The Piper Page #4

Okay, what's this?

This right here! Huh?

This is a very specially

formulated rat repellent.

If humans sniff it,

it just makes you sleepy.

But the rats?

They can't stand this smell!

If we spread this powder

as a smoke,

it's gonna make all the rats

come out in the open.

Then how do we

make it into smoke?

What's the pride of

this village?

Wind! Wind!

You see these pinwheels?

The wind blows through

the whole village.

I put them in

to check the breeze.

The wind blows like crazy

in a single direction.

So that's where

the smoke will go.

I made the powder quite mild,

but just in case,

use this cloth

to cover your noses,

and... the Chief's house

is the highest in the village,

so everybody gather there, okay?

Then there's this

yellow powder...

This powder here,

it smells something terrible.

But the rats,

they go crazy for this powder.

You saw how

I've spread this around.

The rats are gonna follow this

right out of the village.

Got it?

You really think it'll work?

It'll work. It will!

It'll work, I say.

My Big Brother

is really something.

Since when have

you been so close?

Our shaman has arrived.

It's our shaman.

Blow, wind... blow.

Rats!

Where?

Rats!

Over there!

Why are there so many?

Look, they're coming out there!

I can't believe it.

Father!

Oh my!

Look at how many there are.

They're moving so fast!

Oh no, what's this?

I need to block them.

I'm in trouble!

Damn rats,

I need to head them off.

Young-nam, that's too dangerous!

What's he doing?

How did he know to come?

The white powder!

One!

Two!

Three!

Wow, they're back!

Great job, son.

- Great work!

- Big Brother!

It wasn't me,

it was my Young-nam!

Young-nam saved us!

Big Brother, you're the best!

Wait, shouldn't we all celebrate?

Let's have a village feast!

He's got talent.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Gosh, it can really

move people's hearts,

that pipe.

I told you.

Beasts with ears move

at the sound of my pipe!

Oh my.

Beasts...

That's what they are.

What's with everyone?

Why do you look so sad?

And why don't we take a walk

outside the village?

I'll take the lead.

Sure, let's go.

Let's go!

Come, let's wrap things up.

Thanks to my Big Brother

I'll sleep well tonight.

What a relief that is!

Now I can eat my fill,

and the rats won't take anything.

I really should go.

You have lots of work

in the village, Mi-sook.

What is it?

Only my father and mother

have called me by name.

Young-nam told me

your name is Mi-sook.

I see...

What's with 'Lady Cheongju'?

Mi-sook is a great name.

'Mi' meaning beautiful,

and 'sook'...

Um...

and 'sook' as in Mi-sook.

So nice!

Anyway thanks to you,

we've escaped our troubles.
