The woodman asked, "Why can you not? If you do not, there is nothing
for this woman but death, so here I'll have done with it," and he
struck her with his sword and cut off her head.
The day following he said to Im, "Since you are determined to go
forth and do valiantly, I cannot stop you, but if a man goes forth
thus and does not know the use of the sword he is helpless, and at
the mercy of the foe. Stay with me a little and learn. I'll teach you."
Im stayed for six days and learned the use of the sword.
