When he reached the castle, Michael went straight to the gardener and offered his services.

미카엘은 성에 도착하자마자 곧장 정원사에게 가서 자신의 봉사를 제안했습니다.

Now it happened that the garden boy had just been sent away, and though the Star Gazer did not look very sturdy, the gardener agreed to take him, as he thought that his pretty face and golden curls would please the princesses.

마침 정원사가 쫓겨났는데, 별 관측자는 그다지 튼튼해 보이지 않았지만, 정원사는 그의 예쁜 얼굴과 금발 곱슬머리가 공주들의 마음에 들 거라고 생각하여 그를 데려가기로 했다.

The first thing he was told was that when the princesses got up he was to present each one with a bouquet, and Michael thought that if he had nothing more unpleasant to do than that he should get on very well.

그가 처음 들은 것은 공주들이 일어나면 각 공주에게 꽃다발을 선물해야 한다는 것이었고, 미카엘은 그보다 더 불쾌한 일이 없다면 아주 잘 해낼 수 있을 거라고 생각했습니다.

Accordingly he placed himself behind the door of the princesses’ room, with the twelve bouquets in a basket.

그리하여 그는 열두 송이 꽃다발을 바구니에 담아 공주들의 방 문 뒤에 숨었습니다.

He gave one to each of the sisters, and they took them without even deigning to look at the lad, except Lina the youngest, who fixed her large black eyes as soft as velvet on him, and exclaimed, ‘Oh, how pretty he is—our new flower boy!’

그는 자매들에게 각각 하나씩 주었는데, 막내 리나를 제외하고는 자매들은 그 아이를 쳐다보지도 않고 받아들였다. 리나는 벨벳처럼 부드러운 커다란 검은 눈으로 그 아이를 바라보며 “어머, 정말 잘생겼네! 우리 새 꽃 파는 소년이구나!” 하고 외쳤다.

The rest all burst out laughing, and the eldest pointed out that a princess ought never to lower herself by looking at a garden boy.

나머지 사람들은 모두 웃음을 터뜨렸고, 맏이는 공주가 정원 소년을 쳐다보는 것으로 자신을 낮추어서는 안 된다고 지적했다.

Now Michael knew quite well what had happened to all the princes, but notwithstanding, the beautiful eyes of the Princess Lina inspired him with a violent longing to try his fate.

이제 마이클은 모든 왕자들에게 무슨 일이 일어났는지 잘 알고 있었지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 리나 공주의 아름다운 눈빛은 그에게 자신의 운명을 시험해 보고 싶은 강렬한 갈망을 불러일으켰다.

Unhappily he did not dare to come forward, being afraid that he should only be jeered at, or even turned away from the castle on account of his impudence.

불행히도 그는 앞으로 나아가지 못했습니다. 그가 무례하게 굴면 조롱을 받거나 심지어 성에서 쫓겨날까 두려웠기 때문입니다.
