When he arrived at the ditch, he met several friends, all them beetles; "We live here," they said, "and we are very comfortable.

그가 도랑에 도착했을 때, 그는 몇몇 친구들을 만났는데, 모두 딱정벌레들이었다. "우리는 여기에 살아요," 그들이 말했다, "그리고 우리는 아주 편안하게 지내고 있어요.

May we ask you to step down into this rich mud, you must be fatigued after your journey."

이 기름진 진흙 속으로 내려오시겠어요, 여행 후에 피곤하실 텐데요."

"Certainly," said the beetle, "I shall be most happy; I have been exposed to the rain, and have had to lie upon linen, and cleanliness is a thing that greatly exhausts me;

"물론이죠," 딱정벌레가 말했다, "정말 기쁠 것 같아요. 저는 비를 맞았고, 린넨 위에 누워 있어야 했는데, 청결함이란 것이 저를 몹시 지치게 하는 것이거든요.

I have also pains in one of my wings from standing in the draught under a piece of broken crockery.

또한 깨진 도기 조각 아래 외풍 속에 서 있었더니 날개 하나가 아프기도 해요.

It is really quite refreshing to be with one's own kindred again."

다시 자기 동족과 함께 있다는 것이 정말 꽤 상쾌하네요."

"Perhaps you came from a dung-heap," observed the oldest of them.

"혹시 두엄 더미에서 오신 것 아닌가요," 그들 중 가장 나이 든 이가 말했다.

"No, indeed, I came from a much grander place," replied the beetle; "I came from the emperor's stable, where I was born, with golden shoes on my feet.

"아니요, 천만에요, 저는 훨씬 더 웅장한 곳에서 왔어요," 딱정벌레가 대답했다. "저는 황제의 마구간에서 왔는데, 그곳에서 태어났고, 발에는 황금 신발을 신고 있었죠.

I am travelling on a secret embassy, but you must not ask me any questions, for I cannot betray my secret."

저는 비밀 사절로 여행 중인데, 제 비밀을 누설할 수 없으니 아무것도 묻지 마세요."

Then the beetle stepped down into the rich mud, where sat three young-lady beetles, who tittered, because they did not know what to say.

그러자 딱정벌레는 기름진 진흙 속으로 내려갔는데, 그곳에는 세 마리의 어린 숙녀 딱정벌레들이 앉아 있었고, 그들은 무슨 말을 해야 할지 몰라서 킥킥거렸다.

"None of them are engaged yet," said their mother, and the beetle maidens tittered again, this time quite in confusion.

"그들 중 아무도 아직 약혼하지 않았답니다," 그들의 어머니가 말했고, 딱정벌레 아가씨들은 이번에는 꽤 당황하며 다시 킥킥거렸다.

"I have never seen greater beauties, even in the royal stables," exclaimed the beetle, who was now resting himself.

"왕실 마구간에서도 이보다 더 아름다운 것들은 본 적이 없어요," 이제 쉬고 있던 딱정벌레가 외쳤다.
