Book Intro

The Great Chinking Adventure of Five Hundred and Ten Won

 

One dark night, a remarkable thing happens in the pile of coins at Lucky Supermarket. Two coins escape to the outside world! They are Orongy, a five-hundred-won coin, and Sipjo, an elderly ten-won coin. It happens as old Sipjo tosses and turns, unable to sleep after hearing the news that ten-won coins may vanish from the world. When Orongy calls on old Sipjo to comfort him, he learns the story of the “piggy bank,” where all kinds of coins come together, become friends, and even help fulfill the desperate wishes of the piggy bank’s owner! Moved by the story, Orongy persuades the elderly coin to embark on an adventure. They break away from the other coins that try to stop them, and sneak out of the supermarket, only to find they are surrounded by danger. The duo get stuck to the bottom of a man’s shoe, end up in his pocket and are even separated. After they roll eagerly to a traditional market, they try to help children who want to eat tteokbokki but don’t have enough money. However, they are mistaken for a bug. That’s not all. They go in search of a child who owns a piggy bank to make his dream come true, but they suffer a mishap when they come across a terrifying neighborhood dog. But whenever they face such challenges, Orongy and old Sipjo cling tight to each other and overcome the crisis. The moment a five-hundred-won coin unites with a ten-won coin to become five hundred and ten won, there is nothing the two coins fear. Before this, Orongy used to think that he was insignificant and had not much of an existence. He even imagined what it might have been like if he was born as a cooler unit of currency, like the fifty-thousand-won bill, which people liked. But his thoughts change after he sees the elderly Sipjo, always proud despite being a small unit of money. After many twists and turns, Orongy meets a child named Junseo. And now, inside Junseo’s piggy bank, Orongy has a new and marvelous dream!
