- Slide: 1
- INTEGRITY
- Good deserves good. The rice on the ground is yours if you want to gather it.
- Excuse me, it seems you are leaving a trail of rice behind you!
- Tree-ear has a lot of integrity. One example of this is when Tree-ear sees a farmer whose seeds are falling out of his bag. Rather than stealing the seeds without the farmer ever knowing, Tree-ear tells the farmer or the hole in his bag.
- Slide: 2
- LOYALTY
- If the master would make a vessel he considers worthy of the court's attention, it would be my greatest honor to be allowed to take it to Songdo for him.
- Tree-ear is extremely loyal. One example of this is when he offers to walk to Songdo so that Min may have his work presented to the palace.
