00:00While weasel bows, it is either to repay a favor or to seek revenge.

00:03But this young couple stubbornly refused to believe the superstition.

00:06One day, the two of them saw a weasel fall into the river, so the young man kindly rescued it.

00:11Once ashore, the weasel immediately bowed deeply to the young man.

00:14At that moment, his girlfriend told him that she had heard from her grandmother.

00:17That such behavior by a weasel meant it would surely return to repay someone's kindness.

00:21The young man didn't give the matter a second thought, but when he returned home,

00:24he found his grandfather, who was a butcher, sharpening his knife, ready to slaughter the weasel in the cage.

00:29The young man recognized that it was the very same weasel he had saved that morning,

00:32recalling the weasel's deep bow.

00:34He hurriedly urged his grandfather to release it.

00:36His grandfather, however, believed that killing a weasel was a good deed,

00:39so he slaughtered it despite the young man's objections.

00:42Seeing this, the young man felt deeply uneasy.

00:44He told his grandmother about what had happened that afternoon,

00:46saying he had saved the weasel and that it had knelt and cowed to him.

00:49Upon hearing this, his grandmother guessed that it was the legendary weasel paying its longevity visit

00:53and realized that his grandfather had committed a grave taboo.

00:56She hurriedly chased after him to explain the situation

00:59and urged him to seek forgiveness at the Grand Weasel Temple.

01:02His grandfather refused to believe in such superstitions,

01:04saying he was a butcher and could not possibly fear an animal.

01:07Later, when he brought the weasel's pelt to a tailor's shop,

01:09the tailor was nearly terrified to the point of fainting after a single glance

01:12and urged him to believe at once.

01:14Worried about being implicated, the tailor explained that he feared trouble

01:17and the old man asked what exactly had happened.

01:19The tailor told him he was in serious trouble.

01:21The old man didn't believe the tailor's warning

01:23and angrily took the weasel's skin to another tailor.

01:25That tailor warned him never to use the pelt to make clothing or scars,

01:28unless they kill him.

01:29The tailor advised him to bury the weasel and then offer a sincere apology.

01:32Before the tailor could finish speaking, the old man turned to leave,

01:35convinced the tailor was merely pretending to be mystical.

01:38He then departed.

01:39That night, the young man had a dream.

01:40He saw his girlfriend's figure in a fox shroud forest.

01:43We reached out to grab her.

01:44She demanded,

01:45Why didn't you save me?

01:46The young man was confused, not understanding what she meant.

01:49Suddenly, his girlfriend's face transformed into the weasel's,

01:52and she grabbed him by the throat, ready to kill him.

01:53The next moment, the young man awoke with a start.

01:56He realized it was the weasel from yesterday communicating through his dream,

01:59blaming him for not saving him.

02:00He immediately went to find his girlfriend to tell her what had happened.

02:03Before he could speak, his girlfriend began to speak.

02:06She said she had dreamed a strange dream in which she became a weasel and tried to strangle him.

02:09The young man was stunned and promptly recounted his own dream.

02:12His girlfriend was incredulous, unable to understand why they had shared the same dream.

02:16The young man suddenly realized that the weasel had come to seek revenge.

02:19His girlfriend acknowledged that the weasel really was a divine spirit.

02:22But no sooner had she spoken, than she suddenly turned into a weasel herself,

02:25frightening the young man so much that he fell to the ground.

02:27In the next moment, she returned her in normal form.

02:30The young man thought he must have been seeing things,

02:32so he quickly bid his girlfriend farewell and headed home.

02:34However, to his utter shock, an even more catastrophic event was unfolding there.
