The Falling Flower Rock

The falling Flower Rock is in the old capital of Korea at paekjae.

Hundreds of years a go, korea was divided into three parts. At that time, the king of Silla in southest Korea fought with the king of paekjae's in southwest Korea.

The king of Silla was very strong. he attacked the king of paekje's palace.

"Surrender your self ," he called out to the king of Paekje. "I promise that you and your family will be allowed to go free".

The king of Paekje's minister advised him not to listen.

"Donn't believe anyting the king of Silla say's. His word sound fine but if you surrender, you and your family will surely be killed."

The king of paekje had three thousands woman servants in his palace. The leader of them said to him. " Your majesty, please leave with your family while you can. There is secret door at the back of the palace. If you leave  by it, the king of Silla will not be able to see you. One day you can return to rule your country."

Althought the king og Paekje did not want to go, his minister and maid-servants made him do so.

After he had left, the woman servants, who were very brave, continued to fight until they could fight no more. Then they climbed a high rock above the nearby Sacha river and jumped into the cold water. As they all wore white dresses, they looked like white flowers failling into the river.

The korean people have never forgotten their bravery. They rock from which they jumped is now called the failling flower rock. Many people still go to visit it from all over Korea and from other countries too.
