The rock woman knew what he thought. She was like a pounding stone, but she could move around and work. She cooked a whole deer for Wŏn and the girl.
Wŏn said aloud to the girl: “You must eat this meat or she will get mad.”
The girl thought: “I can’t eat so much.”
Dûnwa jumped up and down and raised a terrible dust.
The man said: “I told you not to think anything about this woman.” They were both frightened.
When night came, Dûnwa was a woman. The three slept in the house. Just at daylight Dûnwa was a rock again. She said to Wŏn: “To-night your new wife must sleep in the bushes; I will sleep in the house.”
That night Wŏn said aloud to the girl: “Will you stay around here, or shall we go off to a new place?”
The girl said: “Get ready; we will go away from here. I am afraid of Dûnwa.”
The next day Dûnwa was busy eating; she didn’t miss Wŏn till almost night. Then she began to track him. Wŏn and the girl had got to a big river when they heard her coming a long way off. She was mad; she made a noise like heavy thunder.
Wŏn was scared. He asked: “What can we do? If she overtakes us she will kill us. If we could cross the river, maybe we could get away.”
