In an old village, there lived a Korean who had a magic straw coat. With his magic coat on he could be

invisible. So, he boasted that he could fight anyone.

But one day, while he was fast asleep, a goblin stole his coat and replace it with another one just like it.

When the Korean woke up, he put it on, and went to a boxing bout. What do you think happened?
