Abstract

en_US The set of materials sold for 9800 Won includes the twenty-eight page colored booklet, a monochrome workbook, and an audio cassette. There are thirty such sets in the series. I can remember being overwhelmed when I saw them all on the wall in Kyobo; there were dozens of little kids sitting nearby dutifully reading books. The colored booklet features thick, sturdy pages and excellent color reproduction. The art is cartoon-like, simple, and direct. This version of the story has the turtle moving to get out of the water and conversing with a fish along the way. The fish asks him to describe the outside world. When he mentions sky and says but you need to fly, the fish asks if the turtle can fly. He answers Well, uh... of course. After envying a butterfly, the turtle engages an eagle in conversation and pleads to be taken up into the sky. Though the eagle tells the turtle to hold on tight, it is actually the eagle that is holding the turtle. The turtle soon begs to be taken up higher. Finally, the turtle asks to be let go, since he believes that he can fly now. When the turtle cracks into a thousand pieces, the image of the dead inner-turtle is almost funny (26).
