East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North — Page 46
When they got up to the castle again, the captain took the bear and led it away, and then the lad threw off the hide, and went to a tailor and ordered clothes fit for a prince; and when they were fitted on he went to the _King_, and said he wanted to find the _Princess_.
그들이 다시 성으로 올라갔을 때, 대장은 곰을 데리고 떠나갔고, 그러자 소년은 가죽을 벗어던지고 재봉사에게 가서 왕자에게 어울리는 옷을 주문했다. 옷을 맞춰 입은 후 그는 _왕_에게 가서 _공주_를 찾고 싶다고 말했다.
"You're not the first who has wished the same thing," said the _King_, "but they have all lost their lives; for if any one who tries can't find her in four-and-twenty hours his life is forfeited."
"같은 것을 원한 사람이 당신이 처음은 아니오," 라고 _왕_이 말했다. "하지만 그들은 모두 목숨을 잃었소. 시도하는 자가 스물네 시간 안에 그녀를 찾지 못하면 목숨을 잃게 되오."
Yes; the lad knew all that.
그렇다. 소년은 그 모든 것을 알고 있었다.
Still he wished to try, and if he couldn't find her, 'twas his look-out.
그래도 그는 시도해 보고 싶었고, 만약 그녀를 찾지 못한다면 그것은 자신이 감수할 일이었다.
Now in the castle there was a band that played sweet tunes, and there were fair maids to dance with, and so the lad danced away.
성 안에는 감미로운 곡을 연주하는 악단이 있었고, 함께 춤을 출 아름다운 아가씨들도 있었다. 그래서 소년은 춤을 추었다.
When twelve hours were gone, the _King_ said:
열두 시간이 지났을 때, _왕_이 말했다.
"I pity you with all my heart. You're so poor a hand at seeking; you will surely lose your life."
"진심으로 당신이 안타깝소. 당신은 찾는 솜씨가 너무 형편없으니, 분명 목숨을 잃게 될 것이오."
"Stuff!" said the lad; "while there's life there's hope! So long as there's breath in the body there's no fear; we have lots of time!" and so he went on dancing till there was only one hour left.
"헛소리!" 소년이 말했다. "살아 있는 한 희망이 있소! 몸에 숨이 붙어 있는 한 두려울 것이 없소. 시간은 충분하오!" 그리고 그는 한 시간밖에 남지 않을 때까지 계속 춤을 추었다.
Then he said he would begin to search.
그때 그는 이제 찾기 시작하겠다고 말했다.
"It's no use now," said the _King_; "time's up."
"이제 소용없소," 라고 _왕_이 말했다. "시간이 다 됐소."
"Light your lamp; out with your big bunch of keys," said the lad, "and follow me whither I wish to go.
"등불을 켜시오. 큰 열쇠 묶음을 꺼내시오," 소년이 말했다. "그리고 내가 가고자 하는 곳으로 나를 따라오시오.
