Grandmother Mago

By Dae Eun

I prepared the story of Mago Hamil. “Hamil” translates as grandmother in Korean, and Mago is her name. Do you know how the Korean Peninsula was created? According to legend, it was made by Mago, the grandmother. The story is simple. She lifted up the sky, and her knees became mountains. There is a secret: her hands also became rivers. This story is closely connected to the idea of Mother Nature, because she physically created the land and all of nature. And sadly, that is the end of the story.
