Story of a Nursery Being Moved

One snowy day in early February 1956, the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung visited a mine in a county and dropped in at a nursery under the mine.

The windows of the nursery were covered with paper, so the rooms were not sunny.

After inquiring about the situation of the nursery, he said with a worried expression: What do we work for? We work for the younger generation. No matter how much ore we dig, it would be useless without these children.

Then he looked to the foot of a mountain. Pointing to a new tile-roofed house there, he asked what it was.

Upon receiving a report that it was a recently-built building for the Party committee, he said: We did not have an office when we were waging the anti-Japanese guerrilla struggle. We laid out a nice room for the education of the Children’s Corps members even though we were working out operational plans between rocks.

He then firmly stated that it would be advisable to give the building of the Party committee to the nursery, and that the Party committee should use the existing nursery building.

As a result, the mine changed the buildings of the nursery and the Party committee.
