According to Korean folklore, long time ago, in a village, there lived a mother with her son. There are 3 sons. The mother, who is very old, has a feeling that her age is not long. The mother finally asked all her children to come together and give an explanation to her children.
"My children, I am old, maybe I too will soon leave this world. I will give 3 wills to you,” said the mother at length.
The mother finally gave a clear stone to the first child. The second child gets a bamboo flute from the mother. Meanwhile, the third child got worn clothes from the mother.
The first and second children looked astonished and protested. They think the object has no price at all. The youngest was silent, he only happily accepted his mother's description. Whatever the description of the mother, it is always well received by the youngest child.
The mother finally explained to them that this thing had the power and magic to help them.
"My first child, you try to see this," said the mother.
The mother rolled the clear stone so that a gold coin was seen emerging from behind the stone. The first child received the stone with sparkling eyes. He was both unbelievable and happy to accept the precious stone that his mother had given him.
"My second child, look at this," explained the mother, ringing the bamboo flute.
Not long after, a large crowd of soldiers appeared before them. The second child finally happily accepted his mother's description of the bamboo flute.
The mother finally explained to her youngest child that if she wore those shabby clothes, the child would not be seen by others.
They finally each have a magical item inherited from their mother.
The eldest, who is arrogant, always shows off his magic items in front of the crowd. The news finally reached a greedy king's daughter. The princess finally ordered her guards to find where the person who had the object was.
"Try to show, what greatness your magic stone!" asked the princess.
The eldest son then proudly rolled his magic stone. The magic stone rolled while taking out gold coins. Several times the magic stone was rolled, so that gold coins were scattered on the palace grounds. The greedy princess finally caught the magic stone and ordered her guards to catch the eldest son. The eldest son was finally imprisoned and could not do anything about it.
The second son who has an arrogant character also often plays his bamboo flute. Playing a bamboo flute, a group of soldiers appeared. Everyone was shocked at the same time shocked by the situation. The news finally reached the greedy princess. The princess finally ordered that the second child be invited to the palace.
"What's so special about your magic flute, young man!" asked the princess.
"Well, my lady, when this flute is played, a group of soldiers will appear who will protect and obey our orders," explained the second child proudly.
The greedy princess finally smiled slyly and said "Wow, how great, can I try it?"
"Of course," replied the second child.
The princess plays the bamboo flute. Not long after, a group of soldiers appeared. With great cunning, the greedy princess ordered the soldiers to arrest the middle child.
"Catch it that person!" ordered the princess, pointing at the second child.
The second child was finally thrown into prison. He realized that he was being framed, but he couldn't do anything about it. His flute had been snatched away by the greedy princess.
At home, the youngest child is anxiously waiting for the arrival of his older siblings. However, according to some people in his village, the youngest brother was brought to the palace. The youngest child feels a bad feeling towards his older siblings. He then put on his worn clothes and went to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, the youngest managed to sneak in. When he reached the palace hallway, he heard the sound of a stone rolling in one of the rooms. It turned out that the room was the room of the greedy princess. The princess was playing with the magic stone that took out the gold coins. Next to her is a bamboo flute belonging to his second brother. Finally the youngest knew that his two brothers must be in a state of danger.
The youngest finally thought of how to free his two brothers. He finally went to the back of the palace to think of a way out. Behind the palace is a forest with lots of apple trees. Some of these apples are red and some are yellow. Because of thirst, the youngest finally ate the red apple that was nearby. However, how shocked the youngest was, because his nose was getting longer. Finally, the youngest eats the yellow apple whose tree is next to the red apple tree. The youngest's nose finally returned to its original shape.
Finally the youngest found a way to trap the greedy princess. He then picked as many apples as possible and disguised himself as an apple seller.
"Apples ... apples .. delicious apples ..," cried the youngest.
The greedy princess listened to the screams of the apple seller who was the youngest child. She then ordered her guards to snatch the apple. The apple looked ripe, sweet and fresh. So that it makes the greedy princess tempted to eat it.
"My guards, take the apple. I want to eat it!" ordered the princess.

The princess finally ate the apple greedily. Over time, the princess's nose grew longer. She was finally surprised by the situation. The princess shouted for help to return her nose to its original shape.
"Please, help me ...," said the greedy princess with confusion.
The situation went awry, the guards tried to find a healer so that he could heal the princess's nose. In that situation, the youngest child put on his magic clothes and immediately sneaked to get the magic stone and bamboo flute belonging to his brother.
Luck befell the youngest child, the prison guard happened to be fast asleep. The youngest child managed to free his two brothers from prison. They finally managed to break free, despite being chased by the palace guards. With alacrity, the second son played his bamboo flute to face the palace guards. All of this was due to the help of the youngest son who was kind and not arrogant. They finally survived and were able to gather together at home.
