The Story of Hong Gildong
Authorship not stated
You learn faster than your tutors can explain, and lift a stone weight two servants carry between them — and none of it can be used, because your mother is a concubine and the law names your place. You play Hong Gildong, forbidden to call your father Father. Then your father's wife brings in a diviner from the east gate, who says the boy will surpass a king and kill his kin. The strong-room door is barred from outside. At midnight a crow calls three times, and the window opens.
