Caveat: 호박이 굴렀다
I found this aphorism in my book of Korean aphorisms.
호박이 굴렀다 ho.bak.i gul.leoss.da pumpkin-SUBJ roll-PAST. A pumpkin has rolled.
This means a stroke of unexpected good luck: the neighbor’s fat pumpkin has fallen off the vine and rolled into your yard. “Look, a free pumpkin. Let’s make pumpkin soup!”
Caveat: Poem #2079 “What the trees saw”
ㅁ Today the sun came, took the snow, the trees were quite relieved 'cause yesterday they'd seen a lot: in April, who'd believe?
