The Ulsan rock legend


People made a lot of legends to explain extraordinary things. The story of the Ulsan rock is also one of the interesting legends.
Long time ago, the Creator decided to make one of the greatest mountains in the world which has 12,000 peaks. He collected the whole country's peaks toward the Geumgang Mountains but there were the target date and the examination for making new mountains. So Many peaks gathered around there. At the same time, the Ulsan rock, whose perimeter was 4,000m and lived in Ulsan, headed for the destination. However, he was too big to hurry, and he easily got tired; he took a rest nearby Mt. Seorak. The next day he finally arrived but the term already expired so he had to get back. On the way back, he thought. "If I go back, I would be a laughingstock." So he decided to settle down where he took a rest yesterday. That's why we call it the Ulsan rock even though it is not in Ulsan. In conclusion, we can use the legend to make something unusual clear.

(Actually, the distance between Ulsan and Mt. Seorak area is very far)

A very interesting Legend; thank you for sharing it. Now, can you tell me what is wrong with this sentence? "But he was too big to hurry and he easily got tired so he took a rest nearby Mt. Seorak."
