When Rollo was between five and six years old, he was one day at work in his little garden, planting some beans.
롤로가 다섯 살에서 여섯 살 사이였을 때, 어느 날 그는 작은 텃밭에서 콩을 심고 있었습니다.
His father had given him a little square bed in a corner of the garden, which he had planted with corn two days before.
그의 아버지는 그에게 정원 한쪽 구석에 작은 네모난 밭을 주셨는데, 이틀 전에 거기에 옥수수를 심으셨습니다.
He watched his corn impatiently for two days, and, as it did not come up, he thought he would plant it again with beans.
그는 이틀 동안 옥수수를 애타게 바라보았으나 싹이 나지 않자 콩을 다시 심기로 생각했다.
He ought to have waited longer.
그는 좀 더 기다렸어야 했다.
He was sitting on a little cricket, digging holes in the ground, when he heard a sudden noise.
그가 작은 귀뚜라미 위에 앉아 땅에 구멍을 파고 있을 때 갑자기 소리가 들렸습니다.
He started up, and saw a strange, monstrous head looking at him over the garden wall.
그가 일어나 보니 정원 담 너머로 이상하고 끔찍한 머리가 그를 쳐다보고 있었다.
He jumped up, and ran as fast as he could towards the house.
그는 벌떡 일어나 집을 향해 최대한 빨리 달려갔다.
It happened that Jonas, the boy, was at that time at work in the yard, cutting wood, and he called out, “What is the matter, Rollo?”
그때 소년 요나가 마당에서 나무를 자르고 있었는데, 그가 “롤로, 무슨 일이야?” 하고 불렀다.
