Hide Tight, Hide Your Roots! The secret of the birth of ginseng told by the five ginseng brothers

A long time ago, in the deep mountains of Geumsan, there lived five friendly and kind-hearted Ginseng brothers. The brothers adored their morning ritual of bathing in the mountain's hot springs. But one day, while enjoying their usual hot bath, they were discovered by an early-rising old lady. She picked them up and brought them to her house in a basket. What will become of the five Ginseng brothers taken from Geumsan to such an unfamiliar house? This story, reminiscent of a classic folk tale and illustrated in the vibrant colors of traditional Korean folk paintings, highlights the value of small, natural objects in our lives.
