어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 9 "No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another." So I made another drawing. My friend smiled gently and indulgenty. "You see yourself," he said, "hat this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns." So then I did my drawing over once more. But it was rejected too, just like the others. "This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time." By this time my patience was exhau..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 8 When a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey. Absurd as it might seem to me, a thousand miles from any human habitation and in danger of death, I took out of my pocket a sheet of paper and my fountain-pen. But then I remembered how my studies had been concentrated on geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar, and I told the little chap (a little crossly, too) that I did not know ho..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 7 I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness. Here you may see the best potrait that, later, I was able to make of him. But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model. That, however, is not my fault. The grown-ups discour..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 6 So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara, six years ago. Something was broken in my engine. And as I had with me neither a mechanic nor any passengers, I set myself to attempt the difficult repairs all alone. It was a question of life or death for me: I had scarcely enough drinking water to last a week. Th..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 -5 Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say: "That is a hat." Then I would never talk to that person about boa constric-tors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would b..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 -4 The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from inside or the outsie, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by failure of my Drawing Number Ond and my Drawing Number Two. Grown..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 -3 I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, an asked them whether the drawing frightend them. But they answered. "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?" My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew inside of the boa constrictor, so that the gr..

어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 -2 Once when I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picure on a book, called "True stories from Nature" about the primeval forest. It was a picture a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing. In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that ..
