  A korean Legend Here is a Korean Legend that i thought you guys might be intersested in that one of my korean friends told me...but its not fun.
Long long ago , a king from heaven sent his son, Hwanung to earth. There he met a bear and a tiger ,each wanted to become a human being. so Hwanung told them that if they did not come out of the cave,and ate only garlic and wormwood for one hundred days , they would become mortal. The tiger gave up,but the bear obeyed Hwanung and became a woman.
Eventually, Hwanung and the bear who turned into a woman, married and had a son ,Tan-gun,the first korean leader. Even now the people of korea celebrate Tan-gun's birthday..calling it "sky opening day".
this day is celebrated on october 3rd.

  A Legend from India about the Hindu festival of color wich is called Holi Originally Holi is a festival to celebrate good harvests and fertility of the land. There are many legends concerning the origin of this spring festival. The most popular among these concerns Prince Prahlad, the god-fearing son of the evil King Hiranyakasipu. Prahlad did not give up worshipping the god Vishnu in spite of fearful persecution by his father and his demon aunt Holika, who was deputed by her brother to kill young Prahlad. Ultimately, when Holika who was immune to death by fire, took Prahlad and entered a blazing furnace built for his destruction, it was the wicked Holika who was burnt to ashes by divine intervention, while Prahlad came out unscathed. Before she died, she realised her follies and begged the boy's forgiveness. As his gesture of forgiveness, Prahlad deemed that her name would be remembered at least one day in the year.
