Inside the cave they were already three beasts: the bear, tiger and monkey. The monkey had entered last without the tiger and the bear knew him.

The monkey  seemed that their supplies were very few so discouraged inside the cave, devised a plan in his mind, get supplies from then, the Tiger and the Bear.

He found the tiger and Watch for several days , the tiger he was doing Taeguk are the basic schemes called "forms" or poomses (or pumses), which are sequences of movements that simulate the fight for the practitioner of a martial art. The tiger was a master of Taigeo Jumeog or Tiger Fist, endlessly practiced to refiner and spend time.

It was a long time doing Taeguk, until suddenly roared, from the stoma, the tiger said:

"Calm down my friend soon get through this and eat whatever we want"

Galus taunting the tiger, the tiger mimicked the voice and said:

"do not fool yourself"

Tiger said:

"who you are,”

Galus said:

"I am your,”

Tiger said:

"Can not be, I do not sound effeminate."

Galus you step grimaced at his face and said:

"This food, this eternal darkness does this for you, we gotta get out of here."

Before Galus could say another word, the tiger roared in fury and ran saying:

"I will not be a man if I have to become effeminate,"  with what came out of the cave destroying everything in its path. 

Galus with a laugh between teeth picked up food left by the tiger and roared with laughter and immediately said:

 "I need more.”

He went to get the bear, so I look all over the cave, he could not imagine that the cave was so large and deep, so I took some time to find the bear.

When he found her, he look around like waiting that betray herself, I hope for a long days to she  to speak, to recreate the symptoms of madness, as he did with the tiger.

He saw she calmly, while occasionally ate of the provisions, watching the bear sitting like Buddha, with her eyes closed, so he approached a little more, to see how to conquer her mind, so he could see the lips of bear moved, so he approached less than a meter to hear what she was saying, suddenly the bear began to change, so he was scared, one began to notice a tingling throughout his body, so he gave some back flips and watched as the bear became a beautiful woman.

A strong but gentle voice rumbled through the cave and said:

"You are spent 100 days in the cave, come out so that I can see you all."

They go out of the cave, the monkey cast a mystical animal and the bear throws woman, came to a green meadow with some trees and large rocks around, which Hwa Nung, lying with his head on a jukbuin, which literally means "wife was bamboo, "the jukbuin is a rigid cylinder woven bamboo strips, hollow inside, which allows air to circulate inside her keeping always fresh.

Hwa Nung  look that came out of the cave, the bear is hacerco woman, she ruboriso, smiling. Hwa Nung look at her and could see she wore silk with a pink blouse clear pastel curved sleeves, red ribbons, which  blouse close  in a cute bow and pink petticoat like roses, this came down to almost touch the floor. The afternoon light made her look very beautiful. Hwa Nung said:

"I will call you Ungnyeo meaning beautiful woman from the bear Tribe. Well now you have what you wanted, so it saves you return to your tribe, tell them that hope  to see  then in the city, to make a big  party."

"Thank you very much my lord" - Ungnyeo said.

"Very happy, bouncing retired Ungyo dancing and singing."

Hwa Nung sat back down at the table and take some tea. I look at Galus, Galus had also changed, his fur has changed from ground coffee to red fire, besides that her eyes were like those of a tiger.  Hwa Nung said:

 "Where's Tiger?"

 "I do not know, Is it my obligation to care for him?"  Galus said.

Hwa Sung looked at him incredulously, frowned and said:

"Sit at my table, Galus" - Galus sat opposite the table in front Hwa Nung

Hwa Nug eat in silence and take a little more tea, looking seriously at Galus, when just ate, he said:

"Balam come to me"

A man with black hair in black suit, appeared as if the wind had brought him.

Hwa Nung said:

“ I finished my lunch please leads the table home and the dishes."

"Yes my lord."

Balam make one Poomse in which it looked like it appealed wind between Galus and Hwa Nung, so under the table  started to form a Hurricane gradually was lifting up, the table, until only the column wind could be see, how Balam come he left.

Hwa Nung, he was a man with a deep oriented black eyebrows and a black mustache that was perfectly aligned with dark pink lips, which was expressing a smile of joy, for the show that  Balam doing his work.

Once Balam disappears, Sung Hwa long talk with Galus.

After noon in the clearing of pine trees, where Hwa Nung met with the tribe of the tiger and the bear. A strong wind was rising, when an animal like a small red fire wolf fell from a tree, then another and  countless fall from the trees and huge tide of fire you could see on the  clearing of pine trees .

They all look at each other and they were afraid that saw the tiger eyes and ran to direction List to all.

Time after Galus was heading towards his tribe, knew the weight carry about his life, having failed to try to become the human race and have become this little animal.

Galus walk 4 feet, when before he moved through the treetops, but now he have to walk through the woods.

He walked with his head down, he saw a pond and a huge stone on the shore of the pond, Galus snuggled on that rock, looking at the depths of the pond contemplated suicide because he had failed. Gradually he began to see his reflection, that animal with tiger eyes, wolf face different body and that of his former body now resembled that of a small, red fire wolf.

For a long time he look at that pool thinking:

“I should or should not end this shame.” 

When he was about to jump an elderly man pulled him from his long red fluffy and white-tipped tail. Not allowing him to jump, Galus upset again look back, I saw an old man, dressed in black Suit as a robe stylized judge at the edges with Asian designs, the robe came almost calves, where he left a pink pants, while he used some interesting sandals.

Galus shouted:

"Let me go" - the old man smiled and said:

“What are you doing."

Galus said:

" I'm trying to throw myself to the pond" -.

The old man pulled the tail, gave him a couple of spins on his head, throwing him into the pond.

When entering the water, he saw the bottom of the pond, watching a crack the size of a man, so as it was there, he decided swim in to investigate.

Holding his breath, as agile as he could swim can style, entering the crack found a sphere the size of the tooth of a bear, he picked it up with his mouth. When picked the sphere, Galus felt like fire that burned the whole being, until sense as his eyes lit, a rock hit his head and his life spark before his eyes, suddenly seemed like the earth tremble, so crack open as they were a mouth, swallowed him.
