And when the moon became round and full, the poor creature thought, "I wonder if that is the bucket which will be let down, and into which I must step to get higher up? Or is the sun the great bucket? How great it is! how bright it is! It can take up all. I must look out, that I may not miss the opportunity. Oh, how it seems to shine in my head! I don't think the jewel can shine brighter. But I haven't the jewel; not that I cry about that--no, I must go higher up, into splendor and joy! I feel so confident, and yet I am afraid. It's a difficult step to take, and yet it must be taken. Onward, therefore, straight onward!"

그리고 달이 둥글고 가득 차오르자, 그 가여운 생물은 생각했습니다, "저것이 내려올 양동이이고, 내가 더 높이 올라가기 위해 발을 디뎌야 하는 것일까? 아니면 태양이 그 큰 양동이일까? 얼마나 크고! 얼마나 밝은지! 모든 것을 담을 수 있겠어. 기회를 놓치지 않도록 잘 살펴봐야 해. 오, 머릿속이 빛나는 것 같아! 보석도 이보다 더 밝게 빛나지는 못할 것 같아. 하지만 나에게는 보석이 없어. 그렇다고 울지는 않을 거야--아니, 나는 더 높이, 화려함과 기쁨 속으로 올라가야 해! 자신감이 넘치면서도 두렵기도 해. 내딛기 어려운 발걸음이지만, 그래도 내디뎌야 해. 앞으로, 그러므로, 곧장 앞으로!"

She took a few steps, such as a crawling animal may take, and soon found herself on a road beside which people dwelt; but there were flower gardens as well as kitchen gardens.

그녀는 기어다니는 동물이 내딛을 법한 몇 걸음을 내딛었고, 곧 사람들이 사는 길가에 이르렀습니다. 그곳에는 꽃밭뿐만 아니라 채소밭도 있었습니다.

And she sat down to rest by a kitchen garden.

그리고 그녀는 채소밭 곁에 앉아 쉬었습니다.

"What a number of different creatures there are that I never knew! and how beautiful and great the world is! But one must look round in it, and not stay in one spot."

"내가 전혀 몰랐던 얼마나 다양한 생물들이 있는지! 그리고 세상은 얼마나 아름답고 넓은지! 하지만 한 자리에 머물지 말고 세상을 둘러봐야 해."

And then she hopped into the kitchen garden.

그리고 나서 그녀는 채소밭 안으로 뛰어들었습니다.

"How green it is here! how beautiful it is here!"

"여기는 얼마나 푸른지! 여기는 얼마나 아름다운지!"

"I know that," said the Caterpillar, on the leaf, "my leaf is the largest here.

"그건 나도 알아," 잎사귀 위의 애벌레가 말했습니다, "내 잎이 여기서 제일 크거든.
