One million won for smelling the baked bread
 
- Kang, Sinkwan -

There was a bakeshop, whose owner was a very greedy man. One day in the morning, the greedy owner was baking bread and was about to take out the well-baked bread. There was a man enjoying its savory smell. He was living next door to the bakeshop. The owner had the behavior of making everything relate with money. A greedy idea occurred to him at the moment. He said to him, You have been enjoying a my savory smell, living next door. Now, you have to pay for that. The total comes to one million won.

Who would admit his ridiculous request? The owner legally brought an action against him over the matter. The matter was being talked about, and the whole village watched the trial with zest.

After listening to the owners point, a judge told that his contention made sense. Finally, the judge made a decision that the neighbor had to pay for that. The neighbor couldnt help paying one million won for just smelling bread.

The owner was all smiles, holding the money in his breast. How happy he was! Then, the judge stood up and gave the final announcement to the owner.

Now, you should give the money back to him. As your neighbor enjoyed a savory smell but did not take your bread, you have to be satisfied with just touching the money. If you had enjoyed enough, give the money back to him.

The whole village gave the judge thunderous applause at the moment of the announcement. The owner, who was as greedy as he could be, just disgraced himself in public.
