Three girls carrying wood on their heads.

먼 옛날, 세 여자아이들이 나무를 가지러 밖에 나섰어요.

A long time ago, three girls went out to collect wood.

Il y a longtemps, trois filles sont sorties pour aller chercher du bois.


Three girls swimming in a river.

정말 더운 날이어서 그들은 강에 수영을 하러 갔어요. 물 속에서 놀고 물장구치고 수영했어요.

It was a hot day so they went down to the river to swim. They played and splashed and swam in the water.

C’était une journée très chaude, alors elles sont descendues à la rivière pour nager. Elles ont joué, fait des éclaboussures et nagé dans l’eau.


A silhouette of three girls carrying wood on their heads at sunset.

갑자기, 그들은 늦은 것을 깨달았어요. 마을로 급히 돌아갔어요.

Suddenly, they realised that it was late. They hurried back to the village.

Soudainement, elles se sont rendu compte qu’il était tard. Elles se sont dépêchées de rentrer au village.


Three girls carrying wood on their heads and one girl putting her hand to her neck.

집에 거의 다 왔을 때, 노지벨레는 목에 손을 댔어요. 목걸이를 깜빡했어요! “나랑 같이 돌아가!” 그녀는 친구들에게 부탁했어요. 그러나 친구들은 너무 늦었다고 말했어요.

When they were nearly home, Nozibele put her hand to her neck. She had forgotten her necklace! “Please come back with me!” she begged her friends. But her friends said it was too late.

Mais quand elles étaient presque arrivées chez elles, Nozibele mit sa main à son cou. Elle avait oublié son collier ! « S’il vous plaît, retournez avec moi ! » supplia-t-elle ses amies. Mais ses amies lui dirent que c’était trop tard.


Someone picking up a necklace sitting on a rock near a river.

그래서 노지벨레는 강으로 혼자 돌아갔어요. 목걸이를 찾아서 집으로 급히 돌아갔어요. 그러나 어둠 속에서 길을 잃고 말았어요.

So Nozibele went back to the river alone. She found her necklace and hurried home. But she got lost in the dark.

Ainsi Nozibele retourna à la rivière toute seule. Elle trouva son collier et se dépêcha de rentrer chez elle. Mais elle se perdit dans le noir.


A girl carrying wood on her head at night time and looking at a lit-up hut.

멀리서 그녀는 한 오두막에서 불빛을 보았어요. 그녀는 급히 달려가서 문을 두들겼어요.

In the distance she saw light coming from a hut. She hurried towards it and knocked at the door.

Au loin elle vit de la lumière qui venait d’une cabane. Elle se hâta vers la cabane et cogna à la porte.


A dog answering the door to a girl carrying wood on her head.

놀랍게도, 개 한마리가 문을 열고 “무슨 일이지?”라고 말했어요. “전 길을 잃었고 잘 곳이 필요해요,” 노지벨레가 말했어요. “들어와, 아니면 물어버릴꺼야!” 개가 말했어요. 그래서 노지벨레는 들어갔어요.

To her surprise, a dog opened the door and said, “What do you want?” “I’m lost and I need a place to sleep,” said Nozibele. “Come in, or I’ll bite you!” said the dog. So Nozibele went in.

À sa surprise, un chien ouvrit la porte et dit, « Qu’est-ce que tu veux ? » « Je suis perdue et j’ai besoin d’un endroit pour dormir, » dit Nozibele. « Rentre, sinon je te mords ! » dit le chien. Alors, Nozibele rentra.


A girl cooking and a dog standing next to her with their arms folded.

그러더니 개가 “요리해줘!”라고 말했어요. “하지만 전 개를 위해서 요리해 본 적이 없어요,” 그녀가 말했어요. “요리해, 아니면 물어버릴꺼야!” 개가 말했어요. 그래서 노지벨레는 개를 위해 음식을 만들었어요.

Then the dog said, “Cook for me!” “But I’ve never cooked for a dog before,” she answered. “Cook, or I’ll bite you!” said the dog. So Nozibele cooked some food for the dog.

Puis le chien dit, « Fais-moi à manger ! » « Mais je n’ai jamais cuisiné pour un chien auparavant, » répondit-elle. « Cuisine, sinon je te mords ! » dit le chien. Donc, Nozibele prépara de la nourriture pour le chien.


