a beautiful widow.

In a certain city, there resided a beautiful widow. Despite facing the challenges of life with three young siblings, she decided to make a living by crafting and selling hotteok on the streets. One harsh day, as she was selling her hotteok, an elderly gentleman approached and inquired, “Ma’am, how much does one hotteok cost?” The widow promptly replied, “It’s 1,000 won.” Without hesitation, the old gentleman took out a thousand won from his wallet and handed it to the widow. He offered a smile and started to walk away. "No, you must take a hotteok," insisted the widow. However, the gentleman maintained his smile and replied, "No, it's okay," before continuing on his way. The beautiful widow couldn't help but think, ‘There are truly some peculiar people around…’ The words slipped from her lips without much contemplation. To her surprise, the old gentleman returned the next day and, as before, left behind a thousand won without taking a hotteok. This routine continued day after day, regardless of the weather or the season. A year passed, and on a snowy day filled with Christmas carols, the old gentleman didn’t break his tradition. In front of the widow, he left a thousand won with a cheerful grin, and, as usual, walked away. Observing the familiar scene, the widow's face showed signs of a significant decision. With quick steps, she followed the gentleman, appearing somewhat bashful. As she caught up with him, the widow spoke clearly, "Hello. That~ The price of hotteok has gone up!” 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆
