The fourth in the ten-part Korean Folk Tales for Children series, The Seven Brothers and the Big Dipper is a story of seven brothers who help their widowed mother so much that they are eventually immortalized as the Big Dipper - seven stars in the sky. Heungbu, Nolbu and the Magic Gourds tells a story of two brothers, one kind and gentle, the other mean and foul-tempered. When they plant some seeds that were brought to them by a bird one day, they watch the gourds grow, opening themselves in a way that reveals the differences between the fruits of greed and compassion.
