Long, long ago, when the earth was very young, two hunters were traveling through the forest.
아주 오래전, 땅이 아주 어렸을 때, 두 사냥꾼이 숲을 지나가고 있었습니다.
They had been on the track of a deer for many days, and they were now far away from the village where they lived.
그들은 여러 날 동안 사슴의 흔적을 쫓았고, 이제 그들이 살던 마을에서 멀리 떨어져 있었습니다.
The sun went down and night came on.
해가 지고 밤이 되었습니다.
It was dark and gloomy, but over in the western sky there came a bright light.
어둡고 음침한 날씨였는데 서쪽 하늘에서 밝은 빛이 비추었다.
"It is the moon," said one.
“그것은 달입니다.”라고 한 사람이 말했다.
"No," said the other.
“아니요.” 다른 사람이 말했다.
"We have watched many and many a night to see the great, round moon rise above the trees.
"우리는 크고 둥근 달이 나무 위로 떠오르는 것을 보려고 밤마다 깨어 있었습니다."
That is not the moon.
저것은 달이 아닙니다.
