00:00The woman only wanted to do a good deed by giving a piece of bread to a hungry boy.
00:04But on her way home, she tripped on something and twisted her ankle.
00:07Looking down, she discovered it was a real gold nugget.
00:10What she didn't know was that the boy was actually a fallen star of fortune sent from the heavens.
00:15Five years earlier, a master had predicted that among two unborn children, only one would bring good luck.
00:21When the boy was born, a severe drought followed, while rain came the day his younger brother was born.
00:26The entire village believed that the younger brother was the lucky star.
00:29While the older boy was a bringer of misfortune.
00:32From that moment on, his family rejected him, and the villagers avoided him.
00:36When both children turned five, the family decided to move to the city.
00:40But convinced that the boy brought bad luck, they abandoned him in the village.
00:44Left homeless and hungry, the boy tried to buy bread, but the vendor drove him away, calling him a jinx.
00:49The woman, witnessing this, kindly gave him two loaves of bread.
00:53The boy bowed and thanked her sincerely.
00:55Shortly after, the woman was walking home when she twisted her ankle again, and once more found a real gold nugget.
01:02When she got home, she saw her sister-in-law demanding money from her sick mother-in-law.
01:06Without hesitation, she stepped in to stop her, but the sister-in-law insulted her cruelly, pushed her to the ground, and stole the little money she had on her.
01:13Once the sister-in-law left, the woman showed the gold nugget to her mother-in-law, and said they could finally afford to take her to the city for treatment.
01:21The older woman, touched by her sacrifice, told her to use the money to rebuild her own life instead.
01:27But the woman refused.
01:28She had made a promise to her late husband.
01:30She then remembered the abandoned boy, and brought him a bowl of rice.
01:33But upon finding him, she realized he was sick, and, without hesitation, took him home.
01:38Shivering, the boy told her he was afraid of bringing misfortune.
01:42But the woman smiled, and told him she had found money twice since meeting him.
01:45Her mother-in-law also agreed to let him stay.
01:48Grateful, the boy tried to help by fetching water, but accidentally spilled hot water on the grandmother's leg.
01:54Strangely, the leg, which had been paralyzed for years, started regaining feeling.
01:58Before they could fully react, the village mayor arrived with more good news.
02:02The village teacher wanted to rent their old house to use as a classroom, and would pay $50 a month.
02:07The family was overjoyed, but then the sister-in-law returned, demanding more money.
02:11When she saw the boy, she tried to kick him out immediately.
02:14The woman held him tightly to protect him.
02:16The sister-in-law pretended to be destitute, and the neighbors gathered to witness the commotion.
02:21The woman stood her ground, driving her away with a broom.
02:24The boy, seeing all the chaos he thought he had caused, felt like a burden and quietly slipped away.
02:30While the woman was still catching her breath, after finally chasing the sister-in-law off, she realized the boy was gone.
02:36At that very moment, a group of criminals had surrounded him.
02:39Upon learning he had no parents, they tried to kidnap him to sell in the city.
02:43The boy fought with all his might.
02:45And just then, the neighbors, who had heard the cries, came running to help.
