One morning as little "Sir" Bevis was digging in the farmhouse garden, he saw a daisy, and throwing aside his spade, he sat down on the grass to pick the flower to pieces.

어느 날 아침, 어린 "베비스 경"이 농가 정원에서 땅을 파다가 데이지꽃을 보고 삽을 던져 버리고 풀밭에 앉아 꽃을 뜯어 먹기 시작했습니다.

He pulled the pink-tipped petals off one by one, and as they dropped they were lost.

그는 분홍색 끝부분이 있는 꽃잎들을 하나씩 떼어냈고, 그것들은 떨어지면서 사라졌습니다.

Next he gathered a bright dandelion, and squeezed the white juice from the hollow stem, which drying presently, left his fingers stained with brown spots.

다음으로 그는 밝은 민들레를 꺾어 속이 빈 줄기에서 하얀 즙을 짜냈는데, 그 즙이 마르자 그의 손가락에 갈색 반점이 생겼습니다.

Then he drew forth a bennet from its sheath, and bit and sucked it till his teeth were green from the sap.

그런 다음 그는 베넷 열매를 껍질에서 꺼내어 이빨이 수액으로 초록색이 될 때까지 물고 빨았습니다.

Lying at full length, he drummed the earth with his toes, while the tall grass blades tickled his cheeks.

그는 몸을 쭉 펴고 발가락으로 땅을 두드렸는데, 키 큰 풀잎들이 그의 뺨을 간지럽혔다.

Presently, rolling on his back, he drummed again with his heels.

그러자 그는 등을 대고 누워 다시 발꿈치로 두드렸다.

He looked up at the blue sky, but only for a moment, because the glare of light was too strong in his eyes.

그는 푸른 하늘을 올려다보았으나, 빛이 너무 강렬하여 눈이 부셨기 때문에 잠시 동안만 바라보았다.

After a minute, he turned on his side, thrust out one arm, placed his head on it, and drew up one knee, as if going to sleep.

잠시 후 그는 옆으로 돌아누워 한쪽 팔을 뻗고 그 위에 머리를 얹고 한쪽 무릎을 끌어올려 마치 잠이 드는 듯했습니다.
