East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North — Page 168
He thought it was hard that he should see neither people nor daylight any more; but he would have to do something, he thought, and so for many days he went about from room to room and opened all the drawers and cupboards and searched about on the shelves and looked at all the fine things that were there.
그는 사람도 햇빛도 더 이상 볼 수 없다는 것이 힘들다고 생각했지만, 뭔가를 해야겠다고 생각했고, 그리하여 여러 날 동안 방에서 방으로 돌아다니며 서랍과 찬장을 모두 열고 선반을 뒤지며 거기에 있는 온갖 아름다운 것들을 살펴보았다.
At last he came to a drawer in a table, in which there lay a golden key; he tried this key to all the locks he could find, but there was none it fitted till he came to a little cupboard over the bed, and in that he found an old rusty whistle.
마침내 그는 탁자의 서랍 하나에 이르렀는데, 그 안에 황금 열쇠가 놓여 있었다. 그는 이 열쇠를 찾을 수 있는 모든 자물쇠에 맞춰 보았지만, 침대 위의 작은 찬장에 이르기 전까지는 맞는 것이 하나도 없었고, 그 안에서 오래되고 녹슨 호루라기를 발견했다.
"I wonder if there is any sound in it," he thought, and put it to his mouth.
"이것에서 소리가 날까?" 그는 생각하며 입에 갖다 댔다.
No sooner had he whistled than he heard a whizzing and a whirring from all quarters, and such a large flock of birds swept down, that they blackened all the field in which they settled.
그가 휘파람을 불자마자 사방에서 윙윙거리고 웅웅거리는 소리가 들렸고, 엄청나게 큰 새 떼가 날아 내려와 그들이 내려앉은 들판을 온통 까맣게 뒤덮었다.

"What does our master want to-day?" they asked.
"주인님은 오늘 무엇을 원하십니까?" 그들이 물었다.
If he were their master, the soldier said, he would like to know if they could tell him how to get up to the earth again.
병사는 자신이 그들의 주인이라면, 지상으로 다시 올라가는 방법을 알려줄 수 있는지 알고 싶다고 말했다.
