Mother West Wind "Why" Stories — Page 17
Of course we know that," replied Striped Chipmunk, "but what we want to know is how he ever found out that he could fool people that way, and how he knows that he will fool them."
"물론 우리도 그걸 알아요," 줄무늬 다람쥐가 대답했습니다. "하지만 우리가 알고 싶은 건 그가 어떻게 그런 식으로 사람들을 속일 수 있다는 걸 알게 됐는지, 그리고 어떻게 그들을 속일 수 있다는 걸 아는지예요."
"I suspect that his mammy taught him," said Grandfather Frog, with another chuckle way down deep in his throat.
"아마도 그의 엄마가 가르쳐 줬을 거야," 할아버지 개구리가 목구멍 깊은 곳에서 또 한 번 낄낄거리며 말했습니다.
"But who taught his mammy?" persisted Striped Chipmunk.
"그럼 그의 엄마는 누가 가르쳐 줬나요?" 줄무늬 다람쥐가 끈질기게 물었습니다.
Grandfather Frog snapped at a foolish green fly, and when it was safely tucked away inside his white and yellow waistcoat, he turned once more to his three little visitors, and there was a twinkle in his big, goggly eyes.
할아버지 개구리는 어리석은 녹색 파리를 덥석 잡아먹었고, 그것이 흰색과 노란색의 조끼 안에 안전하게 들어가자, 그는 세 명의 작은 방문객들에게 다시 몸을 돌렸는데, 그의 크고 툭 불거진 눈에 반짝임이 있었습니다.
"I see," said he, "that you _will_ have a story, and I suppose that the sooner I tell it to you, the sooner you will leave me in peace.
"알겠어," 그가 말했습니다. "너희들은 기어이 이야기를 듣겠다는 거구나, 빨리 이야기해 줄수록 너희들이 빨리 나를 편히 내버려 두겠지.
Unc' Billy Possum's grandfather a thousand times removed was--"
엉클 빌리 주머니쥐의 천 대 조상은--"
"Was this way back in the days when the world was young?" interrupted Peter.
"그게 세상이 아직 젊었던 그 옛날 이야기인가요?" 피터가 끼어들었습니다.
Grandfather Frog scowled at Peter. "If I have any more interruptions, there will be no story to-day" said he severely.
할아버지 개구리가 피터를 찌푸린 얼굴로 바라보았습니다. "더 이상 방해를 받는다면, 오늘은 이야기가 없을 거야" 그가 엄하게 말했습니다.
Peter looked ashamed and promised that he would hold his tongue right between his teeth until Grandfather Frog was through.
피터는 부끄러운 표정을 지으며 할아버지 개구리가 이야기를 마칠 때까지 입을 꼭 다물고 있겠다고 약속했습니다.
Grandfather Frog cleared his throat and began again.
할아버지 개구리는 목을 가다듬고 다시 시작했습니다.
"Unc' Billy Possum's grandfather a thousand times removed was very much as Unc' Billy is now, only he was a little more spry and knew better than to stuff himself so full that he couldn't run.
"엉클 빌리 주머니쥐의 천 대 조상은 지금의 엉클 빌리와 매우 비슷했는데, 다만 그는 좀 더 날렵했고 달릴 수 없을 만큼 잔뜩 배를 채우는 것은 하지 않을 만큼 영리했습니다.
