The Importance of Playing a Gold Bag

Jin's older brother Kang was told by a stone horse that he must take two teeth from his mouth and put them in mine. Then I will transform into a living horse, taking you across a freezing ocean and through a blazing fire. If you show no sign of fear, you will get your mother's cloth. Playing a bag of gold now is far more practical than embarking on some dangerous journey to get my mother's cloth bag. So Jin picked up the bag, bid the horse farewell, and climbed down the other side of the mountain. Not toward his mother and brothers, but to the city where he could spend his new fortune.
