Book Information & Summary
Written by Lee, Sang-Hee / Illustrated by Kim, Jong-Min
Shim-Woo falls asleep.
He no longer thinks about the cows nor about himself.
A slight smile appears on his face.
Shim-Woo comes out to the pasture to feed the cow. He soon forgets about the cow, because he is so absorbed in catching the fish with his friends. He suddenly thinks about the cow, but the cow is gone somewhere. He wanders about the field looking for the cow and finally finds him. Exhilarated, he goes home riding on the cow. He soon falls asleep for he is so tired. A peaceful smile appears on his face. He forgets about the day and, eventually, about himself.
Just like Shim-Woo, all of us might have an experience to lose something when we were absorbed in something else. And, we also know how delighted we are when we find it again. This story derived its motivation from Ship-Woo-Do (literally, " picture of ten cows"), a picture based on Buddhism. It tells us about the joy of the finder, but also tells us to throw away the joy. With the innocence of a child, we can achieve that state, just as Shim-Woo could do it.
