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.

16:53

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

18:56

Ernie Banks are making dinner. The

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.
