Part of the story As I recounted my adventure to my father on his sickbed, he got up all excited. “You’re now my son, the son of Kang Doo-pyo! I’ll kill you if you become someone else’s son! I’m responsible for you from now on. Listen to me, do your best. The fate of our house is in your hands!”But even chickens don’t lay eggs every day. How many houses have maids stupid enough to sleep with the doors open in broad daylight? Every ten days or so, I’d be lucky enough to find one to break into.
