So the next time the young queen was to have a child, twice as strong a watch was set as the first time, but the same thing happened over again, only this time her _Foster-mother_ said:

그래서 다음에 젊은 왕비가 아이를 낳게 되었을 때, 처음보다 두 배나 강한 경비가 세워졌지만, 똑같은 일이 다시 일어났고, 다만 이번에는 그녀의 _수양어머니_가 말했습니다:

"Now you shall be as grieved as I was when you let the moon out."

"이제 너는 네가 달을 내보냈을 때 내가 슬펐던 것만큼 슬퍼하게 될 것이다."

And the queen begged and prayed, and wept; for when her _Foster-mother_ was there, she could speak--but it was all no good.

왕비는 애원하고 기도하며 울었습니다. 왜냐하면 _수양어머니_가 거기 있을 때는 말을 할 수 있었기 때문입니다—하지만 아무 소용이 없었습니다.

And now the old queen said she must be burnt, but the Prince found means to beg her off.

그리고 이제 늙은 왕비는 그녀를 불태워야 한다고 말했지만, 왕자는 어떻게든 그녀를 살려달라고 간청할 방법을 찾았습니다.

But when the third child was to be born, a watch was set three times as strong as the first, but just the same thing happened.

하지만 세 번째 아이가 태어나야 할 때, 처음보다 세 배나 강한 경비가 세워졌지만, 똑같은 일이 벌어졌습니다.

Her _Foster-mother_ came while the watch slept, took the babe, and cut its little finger, and smeared the queen's mouth with the blood, telling her now she should be as grieved as she had been when the _Lassie_ let out the sun.

_수양어머니_는 경비가 자는 동안 와서 아기를 데려가고, 아기의 작은 손가락을 베어 왕비의 입에 피를 발랐으며, 이제 _소녀_가 태양을 내보냈을 때만큼 슬퍼하게 될 것이라고 말했습니다.

And now the Prince could not save her any longer.

이제 왕자는 더 이상 그녀를 구할 수 없었습니다.

She must and should be burnt.

그녀는 반드시 불태워져야 했습니다.

But just as they were leading her to the stake, all at once they saw her _Foster-mother_, who came with all three children--two she led by the hand, and the third she had on her arm; and so she went up to the young queen and said:

하지만 그들이 그녀를 화형대로 끌고 가려는 순간, 갑자기 세 아이를 모두 데리고 오는 _수양어머니_가 보였습니다—둘은 손을 잡고 이끌었고, 셋째는 팔에 안고 있었습니다. 그렇게 그녀는 젊은 왕비에게 다가가 말했습니다:

"Here are your children; now you shall have them again.

"여기 당신의 아이들이 있습니다. 이제 당신은 그들을 다시 갖게 될 것입니다.
