The fourth legend, and this time it's truly spine-chilling!
The fourth installment in author Lee Ji-eun's Legend series, You'll Know If You Eat It: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon, has been published. Set against the backdrop of an eerie forest, a weary-looking grandmother, a snow tiger, a bear, a wild boar, and various other animals all stare intently at one spot, licking their lips. Paired with the title "You'll Know If You Eat It," the cover alone stirs up all sorts of stories bubbling to the surface.
Looking at the eyes staring fixedly at something, bodies leaning on top of one another, and the determined expressions of creatures about to devour something at any moment, you can't help but wonder, "What in the world are they trying to eat?" What is the story hidden between the never-before-heard existence of the "tiger watermelon" and the chant-like phrase "you'll know if you eat it"?
From its cover alone, You'll Know If You Eat It: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon stirs up curiosity and leaves readers licking their lips for the delicious story within.
"I'm not a watermelon. Something terrible will happen if you eat me."
A special watermelon tale that begins with a single small watermelon
On a sweltering day, Grandma Patjjuk sat soaking in the cold mountain stream, lost in one single thought: "A bite of watermelon would be just perfect right now." The animals of the forest, exhausted by the heat, felt the same way. With eyes rounded like watermelons themselves, they scoured every corner of the forest chanting "Watermelon, watermelon!" like a spell. That night, the snow tiger spotted dark stripes peeking through the grass and smiled to himself in triumph.
But something about this watermelon wasn't quite right. Even in the pitch-black night, it glowed brightly as if lit by a spotlight—unusual enough on its own. But then, it spoke! "I'm not a watermelon. Something terrible will happen if you eat me."
Did the watermelon's warning stand a chance against a snow tiger who was already salivating the moment he found it? Undeterred, the snow tiger boldly retorted, "You'll know if you eat it!" and devoured the watermelon whole in one crunching bite...
Was the watermelon's prophecy true? What kind of trouble and twist awaits the snow tiger?
"You'll know if you eat it!" A heart-pounding midsummer night's dream
Despite his big, pale, imposing body, the childlike snow tiger pays dearly for ignoring the watermelon's warning. To make matters worse, he finds himself hunted by the very animals who had been searching for the watermelon. Cornered and desperate, no matter how much he protests his innocence, who would believe him now?
At the very moment he's backed into a corner by his own words, "You'll know if you eat it!", the tiger watermelon is saved from crisis by Grandma Patjjuk, who suddenly appears against the moonlight. Whoosh, swoosh, splash! With the tiger watermelon balanced on her head, Grandma Patjjuk dashes through the wind, leaping over cliffs as if flying through the sky, outrunning the animals before finally cooling off by the stream. "Ah, now I feel alive."
Just as the tiger watermelon relaxes, relieved that Grandma Patjjuk alone recognized him for who he was, he hears an unbelievable remark from her...
What kind of ending awaits this chain of humorous yet eerie events, all sparked by one small wish to taste a bite of watermelon and carried along by the chant "You'll know if you eat it!"?
You'll Know If You Eat It: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon offers a refreshing dash of eerie chills to sweep away the summer heat, sweeping readers into a space somewhere between reality and imagination, dream and waking life. After hearing the animals' accounts of that fateful night—and even taking a little survey of your own—close your eyes and listen quietly. You just might hear a boisterous voice shouting from somewhere:
"You'll know if you eat it!"
