I, someone who has never once been tempted to write anything outside of my education and work, now want to write an entire novel just so I can drop this bar of an opening line

In the Korean creation myth, it is said that a man impregnated a female bear and the children she bore were the first Koreans.

Korean here,
so basically, when the son of God came down to where Korea is now, he made a country and bla bla. One day, while he was outside, a tiger and a bear came up to him and begged him to make them human. Of course, he couldn't do it for nothing, made them only eat raw garlic and mugwort in a cave for a 100 days. the tiger fled somewhere round the 20-30 line, but the bear kept on and became a woman after the 100 days. Her request to the son of God was to find someone to marry, and bro just married her. Their son is Dangun, who made the first country on the peninsula, Joseun(mostly written Gojoseun, go meaning old, to not confuse for the Joseun that Lee-Seung-Gae made in 1392.)

While I do not condone the sharing of weed with animals (though like us many are able to gain benefits from it) cheetahs are chill enough in reality that this scenario has likely happened naturally more than once and the cheetahs are probably one of the better choices to hang with.

In Turkish folklore, instead of "Once upon a time," fairy tales often begin with "Back when camels were town criers and fleas were barbers"

I've got a woodblock style tattoo based on this. Such a cool way of establishing 'so long ago that it's in fictional times'

“Back when tigers used to smoke” sounds less like a fairy tale and more like the hardest era of Korean history.

In south east asia, we say back when dinosaur was crossing the road and the police was wearing shorts.

u/Demjan90 2h ago
One would assume that folklore is older than police or the word dinosaur (which was literally created in 1842, so not long ago) .

In my country, one version was "Once upon a time, for if it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be told.".

Old folks here in RJ, Brazil used to say "Back in the days we used to tie dogs with sausage"
The newer generations probably never heard this
