There is a Korean children\u2019s song about a \ub450\uaebc\ube44<\/strong>. A \ub450\uaebc\ube44<\/strong> is a toad. Here\u2019s a video you can sing along to:<\/p>\n

In the song, \ub450\uaebc\ube44<\/strong> became \ub450\uaecd\uc544<\/strong> because \ub450\uaebc\ube44<\/strong> was being addressed in an informal manner. It\u2019s hard to sing to the words \ub450\uaecd\ube44\uc544 \ub450\uaecd\ube44\uc544<\/strong>, so \ub450\uaecd\ube44\uc544<\/strong> was contracted to \ub450\uaecd\uc544<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve analyzed the lyrics, you\u2019ve have noticed that it\u2019s a bit of a strange song. There are some theories as to what the meaning of this song might be. One interpretation is that this song is figurative, not literal. For example the mention of the \ud5cc\uc9d1<\/strong> may refer to a mother, while the \uc0c8\uc9d1<\/strong> refers to the mother\u2019s child. \ud5cc\uc9d1<\/strong> literally means \u201cold house\u201d, but the metaphor for the \u2018old house\u2019 is a mother who is presumably older. In converse, the \uc0c8\uc9d1<\/strong> literally means \u2018new house\u2019, which is symbolic of a newborn.<\/p>\n

Moreover, some toads are known to carry a poison that can harm both animals and humans. This song is a tale about a mother pleading with the toad to taker her life (\ud5cc\uc9d1<\/strong>) in exchange for her child\u2019s life (\uc0c8\uc9d1<\/strong>). So if you were to look at the phrase of the song that goes \u201c\ud5cc\uc9d1 \uc904\uac8c \uc0c8\uc9d1 \ub2e4\uc624<\/strong>\u201d, the mother is addressing the toad and saying \u201cI\u2019ll give you myself, now give me my child\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
