Long ago in Korea, a poor young man shares his only rice ball with a hungry old man on the mountain. In return, he gets a magic stone mill, a maetdol. "Little mill, little mill, round and round!" And out comes rice, warm blankets, and sweet rice cakes for the whole village. But a sneaky thief is listening at the door. He steals the mill and sails out to sea to make salt, lots and lots of salt. There is just one problem: he never heard the words that make it stop! A funny Korean folktale about why the sea is salty, with pictures in Korean minhwa folk-painting style. For parents: a silly tale about kindness and greed. The thief falls into the sea with his boat, and the mill keeps making salt at the bottom. Fun lines to say together: "Little mill, little mill, round and round!" Korean words: maetdol (a stone hand mill) · tteok (a soft, chewy rice cake) The Magic Salt Mill — Korean Folktales for Little Readers, Book 10 Glowwin Books #KoreanFolktale #ReadAloud #KidsStory
