- A Person Greater Than Heaven
- 1 One day, when Sahng-jeh-nim and Ho-yun were on a mountain, He had her sit down, and suddenly He was nowhere to be seen.
- 2 Scared, she wept loudly. “I am here,” came Sahng-jeh-nim’s voice from somewhere.
“Where is here, You puppy?”
- 3 “You little rascal! I am a person greater than heaven. How dare you call Me puppy!”
- 4 A moment later, Ho-yun called out, “Mister Gahng!”
“Hey!”
“Because You are Mister Gahng, You are a puppy.”
- 5 “Don’t say that,” Sahng-jeh-nim said, and poked her in the left eye.
- 6 He did this to protect her. Though she was a little girl, the spirits of heaven and earth would have punished her severely for showing disrespect.
