The tree bends for-ward slightly, and the branches hang quite down to the ground just like green hair.

나무는 앞으로 약간 기울어져 있고, 가지들은 마치 초록빛 머리카락처럼 땅까지 축 늘어져 있습니다.

Corn grows in the surrounding fields, not only rye and barley, but oats,-pretty oats that, when ripe, look like a number of little golden canary-birds sitting on a bough.

주변 들판에는 곡식이 자라는데, 호밀과 보리뿐만 아니라 귀리도 있습니다. 그 예쁜 귀리는 익으면 나뭇가지에 앉은 작은 황금빛 카나리아 새들처럼 보입니다.

The corn has a smiling look and the heaviest and richest ears bend their heads low as if in pious humility.

곡식은 웃음 짓는 듯한 모습을 하고 있으며, 가장 무겁고 풍성한 이삭들은 마치 경건한 겸손함으로 고개를 깊이 숙이고 있습니다.

Once there was also a field of buckwheat, and this field was exactly opposite to old willow-tree.

한때 메밀밭도 있었는데, 그 밭은 오래된 버드나무 바로 맞은편에 있었습니다.

The buckwheat did not bend like the other grain, but erected its head proudly and stiffly on the stem.

메밀은 다른 곡식들처럼 고개를 숙이지 않고, 줄기 위에 머리를 뻣뻣하고 자랑스럽게 곧추세웠습니다.

"I am as valuable as any other corn," said he, "and I am much handsomer; my flowers are as beautiful as the bloom of the apple blossom, and it is a pleasure to look at us.

"나는 다른 어떤 곡식 못지않게 가치 있어," 메밀이 말했습니다. "게다가 나는 훨씬 더 아름답지. 내 꽃들은 사과꽃만큼이나 아름답고, 우리를 바라보는 것은 즐거운 일이야.

Do you know of anything prettier than we are, you old willow-tree?"

오래된 버드나무야, 너는 우리보다 더 예쁜 것을 알고 있니?"

And the willow-tree nodded his head, as if he would say, "Indeed I do."

그러자 버드나무는 마치 "물론 알고 있지"라고 말하듯 고개를 끄덕였습니다.

But the buckwheat spread itself out with pride, and said, "Stupid tree; he is so old that grass grows out of his body."

하지만 메밀은 자만심으로 몸을 활짝 펼치며 말했습니다. "멍청한 나무 같으니라고. 몸에서 풀이 자랄 만큼 늙어빠졌잖아."

There arose a very terrible storm.

무시무시한 폭풍이 일어났습니다.

All the field-flowers folded their leaves together, or bowed their little heads, while the storm passed over them, but the buckwheat stood erect in its pride.

들판의 모든 꽃들은 잎을 오므리거나 작은 머리를 숙이며 폭풍이 지나가길 기다렸지만, 메밀은 자만심으로 꼿꼿이 서 있었습니다.

"Bend your head as we do," said the flowers.

"우리처럼 고개를 숙여요," 꽃들이 말했습니다.

"I have no occasion to do so," replied the buckwheat.

"나는 그럴 필요가 없어," 메밀이 대답했습니다.
