Synopsis
A hungry tiger, feared by all, descends from the mountains in search of food. When he overhears a mother calming her crying child with the mention of a dried persimmon, the tiger is filled with confusion and fear, believing the persimmon to be a creature more terrifying than himself. This classic Korean folk tale explores themes of mistaken identity and unexpected courage.
