Book Information & Summary
Written and illustrated by Kim Hye-ri
'My Way', the main character, was reborn as a fish with a tree on its back after its death. In the past life, ‘My Way’ was a mean kid and never stuck to his master’s rules. He could not have suffered more due to a huge tree on his back. One day, however, he accidentally met with his master and begged for his help to get out of being himself as a fish. Thanks to the master’s help, he could finally realize his wish. Then, he also asked the master to make a wooden fish and to let people beat the wooden fish day and night, because he wanted other people to learn the lesson from him. This is the origin of ‘Wood-Fish’.
The story teaches us the lesson that people will eventually be punished for their bad and mean behaviors, but if they seek out forgiveness with true heart, they can be forgiven in the end. Moreover, the story provides us with the importance of soulsearching.
