The Old Mother's Wisdom 4 한국어 원문 벽에 붙은 종이에는 중국에서 온 신하가 가지고 온 세 가지 문제가 적혀 있었어. 첫째, 구불구불한 구멍이 뚫려있는 구슬을 가느다린 실로 꿸 것. 둘째, 굵기가 똑같은 나무의 위아래를 가려낼 것. 셋째, 크기가 똑같은 두 마리의 암소 가운데 어미와 새끼를 가려낼 것. 중국에서 온 신하는 만약 이 문제들을 풀지 못하면 우리나라를 마음대로 하겠다고 으름장을 놓았지. 영어 번역문 On the note stuck to the wall there was an announcement with three problem riddles that a servant from China had brought. First, you must put a fine thread through a bead with a winded hole. Second, you must distinguish the top and bottom of a tree trunk, which has the exact same width on both ends. Third, you must distinguish two cows as the mother cow and its calf, which are of the same size. The servant from China threatened that if these riddles were not solved that they would do as they pleased with our country. |
