A Cruel Fairy Tale (Hidden Story)
The Rabbit's Bride


Once upon a time, there lived a mother and daughter.

They had a small garden at home.

어머니
The cabbage grew well and fresh this year too.


딸
Yes, that's right

One day, two rabbits came into the garden and started stealing cabbages.

The mother who saw the rabbits said to her daughter

어머니
Those rabbits are ruining the cabbages we've lovingly grown. Get rid of them!

The daughter listened to her mother and headed to the garden to let the rabbits out.


딸
Rabbits, don't eat these, get out.

But instead of running away, the rabbits looked straight into the daughter's eyes.

The daughter looked at the rabbits' red eyes and said as if she was possessed.


딸
Wow... you have such pretty eyes

The rabbit, who had been staring at his daughter, soon left the garden.

But the rabbits came back the next day too.

The mother handed the broom to her daughter and said:

어머니
Come on, beat those thieving rabbits up with a broom.

어머니
So that those guys don't steal cabbages again.


딸
How can you tell me to hit those pretty bunnies! I can't do that.

어머니
Don't you know that animals need a whip to listen?! No matter how well you tell Tyler, he won't listen to you.

The daughter turned around and said


딸
I'll take care of sending it back.

어머니
Huh! Animals need to be beaten to listen!

The daughter approached the rabbits.


딸
Hey bunnies.

The rabbits didn't run away when they saw the approaching daughter, but stared at her intently and then turned back.

어머니
You thieves! I won't let you steal our cabbages again!

Mother beat one of the rabbits roughly.


딸
Ouch! Stop it!!

The rabbit was beaten with a broom and died with its head blown off and its entire body crushed.

어머니
Huh, the guy who ran away must be too scared to come near, right?


딸
Ahh... poor rabbit... sob...

The runaway rabbit watched this scene from afar.

The rabbit that I thought would never come came again the next day.

어머니
That crazy rabbit is back again! This time I'm gonna beat him to death!


딸
Stop it! It's just a helpless rabbit. I'll send it back.

어머니
Oh my, you fool.

After some time, the mother finished her chores and went to find her daughter who hadn't come home.

어머니
Why isn't he home yet?


딸
Raindrop- raindrop-

My daughter chewing on cabbage with her eyes looking tired.

어머니
Whoa! What are you doing?!


딸
...Why did you do that, why did you kill that helpless rabbit? Why on earth did you do that?


딸
Are you going to kill this rabbit too? Why would you kill a helpless animal...?

어머니
Hey... come to your senses-

The mother saw a rabbit sitting next to her daughter and swung her broom and shouted.

어머니
You unlucky bunny! What have you done to my daughter!!

The rabbit ran away into the forest to avoid the broom.

어머니
Oh no... running away!


딸
Gasp... gasp... gasp...

The daughter sat down, breathing heavily.

The next night, late at night, the daughter was awakened by a strange noise.


딸
What does this mean...?

The daughter went towards the sound and found a rabbit in the garden.


딸
Rabbit, why are you crying here alone?

The rabbit stared intently into his daughter's eyes and then ran into the forest.

The daughter followed the rabbit as if possessed.

The deeper the rabbit went into the forest, the more it resembled a human.

After walking for a while, the rabbit turned around and looked at his daughter.


토끼
You followed me?


딸
You can speak, huh? I'm sorry about yesterday. You must be sad about losing your partner.


토끼
Yes, I am very sad, my partner was a newlywed who had only been married for a day.


딸
Oh... I'm sorry, Rabbit...


토끼
I'm so sad I don't think I can be alone tonight.


토끼
Could you come to my house and stay with me just for tonight?


딸
Yes, poor rabbit... I can stay with you if it soothes your sorrow.


토끼
(Snickers) Oh... Really?

The daughter followed the rabbit and arrived at the rabbit hole where the rabbit lived.


딸
I guess this is your house.

The daughter fell asleep hugging the rabbit.

How much time had passed, only my daughter was in the rabbit hole.


딸
Ugh... where am I?

The daughter ran home anxiously.


딸
This must be the direction to our house...

After wandering through the forest for a while, the daughter arrived home.

I followed the rustling sound and found a red-eyed rabbit in the cabbage patch.


딸
Oh my, the rabbit is here again...

At that moment, the rabbit looked at the daughter and then wiggled and transformed into a human form.

He stood in the middle of the cabbage field and looked at his daughter.

With the mother of a daughter who collapsed with her head eaten off...


토끼
(Sigh...)

The story of a rabbit who lured a weak-hearted daughter into the forest and went to find her to avenge her by killing her bride.
