Korean Garden/Dialogue

**Dialogue 1**

> **Sunny** Skylar, you've traveled to a lot of countries, right?
>
>
> **Skylar** Of course! My parents are diplomats, so I moved around a lot.
>
>
> **Sunny** Which country did you like best?
>
>
> **Sunny** I need a theme to decorate this open space with.
>
>
> **Skylar** Really? Hmm, let's see...
>
>
> **Skylar** I'd say South Korea was the most memorable!
>
>
> **Skylar** Especially their traditional gardens. They were gorgeous and made me feel so calm...
>
>
> **Sunny** Really? That sounds so nice!
>
>
> **Sunny** Great! Let's build a traditional Korean garden right here!
>
>
>
> **Skylar** That sounds like lots of work, but I love it! I'll help guide you with my memories of the trip.
>
>

 **Dialogue 2**

> **Neil** Sunny, Skylar!
>
>
> **Sunny** Hey Neil!
>
>
> **Neil** What are you up to? Decorating another area?
>
>
> **Sunny** Yep! We're gonna turn this place into a traditional Korean garden.
>
>
> **Neil** Wow, really? I visited Korea once and simply adored its traditional architecture.
>
>
> **Sunny** I asked Skylar for an idea for this area, and that's what she gave me!
>
>
> **Neil** It sounds fun!
>
>
> **Skylar** Then how about you help me get rid of these rocks?
>
>
>
> **Neil** On it!
>
>

 **Dialogue 3**

> **Neil** By the way, shouldn't a Korean garden have a nice name?
>
>
> **Sunny** A nice name?
>
>
> **Neil** Yeah. The Korean gardens I visited often had really poetic names.
>
>
> **Neil** Like Sigyeongjeong Pavillion. It means "a place where even the moon's shadows can find a place to rest."
>
>
> **Sunny** Wow, that's a good idea! What should I name this place?
>
>
> **Neil** How about Sunny-Jeong? "Jeong" means garden in Korean. So it's a sunny garden built by Sunny!
>
>
> **Skylar** You sure did go out of your way to add Sunny's name.
>
>
> **Sunny** I love it! It's a lovely dual meaning.
>
>
> **Skylar** That's definitely true.
>
>
>
> **Sunny** Great! I'll make sure this garden is worthy of that name!
>
>

 **Dialogue 4**

> **Skylar** Right, we're all set to start building the garden!
>
>
> **Sunny** Good! What should we do first?
>
>
> **Skylar** According to this book, the floor and pillars come first.
>
>
> **Sunny** Huh? Where'd you get that?
>
>
> **Skylar** From the library. Hanok Architecture for Beginners. "Hanok" is the term for Korean traditional architecture.
>
>
> **Sunny** That was in our library?
>
>
> **Bright** The library's selection certainly isn't lacking in variety.
>
>
> **Sunny** Gaaah!
>
>
> **Sunny** W-where'd you come from, Bright!?
>
>
> **Bright** I heard some loud noises, so I stopped by.
>
>
> **Sunny** Haha, you always know when a new renovation project has started!
>
>
> **Skylar** We're working on a Korean garden. It's called "Sunny-Jeong." "Jeong" means garden in Korean.
>
>
>
> **Bright** Sunny-Jeong? Haha, that's cute.
>
>

 **Dialogue 5**

> **Sunny** This tree smells amazing!
>
>
> **Bright** It's high-quality pine wood. Apparently it's the favored kind of wood for this sort of architecture.
>
>
> **Neil** But the real beauty of a Korean garden is those beautifully curved "Giwa" roof tiles!
>
>
> **Neil** I got some from an acquaintance!
>
>
>
> **Skylar** You two are like little kids trying to impress their teacher.
>
>

 **Dialogue 6**

> **Sunny** Wow! It's so cool and antique!
>
>
> **Bright** Drinking tea under this gazebo would make me feel like I've been transported to Korea.
>
>
> **Skylar** But it's not done yet! There's one other thing you can't leave out!
>
>
> **Neil** You mean a pond with clear water audibly flowing?
>
>
> **Skylar** Correct!
>
>
>
> **Sunny** Good! Let's build a pond right over here!
>
>

 **Dialogue 7**

> **Sunny** Wow, it pairs nicely with the gazebo!
>
>
> **Sunny** The fish seem to really like it too.
>
>
> **Neil** Haha, that's true!
>
>
> **Skylar** While we were decorating, I remembered another thing we could add!
>
>
> **Sunny** What's that?
>
>
> **Skylar** The towers! Each temple had a different tower, so it was fun to look around at all of them.
>
>
> **Sunny** We can't leave that out of Sunny-Jeong!
>
>
> **Bright** Good! Why don't we build it over here?
>
>
>
> **Sunny** Agreed!
>
>

 **Dialogue 8**

> **Sunny** Ooh, what are these cute ducks?
>
>
> **Neil** Haha, they're not ducks, they're geese dolls! I heard they appear at traditional Korean weddings.
>
>
> **Neil** Wild geese usually mate for life, so the wooden goose dolls are put up in the hope that the newlyweds will stay together and live happily ever after!
>
>
> **Sunny** It's a cute tradition!
>
>
> **Bright** But why did you put that doll here?
>
>
> **Neil** So Sunny and I can live happily ever after, of course!
>
>
>
> **Sunny** Neil...That's so sweet!
>
>

 **Dialogue 9**

> **Sunny** Wow! These dolls are wearing traditional Korean clothes, right?
>
>
> **Skylar** That's right! It's called "Hanbok."
>
>
> **Sunny** Actually, I think I've worn that before! For this Lunar New Year, I think.
>
>
> **Neil** I tried one on in Korea. The texture of the fabric was lovely.
>
>
> **Bright** Ooh, we should have a Hanbok Day and wear them together!
>
>
>
> **Sunny** That sounds fun!
>
>

 **Dialogue 10**

> **Neil** The springtime cherry blossoms in Korea are so pretty!
>
>
> **Skylar** I never got to see them, since I visited during fall. But Korea colored with autumn leaves was also beautiful!
>
>
> **Neil** Korea's charm changes with every season.
>
>
> **Neil** This little reading nook reminds me of a cherry blossom picnic in Korea. I read some wonderful books under the cherry tree.
>
>
> **Skylar** I bet it was a magazine or a comic book.
>
>
> **Neil** Actually, it wasn't!
>
>
> **Neil** ...Maybe it was.
>
>
>
> **Sunny** Haha, no more teasing!
>
>

 **Dialogue 11**

> **Sunny** Sunny-Jeong's looking pretty legit!
>
>
> **Skylar** Still, I feel like we're missing something important.
>
>
> **Sunny** Something important?
>
>
> **Skylar** Oh, I remember! We need a nice gate!
>
>
> **Sunny** Wow, a gate would make people feel like they've stepped into another world!
>
>
>
> **Bright** Let's get building!
>
>

 **Dialogue 12**

> **Bright** Guys, come here!
>
>
> **Sunny** Wow, what's all this?
>
>
> **Bright** I thought I'd prepare some tea to celebrate Sunny-Jeong's completion!
>
>
> **Skylar** Wow, what pretty pottery!
>
>
> **Sunny** I love this place! I'm feeling calmer already!
>
>
> **Neil** Thanks to Skylar's good idea, a lovely garden is here.
>
>
>
> **Sunny** It's all thanks to your help! Let's enjoy the atmosphere of Sunny-Jeong!
