Then the mother said: “Son, your father was able to shoot the eye out of a needle from 1,000 feet away. Can you do this?”

The son asked his mother to stand with a needle in her outstretched hand. Then he walked back 1,000 feet and, after aiming carefully, took a shot. But he failed to shoot the eye out of the needle. Once again, he gave up the idea of going to the Kumgang Mountains, and settled down to practice even harder.

After three years had passed, he tried the same test again. This time, with a crack of his gun, the eye of the needle fell to the ground.

Of course, his mother had told him a series of lies—hoping that he would give up the idea of going to avenge his father. But now that he was even better than his father, she agreed to let him leave for the Kumgang Mountains. The son was overjoyed and left immediately.
