Overview

A story about conflict, communion, and forgiveness between humans and animals.

Book Intro

The story starts out with a water deer making a mess of a kitchen garden. But by the end of the story, the garden belongs to the deer. The attitude of the people towards the animal changes over the course of the story. Rather than the mess being an issue, the kitchen garden should be shared with this life form.

Recently, there have been frequent reports in the news about wild animals appearing in human settlements. Wild boars appearing in the city, wild animals crossing the roads and damaging crops, and so on. But why do these animals have to come down to human settlements in the first place? It's because they don't have enough to eat. There is not enough food in the rivers or the forests like there used to be. People' desire for more and faster resulted in the rapacious development of the mountains and fields, and even the last remaining have been taken over by humans.

The writer does not directly mention the issue of wild animals, but instead finds a solution through a kitchen garden. The small, but sincere solution embodies the true sense of caring. It is something readers should also consider practicing. Before thinking that wild animals are damaging the crops, let us reflect on the fact that humans invaded their habitats first.
