A beautifully illustrated retelling of a traditional Korean folk tale about generosity and the triumph of wit over greed. The story follows a traveller who seeks refuge under a magnificent tree, only to encounter a wealthy landowner who claims ownership of not just the tree, but its shade as well. Using quick thinking, the traveller strikes a clever deal to "purchase" the shade, outwitting the selfish landowner and ensuring the villagers can continue to enjoy the tree's shelter.
