East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North — Page 71
So, when the _Lad_ woke, he took his cloth and went off with it, and that day he got home to his mother.
그래서 소년이 잠에서 깨어났을 때, 그는 천을 가지고 길을 떠났고, 그날 어머니가 있는 집으로 돌아왔습니다.
"Now," said he, "I've been to the _North Wind's_ house, and a good fellow he is, for he gave me this cloth, and when I only say to it, 'Cloth, spread yourself, and serve up all kinds of good dishes,' I get any sort of food I please."
"자," 소년이 말했습니다. "저는 북풍의 집에 다녀왔는데, 북풍은 정말 좋은 친구예요. 왜냐하면 그가 저에게 이 천을 주었거든요. 그리고 제가 천에게 '천아, 펼쳐져라, 그리고 온갖 맛있는 음식을 차려라'라고만 하면, 제가 원하는 어떤 음식이든 얻을 수 있답니다."
"All very true, I daresay," said his mother; "but seeing is believing, and I shan't believe it till I see it."
"글쎄, 그럴 수도 있겠지," 어머니가 말했습니다. "하지만 백문이 불여일견이라고, 직접 보기 전까지는 믿지 않을 거야."
So the _Lad_ made haste, drew out a table, laid the cloth on it, and said:
그래서 소년은 서둘러 탁자를 꺼내고, 그 위에 천을 펼쳐 놓고 말했습니다:
"Cloth, spread yourself, and serve up all kinds of good dishes."
"천아, 펼쳐져라, 그리고 온갖 맛있는 음식을 차려라."
But never a bit of dry bread did the cloth serve up.
하지만 천은 마른 빵 한 조각도 차려 내지 않았습니다.
"Well," said the _Lad_ "there's no help for it but to go to the _North Wind_ again;" and away he went.
"음," 소년이 말했습니다. "북풍에게 다시 가는 것 외에는 방법이 없군요." 그리고 그는 길을 떠났습니다.
So he came to where the _North Wind_ lived late in the afternoon.
그래서 그는 늦은 오후에 북풍이 사는 곳에 도착했습니다.
"Good evening!" said the _Lad_.
"안녕하세요!" 소년이 말했습니다.
"Good evening!" said the _North Wind_.
"안녕하냐!" 북풍이 말했습니다.
"I want my rights for that meal of ours which you took," said the _Lad_; "for, as for that cloth I got, it isn't worth a penny."
"당신이 가져간 우리 양식에 대한 보상을 받고 싶어요," 소년이 말했습니다. "왜냐하면, 제가 받은 그 천은 한 푼의 가치도 없거든요."
"I've got no meal," said the _North Wind_; "but yonder you have a ram which coins nothing but golden ducats as soon as you say to it: 'Ram, ram! make money!'"
"나는 양식이 없다," 북풍이 말했습니다. "하지만 저기 숫양이 한 마리 있는데, '숫양아, 숫양아! 돈을 만들어라!'라고 말하기만 하면 금화만 만들어 낸단다."
