That does not matter," said the old snail; "has she a house?"

"그건 상관없어요," 늙은 달팽이가 말했습니다. "그녀에게 집이 있나요?"

"She has a palace," replied the ant,--"a most beautiful ant-palace with seven hundred passages."

"그녀는 궁전을 가지고 있어요," 개미가 대답했습니다. "칠백 개의 통로가 있는 가장 아름다운 개미 궁전이에요."

"Thank-you," said the mother-snail; "but our boy shall not go to live in an ant-hill.

"감사합니다," 어미 달팽이가 말했습니다. "하지만 우리 아이는 개미집에 살러 가지 않을 거예요.

If you know of nothing better, we will give the commission to the white gnats; they fly about in rain and sunshine; they know the burdock wood from one end to the other."

더 좋은 것을 알지 못한다면, 우리는 흰 각다귀들에게 일을 맡길 거예요. 그들은 비가 오나 햇빛이 나나 날아다니니까요. 그들은 우엉 숲을 처음부터 끝까지 알고 있어요."

"We have a wife for him," said the gnats; "a hundred man-steps from here there is a little snail with a house, sitting on a gooseberry-bush; she is quite alone, and old enough to be married.

"우리에게 그를 위한 신부가 있어요," 각다귀들이 말했습니다. "여기서 백 걸음 떨어진 곳에 집을 가진 작은 달팽이가 구즈베리 덤불에 앉아 있어요. 그녀는 완전히 혼자이고, 결혼하기에 충분한 나이예요.

It is only a hundred man-steps from here."

여기서 겨우 백 걸음밖에 안 돼요."

"Then let her come to him," said the old people.

"그렇다면 그녀가 그에게 오도록 하세요," 늙은 달팽이들이 말했습니다.

"He has the whole burdock forest; she has only a bush."

"그는 우엉 숲 전체를 가지고 있고, 그녀는 덤불 하나밖에 없잖아요."

So they brought the little lady-snail.

그래서 그들은 작은 암달팽이를 데려왔습니다.

She took eight days to perform the journey; but that was just as it ought to be; for it showed her to be one of the right breeding.

그녀는 여행을 마치는 데 여드레가 걸렸습니다. 하지만 그것은 당연한 일이었습니다. 그것이 그녀가 올바른 가문 출신임을 보여주었기 때문입니다.

And then they had a wedding.

그리고 나서 그들은 결혼식을 올렸습니다.

Six glow-worms gave as much light as they could; but in other respects it was all very quiet; for the old snails could not bear festivities or a crowd.

여섯 마리의 반딧불이가 최대한 빛을 발했습니다. 하지만 그 외에는 모든 것이 매우 조용했습니다. 늙은 달팽이들이 축제나 군중을 견디지 못했기 때문입니다.

But a beautiful speech was made by the mother-snail.

하지만 어미 달팽이가 아름다운 연설을 했습니다.

The father could not speak; he was too much overcome.

아버지는 말을 할 수가 없었습니다. 그는 너무나 감격에 겨워 있었습니다.
