Once upon a time, in a faraway village, lived two brothers named Hungbu and Nolbu. The younger brother, Hungbu, was a hard worker; while Nolbu, the eldest, was mean and dishonest. Before their death, their parents wrote a will stating that their two sons had to share the family home and its riches, at the same time living in peace and harmony. But one day Nolbu's wife tried to convince her husband to burn the will and throw his brother Hungbu and his family out of the house since all they did was waste their riches. Upon overhearing this Paduk, the family dog, stole the will and brought it to Hungbu so that he might share his riches with his brother and leave the house. But Hungbu, being an honest man, took the will and gave it back to his brother wholeheartedly. Nolbu and his wife realized that the will had been stolen by Paduk, who had always been more faithful to Hungbu. So, fearing that the dog might steal it again, they did not hesitate to kick Hongbu and his family out of the house, without sharing the family riches with them. They also did not allow Hungbu to take Paduk along with him. So Hungbu and his family left the house and went to live in Hungbu's hut in the fields. Hungbu's son, named Makdong, was sick and his family had nothing to eat. So Hungbu went back to ask his brother for some food for his sick son, but Nolbu drove him away and only let him take the sickly Paduk away with him. Hungbu's family continued to get by as best they could, when one day Hungbu and Paduk found a wounded sparrow and nursed it back to health. Thanks to the family's care, the sparrow was able to fly again and returned to its kingdom of Kangnam. 　　Upon returning to its kingdom, the bird told the whole story to the Queen of the sparrows, who decided to show her gratitude to Hungbu by giving him some special seeds. The sparrow flew back to the granary barn and gave Hansi, Hungbu's wife, a pumpkin seed. So Hongbu planted the special seed and it grew to become a great pumpkin full of treasures. They then decided to shaire their riches with the poor farmers. Upon discovering that his brother had turned rich and that he was handing out his wealth to the poor rather than to him, Nolbu angrily paid a visit to Hongbu's house. Upon arriving, all he did was insult his brother for not having given him a thing and therefore discovered the reason of his wealth. After returning home to his wife, he tried to conjur up a plan along with his cat Keapang to get some seeds from the Queen of sparrows. So Nolbu broke a sparrow's leg in order to nurse it back to health. Afer having taken care of it, Nolbu asked the sparrow for some pumpkin seeds. So the sparrow returned to its kingdom of Kingnam and told the "truth" to the Queen of sparrows. After having heard of Nolbu's malice, she sent him some very special pumpkin seeds. Nolbu planted the seeds as soon as he received them. The pumpkins grew quickly, producing demons and curses that befell Nolbu and his household, leaving them penniless. So the dishonest Nolbu ended up poor, while the honest and hard-working Hungbu lived a long and happy life..
