Old Mother West Wind — Page 2
But Reddy Fox and Peter Rabbit and Bobby Coon and Johnny Chuck and Jimmy Skunk and Happy Jack and Striped Chipmunk couldn't swim, so of course they couldn't play tag in the water or hide and seek or go down the slippery slide; all they could do was sit around to look on and wish that they knew how to swim, too.
하지만 레디 폭스와 피터 래빗과 바비 쿤과 조니 척과 지미 스컹크와 해피 잭과 줄무늬 다람쥐는 수영을 할 수 없었기 때문에, 물론 물속에서 술래잡기를 하거나 숨바꼭질을 하거나 미끄럼틀을 타고 내려갈 수 없었습니다. 그들이 할 수 있는 것이라곤 그저 둘러앉아 구경하면서 자신들도 수영을 할 줄 알았으면 좋겠다고 바라는 것뿐이었습니다.
So of course they didn't have a good time.
그러니 물론 그들은 즐거운 시간을 보내지 못했습니다.
Soon they began to wish that they hadn't come to Jerry Muskrat's party.
곧 그들은 제리 머스크랫의 파티에 오지 말았어야 했다고 바라기 시작했습니다.
When he found that they were not having a good time, poor Jerry Muskrat felt very badly indeed.
그들이 즐거운 시간을 보내지 못하고 있다는 것을 알았을 때, 불쌍한 제리 머스크랫은 정말로 매우 마음이 좋지 않았습니다.
You see he lives in the water so much that he had quite forgotten that there was anyone who couldn't swim, or he never, never would have invited all the little meadow folks who live on dry land.
그는 물속에서 너무 많은 시간을 보내다 보니 수영을 못하는 사람이 있다는 것을 까맣게 잊어버렸던 것입니다. 그렇지 않았다면 그는 절대로, 절대로 육지에 사는 작은 들판 친구들을 모두 초대하지 않았을 것입니다.
"Let's go home," said Peter Rabbit to Johnny Chuck.
"집에 가자," 피터 래빗이 조니 척에게 말했습니다.
"We can have more fun up on the hill," said Jimmy Skunk.
"언덕 위에서 더 재미있게 놀 수 있어," 지미 스컹크가 말했습니다.
Just then Little Joe Otter came pushing a great big log across the Smiling Pool.
바로 그때 꼬마 조 수달이 커다란 통나무를 스마일링 연못 위로 밀며 다가왔습니다.
"Here's a ship, Bobby Coon. You get on one end and I'll give you a sail across the Smiling Pool," shouted Little Joe Otter.
"여기 배가 있어, 바비 쿤. 한쪽 끝에 타면 내가 스마일링 연못을 가로질러 항해시켜 줄게," 꼬마 조 수달이 외쳤습니다.
So Bobby Coon crawled out on the big log and held on very tight, while little Joe Otter swam behind and pushed the big log.
그래서 바비 쿤은 커다란 통나무 위로 기어 올라가 꽉 붙잡았고, 꼬마 조 수달은 뒤에서 헤엄치며 큰 통나무를 밀었습니다.
Across the Smiling Pool they went and back again.
그들은 스마일링 연못을 가로질러 갔다가 다시 돌아왔습니다.
