"The Tinderbox" Summary: A soldier marries a princess and becomes a king. What does he rely on? Courage: Courageous struggles and pursuits are necessary to achieve what one desires, whether it be wealth or love. Wisdom is also required; courage without wisdom is merely a fool's dream, impossible to realize. Compassion is essential—helping others will earn you support. While friends who revolve around money may exist, the friends made out of compassion will extend a helping hand in your time of need.
"The Bottle Neck" Summary: A champagne bottle that constantly dreams of reaching the royal palace's wine cellar is bought by an ordinary person and sails across the sea, soaring into the sky. It has been filled with medicinal wine and seeds, and in the end, it breaks into a bottle neck. Yet, it ends up so happy. That's because it finally realizes: everything around it is what matters most to it. Cherishing what we have is more joyful and fulfilling than chasing dreams.
