📖 The Good Brothers

(의좋은 형제)

옛날 옛적에 서로 아끼고 돕는 두 형제가 살고 있었어요.
[Yet-nal] [yet-jeo-ge] [seo-ro] [a-kki-go] [dob-neun] [du] [hyeong-je-ga] [sal-go] [i-sseo-sseo-yo].
Long ago, there lived two brothers who cared for and helped each other.

형은 결혼해서 아이들과 함께 살았고, 동생은 혼자 살았어요.
[Hyeong-eun] [gyeol-hon-hae-seo] [a-i-deul-gwa] [ham-kke] [sa-rat-go], [dong-saeng-eun] [hon-ja] [sa-ra-sseo-yo].
The older brother lived with his wife and children, while the younger brother lived alone.

두 사람은 부모님이 물려준 논을 함께 나누어 농사를 지었어요.
[Du] [sa-ram-eun] [bu-mo-ni-mi] [mul-lyeo-jun] [non-eul] [ham-kke] [na-nue-o] [nong-sa-reul] [ji-eo-sseo-yo].
They farmed the rice fields inherited from their parents and divided them equally.

추수가 끝난 날, 형은 동생이 혼자 외롭게 사는 것이 걱정되었어요.
[Chu-su-ga] [kkeut-nan] [nal], [hyeong-eun] [dong-saeng-i] [hon-ja] [oe-rop-ge] [sa-neun] [geo-si] [geok-jeong-doe-eo-sseo-yo].
After the harvest, the older brother worried that his younger brother lived all alone.

“아이가 없으니 노후에 누가 도와줄까?” 하고 걱정했어요.
“[A-i-ga] [eop-su-ni] [no-hue] [nu-ga] [do-wa-jul-kka]?” [ha-go] [geok-jeong-hae-sseo-yo].
“He has no children—who will help him when he gets old?” he thought.

그래서 밤중에 자신의 곡식을 몰래 동생의 곳간에 옮겨 두었어요.
[Geu-rae-seo] [bam-jung-e] [ja-sin-ui] [gok-sik-eul] [mol-lae] [dong-saeng-ui] [got-gan-e] [om-gyeo] [due-o-sseo-yo].
So in the night, he secretly moved some of his grain into his brother’s storage.

그런데 그 시각, 동생도 형이 가족을 부양하느라 힘들 것이라 생각했어요.
[Geu-reon-de] [geu] [si-gak], [dong-saeng-do] [hyeong-i] [ga-jok-eul] [bu-yang-ha-neu-ra] [him-deul] [geo-si-ra] [saeng-gak-hae-sseo-yo].
At the same time, the younger brother also worried that his older brother had a family to support.

“가족이 많으니 먹을 게 부족할 거야,” 라고 생각했어요.
“[Ga-jok-i] [man-eu-ni] [meo-geul] [ge] [bu-jok-hal] [geo-ya],”[ra-go] [saeng-gak-hae-sseo-yo].
“He has many mouths to feed; he might not have enough,” he thought.

그래서 동생도 밤중에 자신의 곡식을 형의 곳간으로 몰래 옮겼어요.
[Geu-rae-seo] [dong-saeng-do] [bam-jung-e] [ja-sin-ui] [gok-sik-eul] [hyeong-ui] [got-gan-eu-ro] [mol-lae] [om-gyeo-sseo-yo].
So he too moved some of his grain secretly to his brother’s storage.

이상하게도 날이 갈수록 두 사람의 곡식은 줄지 않았어요.
[I-sang-ha-ge-do] [nal-i] [gal-su-rok] [du] [sa-ram-ui] [gok-sik-eun] [jul-ji] [an-a-sseo-yo].
Strangely, their grain never seemed to decrease, even after giving it away.

어느 날 밤, 두 형제가 곡식을 옮기다 마주치게 되었어요.
[Eo-neu] [nal] [bam], [du] [hyeong-je-ga] [gok-sik-eul] [om-gi-da] [ma-ju-chi-ge] [doe-eo-sseo-yo].
One night, the two brothers met while carrying grain to each other's barns.

둘은 깜짝 놀랐지만 곧 서로를 껴안고 웃었어요.
[Dul-eun] [kkam-jjag] [nol-lat-ji-man] [got] [seo-ro-reul] [kkyeo-an-go] [u-seo-sseo-yo].
They were surprised at first, but then embraced and laughed.

그들은 서로의 마음을 이해하고 더 깊이 아끼게 되었어요.
[Geu-deul-eun] [seo-ro-ui] [ma-eum-eul] [i-hae-ha-go] [deo] [gi-pi] [a-kki-ge] [doe-eo-sseo-yo].
They understood each other's hearts and cherished each other even more.

사람들은 그날 밤을 “가장 아름다운 형제의 밤”이라고 불렀어요.
[Sa-ram-deul-eun] [geu-nal] [bam-eul] “[ga-jang] [a-reum-daun] [hyeong-je-ui] [bam]”[i-ra-go] [bul-leo-sseo-yo].
People called that night “the most beautiful night of brotherhood.”

그리고 형제의 사랑은 마을에 오래도록 전해졌어요.
[Geu-ri-go] [hyeong-je-ui] [sa-rang-eun] [ma-eul-e] [o-rae-do-rok] [jeon-hae-jyeo-sseo-yo].
And the brothers’ love was remembered in the village for generations.

이 이야기는 나눔과 형제애, 배려의 가치를 우리에게 알려줘요.
[I] [i-ya-gi-neun] [na-num-gwa] [hyeong-je-ae], [bae-ryeo-ui] [ga-chi-reul] [u-ri-e-ge] [al-lyeo-jwo-yo].
This story teaches us the values of sharing, brotherly love, and caring for others.
