- Spirits Are Watching You
- 1 Sahng-jeh-nim often said to Ho-yun, “On both your shoulders stand spirits who know whether your intestines are black or white.”
- 2 One day, Ho-yun complained, “I have no good clothes, like a beggar.”
- 3 “You will have enough clothes and food to fill heaven and earth,” Sahng-jeh-nim comforted her. “Why do you complain so?”
- 4 When Sahng-jeh-nim had money, He gave it to Ho-yun to hold onto and said, “The spirits standing on your shoulders are watching you.” Ho-yun could not use the money.
- 5 One day, Ho-yun said, “With that money, I will have some clothes made for myself.”
Sahng-jeh-nim gave her one of His jackets. “Tear this and make a skirt.”
