Ondal the Fool and Princess Pyeonggang
Because King Pyeongwon's young daughter cried so often, the King would tease her, saying:
"Since you cry all the time and disturb my ears, you will not be able to become the wife of a nobleman when you grow up. I shall have to marry you off to Ondal the Fool."
The King said this every time, but when the Princess reached the age of sixteen and he tried to marry her to Lord Go of the Upper Division, the Princess replied:
"Your Majesty always said, 'You will surely become the wife of Ondal.' Why do you change your previous words now? Your Majesty's current command is wrong, so I dare not obey it."
At this, the King grew angry and said:
"If you will not follow my command, you truly cannot be my daughter. How can we stay together?"
