We must not talk, but whisper low,

우리는 말하지 말고, 낮게 속삭여야 해,

Mother wants to work, we know,

엄마가 일하고 싶어 한다는 걸, 우리는 알아,

That, when father comes to tea,

아버지가 차 마시러 오실 때,

All may neat and cheerful be.

모든 것이 깔끔하고 즐거울 수 있도록.

LESSON XVI.

제16과.

A KIND BROTHER.

친절한 형.

1. A boy was once sent from home to take a basket of things to his grandmother.

1. 한 소년이 할머니께 물건이 담긴 바구니를 가져다 드리기 위해 집에서 심부름을 나선 적이 있었습니다.

2. The basket was so full that it was very heavy. So his little brother went with him, to help carry the load.

2. 바구니가 너무 가득 차서 매우 무거웠습니다. 그래서 그의 남동생이 짐을 나르는 것을 돕기 위해 함께 갔습니다.

3. They put a pole under the handle of the basket, and each then took hold of an end of the pole. In this way they could carry the basket very nicely.

3. 그들은 바구니의 손잡이 아래에 장대를 끼우고, 각자 장대의 한쪽 끝을 잡았습니다. 이렇게 하면 바구니를 아주 잘 운반할 수 있었습니다.

4. Now the older boy thought, "My brother Tom does not know about this pole.

4. 그런데 형은 이런 생각을 했습니다, "내 동생 톰은 이 장대에 대해 모르고 있어.

5. "If I slip the basket near him, his side will be heavy, and mine light; but if the basket is in the middle of the pole, it will be as heavy for me as it is for him.

5. "만약 내가 바구니를 그쪽으로 밀면, 그 쪽이 무겁고 내 쪽은 가벼울 거야; 하지만 바구니가 장대의 가운데에 있으면, 나에게도 그에게와 마찬가지로 무거울 거야.

6. "Tom does not know this as I do. But I will not do it. It would be wrong, and I will not do what is wrong."

6. "톰은 나처럼 이것을 알지 못해. 하지만 나는 그렇게 하지 않을 거야. 그것은 잘못된 일이고, 나는 잘못된 일을 하지 않을 거야."

7. Then he slipped the basket quite near his own end of the pole. His load was now heavier than that of his little brother.

7. 그러자 그는 바구니를 자신의 장대 끝 가까이로 밀었습니다. 이제 그의 짐은 남동생의 짐보다 더 무거웠습니다.

8. Yet he was happy; for he felt that he had done right.

8. 하지만 그는 행복했습니다; 왜냐하면 그는 옳은 일을 했다고 느꼈기 때문입니다.
