For #MythologyMonday on the theme of #games: In Manchon-dong Suseongu in Daegu, behind the military base, there are two hills called 형제봉 Hyeongje-bong, the Brothers’ Peak. The sharper-peaked one is called 형봉 or Elder Brother Peak while the duller one is called 제봉 or 매봉, Younger Sibling Peak.
Legend has it that there once lived two siblings in the area with incredible strength, a brother and sister. They made a bet who could pile up earth the highest by the end of the day. The brother carried the earth by scooping it up in his shirt, while the sister used her skirt. Since her skirt was broader she piled up more earth, and the brother, angered, kicked the top of the hill she had piled up, dulling the peak.
To which I say: Did you consider wearing a skirt yourself instead of being a petulant, petty potato
