fairytale

There was this one Korean story that I read when I was young. It was about a young girl about 16 who lived with a single dad who was blind. She was responsible for doing many things around the house and also taking care of him. It was very hard for her to earn money being a young female. Then, one day she found out that her dad had borrowed some money from the temple and it was time for him to pay them back. However, it was impossible for her to pay the temple back, so she decided to sell herself to fishing boat in order to pay off her dad's debt. She ends up getting "sacrificed" for a successful fishing season by being forced to jump off of the boat in the middle of the ocean. But then, she somehow manages to survive and marries a wealthy man. And after she left, her dad miraculously managed to see again, so he goes out to look for her, and ends up finding her. So the story ends nicely. I thought this story thought me to be selfless, hardworking, and respectful, then in the end, everything will pay off.
