No," said the Fowler, "I will not spare you. I was going to kill you anyhow, and after that treacherous speech you thoroughly deserve your fate."

"아니," 새잡이가 말했다, "나는 너를 살려주지 않을 것이다. 나는 어차피 너를 죽이려 했고, 그 배신적인 말을 한 후 너는 완전히 네 운명을 받아 마땅하다."

THE RUNAWAY SLAVE

도망친 노예

A Slave, being discontented with his lot, ran away from his master.

한 노예가 자신의 처지에 불만을 품고 주인에게서 도망쳤다.

He was soon missed by the latter, who lost no time in mounting his horse and setting out in pursuit of the fugitive.

주인은 곧 그가 없어진 것을 알아채고, 지체 없이 말에 올라타 도망자를 뒤쫓아 출발했다.

He presently came up with him, and the Slave, in the hope of avoiding capture, slipped into a treadmill and hid himself there.

그는 곧 노예를 따라잡았고, 노예는 붙잡히지 않으려는 희망으로 발방아 안으로 몰래 들어가 숨었다.

"Aha," said his master, "that's the very place for you, my man!"

"아하," 주인이 말했다, "그곳이 바로 네가 있어야 할 곳이로구나, 이 녀석아!"

THE HUNTER AND THE WOODMAN

사냥꾼과 나무꾼

A Hunter was searching in the forest for the tracks of a lion, and, catching sight presently of a Woodman engaged in felling a tree, he went up to him and asked him if he had noticed a lion's footprints anywhere about, or if he knew where his den was.

한 사냥꾼이 숲속에서 사자의 발자국을 찾고 있었는데, 나무를 베고 있는 나무꾼을 발견하고는 그에게 다가가 근처에서 사자의 발자국을 본 적이 있는지, 또는 사자의 굴이 어디에 있는지 알고 있는지 물었다.

The Woodman answered, "If you will come with me, I will show you the lion himself."

나무꾼이 대답했다, "저와 함께 오신다면, 사자 그 자체를 보여드리겠습니다."

The Hunter turned pale with fear, and his teeth chattered as he replied, "Oh, I'm not looking for the lion, thanks, but only for his tracks."

사냥꾼은 두려움에 새하얗게 질렸고, 이를 달달 떨면서 대답했다, "아, 저는 사자를 찾는 게 아니라, 그냥 발자국만 찾고 있습니다."
