
33:10
Mexico for so there
33:12
are sea horses and there are sea horses.
33:15
One or the fun little guys who kind
33:17
of plants and sway in the currents others
33:19
are sticky, mythological horses that
33:21
live in water than when a drown in you,
33:24
hopefully in that order. Then. Concept
33:26
of a water horse isn't a new one on the spot
33:28
that, but apparently it was a huge
33:30
deal on the Isle of Man, the place
33:32
this creature calls home people. Would catch
33:35
wind of the Boston and Russia to
33:37
see it only to realize there's just a normal,
33:39
non sticky horse or a guy
33:41
with just bigger than average years.
33:44
The real glossed and was way too
33:46
sneaky to be caught by a crowd. Though
33:49
the it had no problem catching a crowd. You
33:51
might see livestock coming out of the ocean and think.
33:54
Hey. The years.
33:56
If you're figuring Greek mythology, you might have
33:58
other thoughts, but we. Go into those.
34:01
The team of people might see the horse come out of
34:03
the water and attach a plow to it. The
34:05
horse would work for a couple of hours and then
34:07
break for lunch. That
34:09
it would make a break for the water and
34:12
eat the team of workers for lunch, the
34:14
plow would stick to the horse, but then the
34:16
guys would stick to the plow and horse would drag
34:18
them all down to the ocean. Sumi.
34:20
Know the glossed and doesn't just pray on
34:22
people by taking advantage of their desire for
34:24
free labor, it seeks out the lonely people
34:26
of the mountains because it can transform
34:29
into. A human added a link to the picture
34:31
in the show notes, but the depictions range
34:33
from a really bad guy with a whore
34:35
said. Like a bodybuilder put
34:37
on one of those weird horse masks that
34:39
a popular on the Internet for some reason to just.
34:42
The normal guy with poor see years. Like.
34:45
Many creatures it gives human beings
34:47
a fighting chance by not been
34:49
able to transform it's whole body and
34:51
fortunately this creature can just wear a hat
34:53
and you'll be none the. Wiser, that's what happened with
34:55
one family when a little old lady showed
34:57
up at their door, begging for a place to
34:59
sleep at night. The family was happy
35:02
to help and put her in the same bed that
35:04
the families five daughters shares. He.
35:06
Didn't take off the hat until it was dark
35:09
and the daughter on the far to the bed after
35:11
hearing the struggling and the silence of an
35:13
elderly horsley the accent when. Eighteen for
35:16
sisters took off in Iran, diving
35:18
out the window, the only thing that saved her was
35:21
crossing a burn, a flowing Brooke. Something
35:23
that most mythological monsters can't cross the
35:26
street, put forth like it's a happy ending, but
35:28
she still lost four sisters and the
35:30
killer remained at large, so yeah,
35:33
I guess fun thing for her to live
35:35
with. Famous. Story was
35:37
one where a young woman was expecting her father
35:39
was traveling through the wings lot late at
35:42
night, so she opened the door when she heard
35:44
pounding, she told the. Sadly, male figure
35:46
to come inside and might
35:48
have been intrigued when she saw that it was a young
35:50
man who clearly worked out that
35:52
froze when he removed his hat. revealing
35:55
his horse ears. He
35:57
was a gosh and. The yeah, right?
36:00
The point he said she was coming with
36:02
him and grab him of her dress.
36:04
It's sticking to him like everything else did
36:07
she screamed and that rouse the Rooster
36:09
and the barn who freaked out that he was late
36:11
for work and crows. The washed
36:13
and to panic when he thought
36:15
it was nearly dawn and had to get back home
36:18
and pull that the A woman's dress she
36:20
thought quickly grabbed a knife and cut Hemingway
36:23
is the clashed and brush them the home. From
36:25
that day forward, she was very careful
36:28
about who she invited and. Apple
36:30
lessons from this.
36:32
One definitely be careful who you invite inside,
36:34
maybe have them take off their hat first live
36:36
by a flowing stream, if you can, I maybe
36:39
a sewer is good enough for a gutter, I Dunno.
36:41
And say what you want about athletes
36:43
or. Wearing tear away track pants?
36:46
Might just save your life.
