a three-rouble note lay hidden in his wife's box, and five roubles and twenty kopeks were owed him by customers in the village.
그의 아내의 상자 안에는 3루블짜리 지폐가 숨겨져 있었고, 마을의 고객들에게는 5루블 20코페크의 빚이 있었다.
So one morning he prepared to go to the village to buy the sheep-skins.
그래서 어느 날 아침 그는 양가죽을 사러 마을로 가려고 준비했습니다.
He put on over his shirt his wife's wadded nankeen jacket, and over that he put his own cloth coat.
그는 자기 셔츠 위에 아내의 솜으로 짠 난킨 재킷을 입고 그 위에 자기 천 코트를 입었다.
He took the three-rouble note in his pocket, cut himself a stick to serve as a staff, and started off after breakfast.
그는 주머니에 3루블짜리 지폐를 넣고 지팡이로 쓸 막대기를 잘라 아침 식사 후에 길을 나섰다.
"I'll collect the five roubles that are due to me," thought he, "add the three I have got, and that will be enough to buy sheep-skins for the winter coat."
"내게 돌아올 5루블을 모으고, 내가 가진 3루블을 더하면 겨울 외투에 쓸 양가죽을 사기에 충분하겠지."라고 그는 생각했다.
He came to the village and called at a peasant's hut, but the man was not at home.
그가 마을에 이르러 한 농부의 오두막에 들렀으나 그 사람은 집에 없었다.
The peasant's wife promised that the money should be paid next week, but she would not pay it herself.
농부의 아내는 다음 주에 돈을 지불하겠다고 약속했지만, 자신은 지불하지 않았습니다.
Then Simon called on another peasant, but this one swore he had no money, and would only pay twenty kopeks which he owed for a pair of boots Simon had mended.
그러자 시몬은 다른 농부를 찾아갔는데, 그 농부는 돈이 없다고 맹세하며 시몬이 수선해 준 신발 한 켤레 값으로 빚진 20코페크만 지불하겠다고 했습니다.
