           If there was anything that would make Euna happy, it would be the sight of busy people swarming at the line of stores in the morning, the variety of vegetables and fruits placed beautifully at the roadside, and the savoury smell of dumplings being cooked tempting anyone to buy them. Everywhere she looks causes her to beam with pure bliss of joy. She was finally free.        Everything seems so impossible before, and yet, she was here in the middle of the city, the dumplings in her reach. Thanks to Tao and her perfume.       The journey from her small hanok to the outskirts of city of Jasmine, the capital of Flower country, took her half an hour of sniffing. She had doubts before that her plan would fail, but it worked, maybe because Tao was already drowsy to notice that something was up.       Euna's robe was dirtied and her nose was the color of red due to the long duration of inhaling the strong scent of her fragrant oil, that it began to get itchy and irritated.

The reason for her cravings was because Tao, his strict teacher, insisted that a healthy diet was part of the training, and sadly, this appetizing dumplings was not part of that healthy diet.      " If you're not buying anything, just leave!
