First Scene: The Aesthetics of Laziness (Pig's Dream)
Once upon a time, there lived a pig in a wide, green meadow. His nickname was 'Pig with Good Fortune'. Every day, he just slept and ate. "They say that if you dream of pigs, you'll get rich, but I dream of pigs every day, so I have good fortune!" His only pleasure was lazing around. While other pigs were diligently digging through the mud and searching for food, he only pursued an easy life, like "lying down and eating rice cakes."
Second Scene: Unexpected Crisis and Ignorance (Pig's Foot and Horseshoe)
One day, a pack of hungry wolves appeared in the village. The wolves swept through the entire village, and Mr. Pig's lazy life was also put on emergency alert. The other pigs scattered and ran away, but Mr. Pig didn't know what to do and just stamped his feet. As if he had 'put horseshoes on pig's feet', he didn't know how to do anything. It was a situation where the saying, "A pig can be a good person, but a housekeeper can't be a good person" was perfect, as he couldn't even properly judge what was dangerous.
Scenario 3: Late regret and realization (whether he was bitten by a pig pen or a cat)
When Mr. Pig was in danger of being caught by a wolf, he finally regretted his laziness. "Oh my, whether he was bitten by a pig pen or a cat, I can't die like this!" He desperately started looking for a way to escape. Fortunately, he saw a sturdy wooden house nearby, and he desperately ran away and barely saved his life. It was the moment when he realized the cruel reality that "pigs are killed when they die, but people are buried when they die."
Scenario 4: The beginning of a small effort (Holding a pig's tail)
Having saved his life, Mr. Pig decided to change. In order to avoid the threat of the wolf and survive, he first started to dig a small hole with a desperate heart like 'holding a pig's tail'. There was no more time to be lazy. As the saying goes, "A pig in a well is a pig," he now had to learn and work hard at anything.
Scene 5: The fruits of his labor (Pig money)
After working tirelessly for several days, Mr. Pig completed a sturdy and safe underground burrow. Now he could escape the threat of wolves to some extent. His efforts piled up like "pig money," giving him the valuable asset of safety.
Scene 6: Unexpected luck (Pig fortune)
One day, a coveted wild ginseng was found near the burrow Mr. Pig had dug. This was such great luck that it was called "pig fortune." He sold the wild ginseng, built a sturdy house, and cultivated a field, living a prosperous life. Now, his life was incomparably richer than before.
Scene 7: The joy of sharing (Pig food)
Mr. Pig, who had become rich, did not ignore the lazy or poor like he had in the past. He shared "pig food" with his neighbors using the abundant grain from his field. Now he was no longer called a lazy pig, but a diligent and kind-hearted Mr. Pig.
Scene Eight: True Change (A Piglet Cannot Shed Its Black Fur)
Of course, things were not easy from the beginning. As the saying goes, “A piglet can never shed its black fur,” his once lazy habits did not completely disappear. Sometimes, he was tempted to go back to being lazy like before.
Scene Ninth: Passing on Wisdom (The Three Little Pigs)
However, Mr. Pig pulled himself together so as not to repeat his past mistakes. And based on his own experiences, he taught the young pigs the “dangers of laziness” and “the importance of hard work.” Just as he taught the three little pigs how to build a sturdy house, he passed on his wisdom.
Scene Ten: Happy Community (The Piglet’s House of Luck)
Eventually, Mr. Pig became a respected leader in the village, and thanks to his efforts and sharing, the village became a peaceful and prosperous place like the “Piglet’s House of Luck.” There was no longer any threat from wolves or neighbors suffering from poverty. Mr. Lazy Pig became the 'hero of life reversal' who brought happiness not only to himself but also to the entire community through true effort and sharing.
