This is a fable by

a man named Aesop.

The hares decided that

they've had enough.

Hunted by the lions,

startled by wolves,

and chased by eagles,

they all wanted to eat them.

So rather than living this terrible life,

they decided to jump!

Into the pond and die!

But when they were falling into the pond,

the frogs were startled

and jumped out of the water.

The moral of this story is,

there is always someone

worse off than yourself.

So, don't be too sad or disappointed

because you're in a difficult situation.

If Aesop was in my shoes,

could he have written that?

Definitely not.

HOW TO STEAL A DOG

What?! Getting a divorce?

I knew it, it doesn't even surprise me.

She won't accept alimony? Is she nuts?!

The way I see it, she's the cheater.

There's evidence, I heard some things.

That corner store owner...

Holy cow!

Why are they always hiding!

Afternoon, ma'am. License please.

I only spoke a few words.

License please.

I only said 2 words,

give me a ticket for that.

You can't just pick and choose.

- Come on, mister.

- Mom.

It's embarrassing.

My kid's embarrassed, bill me for 2 words.

So anal...

It's the law, give it to me already.

I'll get off here.

Where do you always go? Your house's far.

That way.

Ma'am, I'll get off here.

Okay, take care.

Whatever, Mr. Johnny Law.

Don't call me that, I'm an officer.

- Okay, Mr. Officer, listen.

- Mom, I'll be back!

Hey! You got private class!

Do you know how much that is?

$250,000.

Been a while.

I'm not just managing a restaurant.

Only the loaded VIPs dine here.

If we dated like I wanted,

you could've been...

Hey, drop it.

When can I start? I'm in a bit of a rush.

Could you decide soon?

Well, I have the hiring power,

but this is my aunt's business.

So there's a protocol. Let's see.

Where's your address?

Come on, you know me.

- She's here.

- Hurry up!

Good afternoon, madam.

She's interviewing for the extra hand...

She looks pleasant.

Wolly, let's go upstairs.

PIZZA HUK:

Don't go there without my permission.

You're not a beggar!

Who cares if my belly's full.

You're wrong!

Did you ever consider

how others would see us?

It's nice to get free stuff

with your puppy eyes.

But life isn't so easy.

Once you're ignored, it's all over!

Hey!

Hi.

I've been following you since the car.

We... we're...

moving to a bigger house.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Dad's pizza shop's doing so well.

I see.

So, we're staying here for just one week.

One week?

The house... isn't ready...

Mom left us these for dinner.

There's hot water at the corner store.

You'll be embarrassed to be with me.

My mom's far more embarrassing.

We may become homeless.

Maybe we already are.

Your mom won't let you play with me.

I won't hate you for it,

we don't have to be friends.

Let's stay friends.

You won't tell anyone?

Not even your mom?

Promise.

I told you I'd get a job right away.

I still got tricks up my sleeve.

So, when do we buy a house?

You said it'd a week,

but it's been a month.

Go back to daycare,

I'll pay the overdue fees.

Say you were on a trip.

I'm okay.

Go and play there. That'd be more helpful.

I can at least do that.

Can't we just go to auntie's?

Not that again.

Because of your pride?

No, it's not about that!

Do you even know what that means?

- I do, thanks to you.

- Seriously!

What's wrong? Not good?

Have another.

Dad's pizza is much better.

We decided not to talk about dad.

Can't you bake it, like dad did?

You know mom can't cook.

She never cooked for us.

Not because I can't!

You can't believe

everything moms say.

Not everything they say is true,

and not everything they do make sense.

If mom was so smart,

she wouldn't have married dad.

Before we buy a house,

she'll drive me insane.

It's not buying, you get a 'house deposit'.

What's that?

It's what adults call it instead.

Is that expensive?

Probably more than $100?

Idiots.

There aren't any $100 deposits nowadays.

You girls don't know anything.

How much is your house?

Saw it during my birthday party, right?

It's so much more than $100.

So how much is it?!

About...

$500?

$500?!

Ji-so!

Did you ask your mom about your party?

What? My party?

Yeah, your birthday's next month.

That's right.

Didn't you want to have

a big party like Min-sup?

Yes.

You don't have to.

Why? Who doesn't like parties?

I don't like parties at my place.

It's like showing off.

Who doesn't have a house nowadays?

I want to do it, a big party at home.

Yeah? Then have your mom call me.

Okay.

Bye.

But you don't have a house.

So I have to get one before then.

I don't understand this!

So beautiful!

$500 PER SQUARE!

It's perfect! It costs $500 too.

It's perfect! It costs $500 too.

Perfect!

But where's 'PER SQUARE'?

Well, maybe beside Time Square?

If so...

it's a bit far from school.

But you still have the van,

so it should be okay.

Go away, children.

Is this house really $500?

Where's your mom?

Can I really buy this for $500?

If you want to know, bring your mom.

Can't you lower the price?

$500 per square meter is very cheap.

It's the best bargain in town.

That must be really great town.

Sure.

$500 PER SQUARE!

Wait, this isn't what I ordered.

You ordered beef tenderloin.

What are you talking about,

I ordered hamburger steak!

- But you...

- Pardon me.

That's enough.

Okay, give me more enough.

I gave you enough.

Yes, one more enough.

You already had enough.

We'll get your order right.

Will it take a long time?

No, we'll cook it as soon as possible.

How many kids does she have?!

Sweetie, did you see me work?

Look.

Isn't my uniform pretty?

Do these look too chic?

Of course they are.

But you sold everything else.

I'll buy them again with the salary.

I'll keep Ji-suk with me.

Why don't you get the laundry done?

Buy yourself some snack.

I'm off.

Mom!

Do you...

have $500?

What are you talking about?

Go on, don't wander off.

Come by after.

Depends.

Huh?

Mister, I only got 8 coupons.

Can I add $2 and get a family size?

You know perfectly well you can't.

Then I'll give you 2 extra later,

can't I get it upfront?

Who gives a free pizza upfront?

Little bugger, life isn't free.

I threw some away because I didn't know.

You can't smoke while kneading.

You still won't get anything.

Hello?

Yes, Gold Villa.

Yes, family size.

Thank you.

Family size is F, and regular is R.

Do you even speak English?

REWARD:
$500

Do you need this?

I'm so tired...

How can a dog cost $500?
