The Meaning Behind the "Half-Faced Mountain"

           The Half-Faced Mountain was a story that was passed from generation to generation. The importance of this story was enormous, because many cultural values reflect directly upon the plot of this folk story. The moral of this story was that we should never take anything for  granted, and that there is nothing that can be gotten without a price. This story stresses the evils of greed; the anonymous author that created this myth clearly believes that everything is to be achieved through a valid process, and that nothing is for free.
