ONCE upon a time there were a King and a Queen who were very unhappy because they had no children.

옛날에 자녀가 없어서 매우 불행한 왕과 왕비가 있었습니다.

Everything else that the heart could wish for was theirs.

마음이 바라는 그 밖의 모든 것은 그들의 것이었습니다.

They were rich; they lived in a wonderful palace full of the costliest treasures; their kingdom was at peace, and their people were prosperous.

그들은 부유하여 값비싼 보물로 가득 찬 아름다운 궁궐에 살았으며, 그들의 나라는 평화로웠고 백성은 번영했습니다.

Yet none of these things contented them, because they wanted a little child of their own to love and to care for, and though they had been married several years, no child had come to them.

그러나 이 모든 것으로는 그들을 만족시킬 수 없었습니다. 그들은 사랑하고 돌볼 자기 아이가 필요했기 때문입니다. 그들이 결혼한 지 여러 해가 되었지만 아이가 없었습니다.

Every day the King would look at the Queen and say: "Ah, if we only had a little child," and the Queen would look at the King and sigh, and they were both very miserable about it.

왕은 매일 왕비를 바라보며 “아, 우리에게 어린아이 하나만 있었더라면…” 하고 말하곤 했고, 왕비는 왕을 바라보며 한숨을 쉬며 둘 다 그것 때문에 매우 괴로워했습니다.

Then they would put on their golden crowns and sit side by side on their thrones, while lords and ladies and ambassadors from other lands came to pay them homage, and they had to smile with their lips for the sake of politeness, but there was no joy in their hearts.

그러면 그들은 금관을 쓰고 왕좌에 나란히 앉았는데, 다른 나라에서 온 귀족과 사신들이 그들에게 경의를 표하러 왔을 때, 그들은 예의상 입으로는 미소를 지어야 했지만 마음속으로는 기쁨이 없었습니다.

And that is one of the greatest disadvantages of being a King or a Queen, that one has always to hide one's feelings.

왕이나 여왕이 되는 가장 큰 단점 중 하나는 항상 자신의 감정을 숨겨야 한다는 것입니다.

Now it happened one day that the Queen went to her bath, and having dismissed her ladies, she descended the marble steps into the water and began idly to play with some wild rose-petals which had fallen into the water.

어느 날 왕비가 목욕하러 갔는데, 시녀들을 보내고 대리석 계단을 내려가 물속에 들어가 물에 떨어진 들장미 꽃잎을 가지고 한가롭게 놀기 시작했습니다.
