Korean stories with Donggyu

[Beginner]From Silence to Speaking | Language Learning Mindset 

从前有一个富人，家里有很多仆人。有一天，他给他们一瓶美酒。一个仆人说：“酒太少了，只够一个人喝，让我们来一场比赛吧。我们每个人都用笔在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好，这瓶酒就让他一个人喝，好不好？”大家都说好。
于是，他们拿起笔，同时在地上画起蛇来。有一个人很快画好了。他看见其他的人还在画着，就说：“你们画得真慢！你们看，我早就画完了！这酒是我的了。”他把酒拿过来，又看了看其他的人，笑着说：“你们还在画呢，那我再给我的蛇画四只脚吧！”
他一边说，一边在画好的蛇上又画了四只脚。可是，还没等他把脚画好，第二个人已经画完了。这个人马上从他手里把酒抢过来，说：“我们比赛画蛇，可是蛇没有脚啊！现在你却给它画上了脚，那还能叫蛇吗？现在我是第一个画完蛇的人了，所以这瓶酒应该是我的！”说完他就开始喝起来。
