BULGAE: the Fire Dog Who Bites Sun

In the dark country of Kkamaknara, no one remembers what light looks like.There is no sun. No moon. No stars. Only darkness - and a king who wants the light for himself.When a traveling merchant speaks of the sun, the king commands Bulgae, the fiercest dog in the kingdom, to run into the sky and bring it back. Bulgae bites the sun, but it burns his mouth. He bites the moon, but it freezes his teeth. Again and again, he returns with nothing.Or so everyone thinks.But each time Bulgae holds the sun or moon in his mouth, even for one brief moment, light slips through the darkness. For one blink, the people of Kkamaknara see one another - not by voice, not by touch, but by sight.Retold from a Korean folktale, Bulgae: The Fire Dog Who Bites the Sun is a luminous story of courage, darkness, sacrifice, and the power of even one moment of light.A timeless Korean eclipse tale for young readers, families, teachers, and anyone who loves folktales from around the world.