A girl making a bed with a dog standing next to her with their arms folded.

그리곤 개가 “침대를 정리해줘!”라고 말했어요. “전 개를 위해 침대를 정리해준 적이 없어요,” 노지벨레가 대답했어요. “침대를 정리해줘, 아니면 물어버릴꺼야!” 개가 말했어요. 그래서 노지벨레는 침대를 정리했어요.

Then the dog said, “Make the bed for me!” Nozibele answered, “I’ve never made a bed for a dog.” “Make the bed, or I’ll bite you!” the dog said. So Nozibele made the bed.

Ensuite, le chien dit, « Fais le lit pour moi ! » Nozibele répondit, « Je n’ai jamais fait de lit pour un chien. » « Fais le lit, sinon je te mords ! » dit le chien. Donc, Nozibele fit le lit.


A dog standing next to an open door talking to a girl and pointing.

매일 개를 위해 그녀는 요리하고 쓸고 닦았어요. 어느 날 개가 “노지벨레, 난 오늘 친구들을 만나러 가야해. 내가 오기 전에 집을 쓸고, 음식을 만들고, 내 물건을 닦아놔.” 라고 말했어요.

Every day she had to cook and sweep and wash for the dog. Then one day the dog said, “Nozibele, today I have to visit some friends. Sweep the house, cook the food and wash my things before I come back.”

Chaque jour, elle devait cuisiner et balayer et laver pour le chien. Puis un jour le chien dit, « Nozibele, aujourd’hui je dois rendre visite à des amis. Balaye la maison, fais à manger et lave mes affaires avant mon retour. »


Someone putting a hair under a bed, behind a door and by a fence.

개가 가자 마자, 노지벨레는 세 머리카락을 머리에서 뽑았어요. 한 머리카락은 침대 아래, 하나는 문 뒤에, 하나는 크랄 안에 두었어요. 그리고 그녀는 집으로 가능한 최대한 빨리 달려갔어요.

As soon as the dog had gone, Nozibele took three hairs from her head. She put one hair under the bed, one behind the door, and one in the kraal. Then she ran home as fast as she could.

Aussitôt que le chien fut parti, Nozibele prit trois cheveux de sa tête. Elle en mit un sous le lit, un derrière la porte et un dans le kraal. Puis elle rentra chez elle en courant aussi vite qu’elle pouvait.


An angry-looking dog.

개가 돌아왔을 때, 노지벨레를 찾았어요. “노지벨레, 어디있어?” 개가 외쳤어요. “여기 있어요, 침대 아래,” 첫번째 머리카락이 말했어요. “여기 있어요, 문 뒤에,” 두번째 머리카락이 말했어요. “여기 있어요, 크랄 안에,” 세번째 머리카락이 말했어요.

When the dog came back, he looked for Nozibele. “Nozibele, where are you?” he shouted. “I’m here, under the bed,” said the first hair. “I’m here, behind the door,” said the second hair. “I’m here, in the kraal,” said the third hair.

Quand le chien revint, il chercha Nozibele. « Nozibele, où es-tu ? » cria-t-il. « Je suis ici, sous le lit, » dit le premier cheveu. « Je suis ici, derrière la porte, » dit le deuxième cheveu. « Je suis ici, dans le kraal, » dit le troisième cheveu.


Three boys waving sticks and a girl standing behind them.

그제서야 개는 노지벨레가 자신을 속인 것을 알았어요. 그는 마을로 달리고 달려갔죠. 그러나 노지벨레의 오빠들이 커다란 몽둥이를 들고 기다리고 있었어요. 개는 몸을 돌려 도망갔고 다시는 보이지 않았어요.

Then the dog knew that Nozibele had tricked him. So he ran and ran all the way to the village. But Nozibele’s brothers were waiting there with big sticks. The dog turned and ran away and has never been seen since.

Ainsi le chien sut que Nozibele l’avait trompé. Il courut et courut jusqu’au village. Mais les frères de Nozibele l’attendaient avec des gros bâtons. Le chien vira de bord et s’enfuit et on ne l’a pas revu depuis.
