Description:

Long ago, the story goes, the sea was sweet enough to drink! So how did it become so salty? The answer lies in a magic millstone that could grind out anything its owner wished for — gold, jewels, even spices. When a crafty thief tricks a palace guard, steals the millstone and sails off to sea, he greedily wishes for a great pile of salt… but forgets to ask how to make it stop! A funny, satisfying "why story" retold from a traditional Korean folktale, told in short, clear sentences for growing readers, with Sara Rojo's bold, colourful illustrations.
