This recorded book was narrated by Norm Lee. It tells the story of Sang-hee, a Korean boy whose father is responsible for lighting the village bonfire that signals to other villages and to the King that there is no danger coming from the sea. One evening, Sang-hee notices that the fire is not lit. He runs to his father to find out what happened and discovers that his father is hurt. It becomes Sang-hee's responsibility to light the fire in his father's absence.

Although originally a picture book, the narrative of the story is enough to paint a picture in the listener's mind. The way the author describes the lighting of the first fire that signals the lighting of the second fire that signals the lighting of the third fire and so on, and the description of Sang-hee seeing images of battling soldiers in the fire is very vivid. The narration of the audio book reader does nothing to add to or detract from the story. There is no strongly noticeable change in voice between the three characters who speak throughout the story. However, the narrator is clear and appropriately paced.
