📖 The Magpie and the Tiger

(까치와 호랑이)

옛날 옛적에 깊은 산속에 까치 한 마리가 살고 있었어요.
[Yet-nal] [yet-jeo-ge] [gip-eun] [san-sok-e] [kka-chi] [han] [ma-ri-ga] [sal-go] [i-sseo-sseo-yo].
Long ago, deep in the mountains, there lived a magpie.

그 까치는 부지런하고 착해서 동물 친구들에게 인기가 많았어요.
[Geu] [kka-chi-neun] [bu-ji-reon-ha-go] [chak-hae-seo] [dong-mul] [chin-gu-deul-e-ge] [in-gi-ga] [ma-na-sseo-yo].
The magpie was hardworking and kind, and well liked by other animals.

어느 날, 까치는 나뭇가지에 앉아 쉬고 있다가 이상한 소리를 들었어요.
[Eo-neu] [nal], [kka-chi-neun] [na-mut-ga-ji-e] [an-ja] [swi-go] [it-da-ga-seo] [i-sang-han] [so-ri-reul] [deu-reo-sseo-yo].
One day, while resting on a branch, the magpie heard a strange sound.

가까이 다가가 보니 커다란 호랑이가 덫에 걸려 있었어요.
[Ga-kkai] [da-ga-ga] [bo-ni] [keo-da-ran] [ho-rang-i-ga] [deot-e] [geol-lyeo] [i-sseo-sseo-yo].
When it got closer, it saw a big tiger caught in a trap.

호랑이는 고통스러워하며 덫에서 벗어나고 싶어 했어요.
[Ho-rang-i-neun] [go-tong-sseu-reo-wo-ha-myeo] [deot-e-seo] [beo-seo-na-go] [si-peo-hae-sseo-yo].
The tiger was in pain and desperately wanted to escape the trap.

“까치야, 제발 나를 좀 도와주겠니?” 하고 호랑이가 말했어요.
“[Kka-chi-ya], [je-bal] [na-reul] [jom] [do-wa-ju-get-ni]?” [ha-go] [ho-rang-i-ga] [mal-hae-sseo-yo].
“Magpie, please help me,” the tiger pleaded.

까치는 망설였지만 불쌍한 마음에 덫을 풀어주었어요.
[Kka-chi-neun] [mang-seo-ryeot-ji-man] [bul-ssang-han] [ma-eum-e] [deot-eul] [pu-reo-ju-eo-sseo-yo].
The magpie hesitated but pitied the tiger and released the trap.

호랑이는 풀려나자마자 표정을 바꾸고 까치를 노려보았어요.
[Ho-rang-i-neun] [pul-lyeo-na-ja-ma-ja] [pyo-jeong-eul] [ba-kku-go] [kka-chi-reul] [no-ryeo-bo-a-sseo-yo].
As soon as it was free, the tiger changed its expression and glared at the magpie.

“너를 먹으면 더 건강해질 것 같다!” 하며 호랑이가 말했어요.
“[Neo-reul] [meo-geu-myeon] [deo] [geon-gang-hae-jil] [geot] [ga-ta]!” [ha-myeo] [ho-rang-i-ga] [mal-hae-sseo-yo].
“If I eat you, I’ll get stronger!” said the tiger.

놀란 까치는 급히 “그럼 현명한 자에게 판단을 부탁하자”고 했어요.
[Nol-lan] [kka-chi-neun] [geup-hi] “[Geu-reom] [hyeon-myeong-han] [ja-e-ge] [pan-dan-eul] [bu-tak-ha-ja]”[go] [hae-sseo-yo].
Frightened, the magpie quickly suggested asking a wise one to judge.

호랑이는 동의했고, 둘은 길을 따라 판관을 찾으러 갔어요.
[Ho-rang-i-neun] [dong-ui-haet-go], [dur-eun] [gil-eul] [tta-ra] [pan-gwan-eul] [cha-jeu-reo] [ga-sseo-yo].
The tiger agreed, and they went off in search of a wise judge.

처음 만난 나무는 “은혜를 모르면 짐승과 같다”고 말했어요.
[Cheo-eum] [man-nan] [na-mu-neun] “[Eun-hye-reul] [mo-reu-myeon] [jim-seung-gwa] [gat-da]”[go] [mal-hae-sseo-yo].
The first tree they met said, “Not knowing gratitude makes you no better than a beast.”

다음으로 만난 개울도 “은혜를 배신하는 것은 잘못”이라고 했어요.
[Dae-um-eu-ro] [man-nan] [gae-ul-do] “[Eun-hye-reul] [bae-sin-ha-neun] [geo-seun] [jal-mot]”[i-ra-go] [hae-sseo-yo].
The next stream said, “Betraying kindness is wrong.”

마지막으로 만난 할아버지는 상황을 자세히 듣고 꾀를 냈어요.
[Ma-ji-mak-eu-ro] [man-nan] [ha-ra-beo-ji-neun] [sang-hwang-eul] [ja-se-hi] [deut-go] [kkwe-reul] [nae-sseo-yo].
An old man they finally met listened carefully and came up with a plan.

“호랑이야, 다시 덫에 들어가서 상황을 재현해 보아라,” 하고 말했어요.
“[Ho-rang-i-ya], [da-si] [deot-e] [deu-reo-ga-seo] [sang-hwang-eul] [jae-hyeon-hae-bo-a-ra],” [ha-go] [mal-hae-sseo-yo].
“Tiger, go back into the trap so we can recreate what happened,” he said.

호랑이가 덫에 들어가자 할아버지는 까치에게 얼른 도망치라고 했어요.
[Ho-rang-i-ga] [deot-e] [deu-reo-ga-ja] [ha-ra-beo-ji-neun] [kka-chi-e-ge] [eol-leun] [do-mang-chi-ra-go] [hae-sseo-yo].
As soon as the tiger entered the trap again, the old man told the magpie to run away.

까치는 날개를 퍼덕이며 감사 인사를 하고 날아갔어요.
[Kka-chi-neun] [nal-gae-reul] [peo-deo-gi-myeo] [gam-sa] [in-sa-reul] [ha-go] [na-ra-ga-sseo-yo].
The magpie flapped its wings, thanked him, and flew away.

호랑이는 다시 덫에 갇힌 채 아무도 도와주지 않았어요.
[Ho-rang-i-neun] [da-si] [deot-e] [gat-chin] [chae] [a-mu-do] [do-wa-ju-gi] [an-ha-sseo-yo].
The tiger was left trapped again, with no one willing to help this time.

이 이야기는 은혜를 잊지 말고, 받은 만큼 돌려줘야 한다는 교훈을 줘요.
[I] [i-ya-gi-neun] [eun-hye-reul] [it-ji] [mal-go], [bad-eun] [man-keum] [dol-lyeo-jwo-ya] [han-da-neun] [gyo-hun-eul] [jwo-yo].
This story teaches us never to forget kindness and to return it when we can.
