Grimms’ Fairy Tales 037 – THE WHITE SNAKE – 007
But when the proud princess perceived that he was not her equal in birth, she scorned him, and required him first to perform another task.She went down into the garden and strewed with her own hands ten sacksful of millet-seed on the grass; then she said: ‘Tomorrow morning before sunrise these must be picked up, and not a single grain be wanting.’The youth sat down in the garden and considered how it might be possible to perform this task, but he could think of nothing, and there he sat sorrowfully awaiting the break of day, when he should be led to death.But as soon as the first rays of the sun shone into the garden he saw all the ten sacks standing side by side, quite full, and not a single grain was missing.The ant-king had come in the night with thousands and thousands of ants, and the grateful creatures had by great industry picked up all the millet-seed and gathered them into the sacks.Presently the king’s daughter herself came down into the garden, and was amazed to see that the young man had done the task she had given him

But when the proud princess / perceived that / he was not her equal in birth, / she scorned him, / and required him first / to perform another task.
그러나 자존심 강한 공주가 그가 그녀와 신분이 같지 않음을 깨달았을 때, 그녀는 그를 경멸하고 우선 다른 임무를 수행할 것을 요구했다.

She went down into the garden / and strewed with her own hands / ten sacksful of millet-seed on the grass; / then she said: ‘Tomorrow morning / before sunrise these must be picked up, / and not a single grain be wanting.’
그녀는 정원으로 내려가 자신의 손으로 풀밭에 기장 씨앗이 가득 찬 열 자루를 뿌렸다; 그리고 말했다. ‘내일 아침, 해가 뜨기 전에 이 모든 것을 주워야 하며, 단 하나의 씨앗도 빠지면 안 된다.’

The youth sat down in the garden / and considered how it might be possible / to perform this task, / but he could think of nothing, / and there he sat sorrowfully awaiting the break of day, / when he should be led to death.
젊은이는 정원에 앉아 이 일을 수행할 방법을 생각했지만, 아무것도 떠오르지 않았다. 그래서 그는 슬픈 마음으로 날이 밝아 오기를 기다렸다, 그가 죽음으로 이끌려 갈 때.

⦁ rays: 광선 – The sun’s rays / warmed the earth. (태양의 광선이 지구를 따뜻하게 했다.) ⦁ shone: 빛나다 – The gold ring shone / brightly in the light. (금반지가 빛에서 밝게 빛났다.) -
The ant-king / had come in the night / with thousands and thousands of ants, / and the grateful creatures had by great industry / picked up all the millet-seed / and gathered them / into the sacks.
