The Magic Amber: A Korean Legend

This Korean legend, akin to "The Goose with the Golden Egg," tells of how a single act of generosity and kindness multiplies into riches for an elderly sharecropping couple "a long time ago" whose landowner levies taxes that sap their winter stores. The landowner steals the magic amber stone, but like all such tales, all comes full circle in the end.

This is a story about a poor couple whose generosity is continually repaid to them - first, when they get a magic amber that fills their ricepot and second, when the villagers they've helped keep paying them back even after the couple loses the amber.

Bit long, though.
