About the Book

『The Rabbit’s Liver』 is a traditional Korean folktale that illustrates the power of wit over brute force. When the Dragon King falls ill, he is told that only a rabbit’s liver can cure him. A turtle deceives a rabbit into coming to the underwater palace, but the clever rabbit tricks them by claiming that its liver is left at home. Using its intelligence, the rabbit escapes, reinforcing the moral that wisdom triumphs over strength.
