This happened a long time ago, when people did not yet know what a mirror was.
One man went to Seoul, bought a mirror, brought it home, and hid it away.
In the morning he gets up, takes out a mirror, and looks at it.
The wife noticed this, was amazed, and as soon as her husband left the house somewhere, she pulled out the mirror. He looks and doesn’t believe his eyes. The young beauty is looking straight at her. A woman ran to her mother-in-law and said:
- Look what my hubby did! I brought my mistress from Seoul. That's where she's hiding. “The woman says this, and she points to the mirror.”
The old woman looked and pulled back:
- This is not your husband, but my old man’s mistress!
The women are standing, looking at each other, unable to understand anything.
The woman looked in the mirror again. Who is there if not her husband’s mistress?
The woman screams, curses, and waves her arms. The one in the mirror does the same.
The woman could not stand such an insult and threw the unfortunate mirror on the floor.
The mirror broke into pieces.
