The story of Pinky Promise.

I want to tell the story why people join their pinkies when making a promise. Those who watch WINDSTRUK (Korean movie) should know this.

         Once upon a time, in a huge, vast country, there was a princess who was very beautiful. Because the princess was so pretty and wise, prince came from all over the world to seek her hand. Finally, five princes were left in the final round. In other to choose the best match for her, she gave them a test. She hid her right hand and unfolded one finger. The five princes had to guess which one it was. The last prince show his little finger. That was the answer. So, that sign came to represent a vow of marriage. The prince and the princess could not have been happier.

          But then the Crusades began, and the prince had to go to war. The prince promised to come back alive, crossing his pinky with hers. But ten years passed, and the prince did not return. She did not even know if he was still alive. But since the princess was still so pretty, many people came to ask her to re-marry. She kept saying no, believing that he'd return, but she could not turn them any longer. So, she decided to marry a man who joined pinkies with her.

          One day, a filthy beggar came to the palace. Everyone tried to get rid of him, but the princess called him in, saying everyone deserves a chance. That beggar was her lost prince. The truth was, the prince had been killed on his way home. The soul of the dead must depart after 49 days. That day was the 49th day. In order to keep his promise, the prince returned as a ghost. Finally, the princess found the body of the prince.

                        ~THE END~
