- A Favor Using the Weather
- 1 In the winter of 1906 (DG 36), Shin Wun-il opened an herbal medicine shop.
- 2 Before leaving for Gohng-ju County to buy medicine, he went to Sahng-jeh-nim and requested, “The road is too muddy to walk on. Please freeze it to make traveling easier for everyone.”
- 3 “I will grant this favor because people are suffering,” Sahng-jeh-nim said.
- 4 “Bring some wine.” After the wine was brought in, He drank it. The road froze that night and did not thaw until the end of the year.
- 5 Shin Wun-il later said, “In early winter, I spoke of the muddy road, and You consented to aid us. This winter, the road remained firmly frozen, allowing peddlers, medicinal herb traders, and others to travel with ease. Everyone spoke of the great benevolence of heaven.”
- 6 “It is good that traders and common people had this convenience,” Sahng-jeh-nim said.
