• Sahng-jeh-nim in a Foreign Country
  • One time, in His travels to foreign countries,
  • Sahng-jeh-nim visited a place where the gatekeepers had thick mustaches and wore uniforms that were red on top and blue on the bottom.
  • On their heads, they wore narrow brimmed hats, and they held batons.
  • Without even looking at them, Sahng-jeh-nim went through the gate. People came from within and bowed their heads.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim said, “Let us go inside.”
    Standing on either side of Sahng-jeh-nim, the people said, “Thank You for gracing us with a visit.”
  • Inside, Sahng-jeh-nim sat on a chair, and many kinds of exotic food and drink were brought out.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim offered alcohol to Hyung-yul and Ho-yun. Hyung-yul, who could not even bear the smell of alcohol, drank a cup. Ho-yun tasted a little and said that it was delicious.
  • “This is hardly enough for Me,” Sahng-jeh-nim said and had them bring in a big wooden barrel filled with alcohol.
  • He ordered, “Put the barrel to My lips.” When they did, Sahng-jeh-nim drank it all at once.
