The next day came the little boy to whom the playthings belonged, and he painted the top red and yellow, and drove a brass-headed nail into the middle, so that while the top was spinning round it looked splendid.

다음 날 그 장난감들의 주인인 어린 소년이 왔고, 그는 팽이를 빨간색과 노란색으로 칠하고, 가운데에 놋쇠 머리 못을 박았는데, 그래서 팽이가 빙글빙글 돌 때 정말 멋져 보였습니다.

"Look at me," said the top to the ball. "What do you say now?

"나를 보세요," 팽이가 공에게 말했습니다. "이제 어떻게 생각하세요?

Shall we be engaged to each other? We should suit so well; you spring, and I dance.

우리 서로 약혼하는 게 어떨까요? 우리는 정말 잘 어울릴 텐데요; 당신은 튀어 오르고, 나는 춤을 추잖아요.

No one could be happier than we should be."

우리보다 더 행복한 사람은 없을 거예요."

"Indeed! do you think so? Perhaps you do not know that my father and mother were morocco slippers, and that I have a Spanish cork in my body."

"정말요! 그렇게 생각하세요? 아마 당신은 제 아버지와 어머니가 모로코 가죽 슬리퍼였다는 것과, 제 몸 안에 스페인산 코르크가 들어 있다는 걸 모르시는 것 같군요."

"Yes; but I am made of mahogany," said the top. "The major himself turned me.

"그렇군요; 하지만 저는 마호가니로 만들어졌답니다," 팽이가 말했습니다. "소령님께서 직접 저를 깎으셨어요.

He has a turning lathe of his own, and it is a great amusement to him."

그분은 자신만의 선반을 갖고 계신데, 그것이 그분께 큰 즐거움이랍니다."

"Can I believe it?" asked the ball.

"그걸 믿을 수 있을까요?" 공이 물었습니다.

"May I never be whipped again," said the top, "if I am not telling you the truth."

"제가 다시는 채찍질을 당하지 않기를 바랍니다," 팽이가 말했습니다, "만약 제가 사실을 말하는 게 아니라면요."

"You certainly know how to speak for yourself very well," said the ball; "but I cannot accept your proposal.

"당신은 분명히 자신을 위해 말하는 법을 아주 잘 아시는군요," 공이 말했습니다; "하지만 저는 당신의 청혼을 받아들일 수 없어요.

I am almost engaged to a swallow. Every time I fly up in the air, he puts his head out of the nest, and says, 'Will you?' and I have said, 'Yes,' to myself silently, and that is as good as being half engaged; but I will promise never to forget you."

저는 거의 제비와 약혼한 사이나 다름없답니다. 제가 공중으로 날아오를 때마다, 그는 둥지에서 머리를 내밀고, '그러실 건가요?'라고 말하고, 저는 속으로 조용히 '네'라고 말했는데, 그것은 반쯤 약혼한 것이나 마찬가지예요; 하지만 저는 당신을 절대 잊지 않겠다고 약속할게요."
