The beautiful Sim Chung is in despair. Her mother has died and her blind father can only regain his sight if he can give the priest three hundred bags of rice. Along comes a fierce river dragon. A rich man offers three hundred bags of rice as a reward for marrying the monster. Is Sim Chung brave enough to do it? Sim Chung dives into the water to marry the sea dragon. Sea-maidens dress her in fine silk robes and feed her the fruits of the sea. Her courage finally melts the dragon's heart and earns her her freedom. She floats to the surface of the water in a lotus flower. But where has her father gone? This beloved Korean folktale of courage and devotion is perfect for the young reader.
