A poor ferryman is crossing the quiet river 
and suddenly she changed into a whirlpool. 
The swing bridge is in full swing 
with the east wind 
and the fading twilight sky 
looks like a watercolor painting. 
I can hear the ferryman's whimper 
who hides at all. 
A dealer, poor girl's money lending uncle 
who takes her cunningly to a Manor for housekeeping. 
I read the ferryman's teary eyes 
where it stuck the hidden words there. 
'Be careful my little red riding hood 
when sweeping the garden 
specially under the thorn-bearing trees 
don't be in barefoot. 
I am waiting for you my sleeping beauty 
and whatsoever I promise you to marry 
in the next equinox'.
