' And the master said, 'You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be handsome.'

Và người chủ nói: 'Anh đã là một người hầu trung thành và tốt bụng, Hans, vì vậy tiền công của anh sẽ rất hậu hĩnh.'

Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.

Rồi ông ta đưa cho anh một cục bạc to bằng cái đầu của anh.

Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards.

Hans lấy chiếc khăn tay ra, đặt miếng bạc vào trong đó, quàng lên vai và lững thững đi trên con đường về nhà.

As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.

Khi anh đang lười biếng bước đi, lê từng bước chân một, thì một người đàn ông xuất hiện, đang phi ngựa vui vẻ trên một con ngựa tuyệt vời.

'Ah!' said Hans aloud, 'what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback!

'A!' Hans nói to, 'Cưỡi ngựa thật là thú vị làm sao!

There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how.'

Người kia ngồi thoải mái và vui vẻ như thể đang ở nhà, trên chiếc ghế bên lò sưởi; anh ta không vấp phải hòn đá nào, không mòn giày, và cứ thế mà tiến lên mà hầu như chẳng cần biết làm thế nào.'

Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, 'Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?'

Hans không nói nhỏ đến mức người kỵ sĩ không nghe thấy, và người đó nói: 'Này bạn, vậy tại sao anh lại đi bộ?'

'Ah!' said he, 'I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my shoulder sadly.'

'A!' anh ta nói, 'Tôi phải mang cái gánh nặng này: dù là bạc thật đấy, nhưng nó nặng đến mức tôi không thể ngẩng đầu lên được, và anh biết đấy nó làm vai tôi đau lắm.'

'What do you say of making an exchange?' said the horseman.

'Anh có muốn đổi chác không?' người kỵ sĩ nói.

'I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver; which will save you a great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you.

'Tôi sẽ cho anh con ngựa của tôi, và anh sẽ cho tôi miếng bạc; điều đó sẽ giúp anh tránh được rất nhiều phiền toái khi phải mang theo cái gánh nặng như vậy bên mình.
