Opening the reader…
한 정직한 농부에게 오랫동안 충실한 일꾼이었던 당나귀가 한 마리 있었는데, 이제는 늙어서 날이 갈수록 일을 감당하기 어려워지고 있었다.
An honest farmer had once an ass that had been a faithful servant to him a great many years, but was now growing old and every day more and more unfit for work.
그래서 주인은 당나귀를 먹이는 데 싫증이 나 그를 없애버릴 생각을 하기 시작했다. 하지만 무슨 불길한 일이 벌어지려 한다는 것을 눈치챈 당나귀는 몰래 빠져나와 큰 도시를 향해 길을 떠났다. ‘그곳에 가면 음악가가 될 수 있을 거야.’ 당나귀는 생각했다.
His master therefore was tired of keeping him and began to think of putting an end to him; but the ass, who saw that some mischief was in the wind, took himself slyly off, and began his journey towards the great city, ‘For there,’ thought he, ‘I may turn musician.’
길을 조금 가다가 당나귀는 길가에 누워 피곤한 듯 헐떡이는 개를 발견했다. “친구, 왜 그렇게 헐떡이고 있나?” 당나귀가 물었다. “아!”
After he had travelled a little way, he spied a dog lying by the roadside and panting as if he were tired. ‘What makes you pant so, my friend?’ said the ass. ‘Alas!’
개가 대답했다. “주인님이 나를 때려죽이려 하셔. 내가 늙고 약해져서 더는 사냥에 도움이 되지 않기 때문이지. 그래서 도망쳐 나왔는데, 이제 어떻게 먹고살아야 할지 모르겠어.” “이보게!”
said the dog, ‘my master was going to knock me on the head, because I am old and weak, and can no longer make myself useful to him in hunting; so I ran away; but what can I do to earn my livelihood?’ ‘Hark ye!’
당나귀가 말했다. “나는 음악가가 되려고 큰 도시로 가는 길인데, 자네도 나와 함께 가서 같은 일을 해보는 게 어떤가?” 개는 좋다고 했고, 둘은 함께 길을 재촉했다.
said the ass, ‘I am going to the great city to turn musician: suppose you go with me, and try what you can do in the same way?’ The dog said he was willing, and they jogged on together.
얼마 가지 않아 그들은 길 한가운데 앉아 아주 비통한 표정을 짓고 있는 고양이를 보았다. “이보게, 아주머니, 무슨 일인가? 기운이 하나도 없어 보이는군!” 당나귀가 말했다. “아이고!”
They had not gone far before they saw a cat sitting in the middle of the road and making a most rueful face. ‘Pray, my good lady,’ said the ass, ‘what’s the matter with you? You look quite out of spirits!’ ‘Ah, me!’
고양이가 말했다. “목숨이 위태로운데 어떻게 기운이 날 수 있겠어?
said the cat, ‘how can one be in good spirits when one’s life is in danger?
내가 늙기 시작해서 집 안에서 쥐를 쫓아다니는 것보다 난롯가에서 편히 쉬는 것을 더 좋아하게 되자, 주인 아주머니가 나를 붙잡아 물에 빠뜨려 죽이려 했어. 운 좋게 도망쳐 나오긴 했지만, 이제 무엇을 먹고 살아야 할지 모르겠어.”
Because I am beginning to grow old, and had rather lie at my ease by the fire than run about the house after the mice, my mistress laid hold of me, and was going to drown me; and though I have been lucky enough to get away from her, I do not know what I am to live upon.’
“오.” 당나귀가 말했다. “무슨 일이 있어도 우리와 함께 큰 도시로 가세. 자네는 밤에 노래를 잘하니 음악가로 성공할 수 있을 거야.” 고양이는 그 생각에 기뻐하며 일행에 합류했다.
‘Oh,’ said the ass, ‘by all means go with us to the great city; you are a good night singer, and may make your fortune as a musician.’ The cat was pleased with the thought, and joined the party.
얼마 지나지 않아 그들이 어느 농가를 지나갈 때, 대문 위에 앉아 목청껏 울어대는 수탉을 보았다. “브라보!” 당나귀가 말했다. “정말 대단한 소리로군. 도대체 무슨 일인가?”
Soon afterwards, as they were passing by a farmyard, they saw a cock perched upon a gate, and screaming out with all his might and main. ‘Bravo!’ said the ass; ‘upon my word, you make a famous noise; pray what is all this about?’
“글쎄.” 수탉이 말했다. “방금 빨래하는 날에 날씨가 좋을 거라고 말하고 있었는데, 주인 아주머니와 요리사는 내 노고에 고마워하기는커녕 내일 내 목을 쳐서 일요일에 올 손님들을 위한 국을 끓이겠다고 위협하고 있어!”
‘Why,’ said the cock, ‘I was just now saying that we should have fine weather for our washing-day, and yet my mistress and the cook don’t thank me for my pains, but threaten to cut off my head tomorrow, and make broth of me for the guests that are coming on Sunday!’
“절대 안 될 말이지!” 당나귀가 말했다. “우리와 함께 가세, 샹티클레르 씨. 여기서 목이 잘리는 것보다는 훨씬 나을 테니까! 게다가 누가 알겠나?
‘Heaven forbid!’ said the ass, ‘come with us Master Chanticleer; it will be better, at any rate, than staying here to have your head cut off! Besides, who knows?
우리가 화음을 맞춰 노래한다면 멋진 음악회를 열 수 있을지도 모르지. 그러니 함께 가세.” “기꺼이 그러지.” 수탉이 말했다. 그래서 넷은 함께 즐겁게 길을 떠났다.
If we care to sing in tune, we may get up some kind of a concert; so come along with us.’ ‘With all my heart,’ said the cock: so they all four went on jollily together.
하지만 그들은 첫날에 큰 도시에 도착할 수 없었다. 그래서 밤이 되자 잠을 자기 위해 숲으로 들어갔다.
They could not, however, reach the great city the first day; so when night came on, they went into a wood to sleep.
