Once upon a time there lived, in a small cottage among some hills, a woman with her son, and, to her great grief, the young man, though hardly more than twenty years of age, had not as much hair on his head as a baby.
옛날 옛적에 언덕 사이의 작은 오두막에 한 여인과 그녀의 아들이 살고 있었습니다. 그런데 여인은 매우 슬퍼했습니다. 그 젊은이는 스무 살 남짓 되었는데도 머리카락이 아기만큼이나 없었기 때문입니다.
But, old as he looked, the youth was very idle, and whatever trade his mother put him to he refused to work, and in a few days always came home again.
그러나 그 젊은이는 늙어 보였음에도 불구하고 매우 게을렀고, 어머니가 시키는 어떤 일도 하지 않고 며칠 만에 항상 집으로 돌아왔다.
On a fine summer morning he was lying as usual half asleep in the little garden in front of the cottage when the sultan's daughter came riding by, followed by a number of gaily dressed ladies.
어느 화창한 여름 아침, 그는 평소처럼 오두막 앞 작은 정원에서 반쯤 잠든 채 누워 있었는데, 그때 술탄의 딸이 화려하게 차려입은 여러 여인들을 뒤에 두고 말을 타고 지나갔습니다.
The youth lazily raised himself on his elbow to look at her, and that one glance changed his whole nature.
그 젊은이는 게으르게 팔꿈치로 몸을 일으켜 그녀를 바라보았는데, 그 한 번의 눈길이 그의 온 성품을 바꾸어 놓았다.
'I will marry her and nobody else,' he thought.
'나는 그녀와 결혼할 것이고 다른 누구와도 결혼하지 않을 것이다.'라고 그는 생각했다.
And jumping up, he went to find his mother.
그리고 그는 뛰어올라 어머니를 찾아 나섰습니다.
'You must go at once to the sultan, and tell him that I want his daughter for my wife,' he said.
'너는 즉시 술탄에게 가서 내가 그의 딸을 내 아내로 삼고 싶다고 전해야 한다'고 그가 말했다.
'WHAT?' shouted the old woman, shrinking back into a corner, for nothing but sudden madness could explain such an amazing errand.
'뭐라고요?' 노파는 소리치며 구석으로 움츠러들었다. 이런 놀라운 심부름은 갑작스러운 광기 외에는 설명할 수 없었기 때문이다.
