Hok lee learns a lesson
Hok Lee lived in a small vilage long ago in ancient china. He worked very hard during the day.
Everyone in the village thought him to be a hard working quiet man. What they did not know was that at night when they were asleep Hok Lee snuck out of the village and ran with a group of robbers. He did
very bad things with the robbers and would sneak back to his home just befor the sun came up.This continued on for a few years until one morning when he woke up and looked in the mirror.
Hok Lee let out a shrik and stared at himself horified. The whole side of his face was swollen and discolored.He imideatly went to the village doctor, who after looking him all over told him it was not a physical alliment. There was nothing he could do. He told Hok Lee that it was a spirts doing. Hok Lee had angered him by doing somthing very bad.
The doctorr told Hok Lee that the only thing he could think of was to hard for him. Hok Lee begged
the doctor to tell him, he was desperate and would try anything. The doctor sent him home . The people
in the village were talking behind his back and making fun of him. Hok Lee went back to the doctor
and offered to pay him to tell him what to do. Again the doctor sent him home. A few days later Hok
Lee again went to the doctor and begged him for his help.
The doctor finally gave in and told him he would have to go to a certain part of the woods,on the
first night of the full moon.Then Hok would have to find the ancient willow tree that grows there. He
would than need to sit quietly and wait for the spirits and dwarfs that live underground there to come
out to dance. When they saw him they would make him dance too. Hok must dance the best dance they had seen.Then they would allow him to pettion them for their help. But if he danced poorly the spirits
and dwarfs would do him further damage.
Hok went home and waited for the next full moon. Just before dark he went to the woods and found
the ancient willow.He climbed up in another tree near the willow and waited. When the moon came
out the spirits and the dwarfs came out to dance. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. Hok
watched them, he climbed further and further out on the branch, the branch could not hold his wait and
cracked loudly. The dwarfs and spirits stoped dancing and demanded he come down.
Hok started to climb down,but he tripped and fell to ground.The dwarfs demanded to know who
he was and what he wanted. He told them the whole story and begged them to help him.
The dwarfs told him to dance and if it pleased them they might help him. If it didnt they would punish him for bothering them. So it was that Hok Lee tryed to dance.
The dwarfs sat down with Hok Lee in the middle, he was shaken with the fall. He did not feel well
and did not want to dance,but the dwarfs were not to be trifeled with.Begin cried the leader! Begin
cried the others!Hok Lee tried but he was too nervouse and hurt to dance ,he finally stoped and
told them he couldnt
The dwarfs were furiouse,they grew very angry. You came with one big cheek you shall leave
with two!they screamed at Hok.Then the whole group ran off. Tearified Hok past out on the ground.
When he awoke the next morning his whole face was so swollen he could hardly see.He went home
and stayed in his house the next month not talking to anyone.He had to go back and this time dance.
The next full moon finally came and Hok Lee went back to the willow tree and waited.The dwarfs
appeared and aproached him, he stepped forward and the dwarfs laughed at his aperance. The leader
wanted to know what he wanted. Hok begged for another chance. They laughed harder, but then
agreed to let him try.
This time Hok danced and he danced very well.When he was finished the dwarf leader told him they were very pleased with his dancing.Hok Lees face would be cured and then they all left.With his face
well Hok lee swore he would never do a bad thing again. He would never go near the robbers again
and he would work harder at the village.
When the people in the village saw his face cured they had many questions for him. He told
the village people that he had found a cure for all kinds of sicknesses. A rich neigbor who had been
sick for awhile offered Hok a large sum of money to tell him the cure. Hok swore him to secracy then told him. When he came back cured more people went to Hok. Hok Lee lived a prosperouse life until he died.
