¢º A certain Persian nobleman obtained from a cow gipsy a small oyster. Holding him up by the beard, he addressed him thus: "You must try to forgive me for what I am about to do; and you might as well set about it at once, for you haven't much time. I should never think of swallowing you if it were not so easy; but opportunity is the strongest of all temptations. Besides, I am an orphan, and very hungry."... People who begin doing something from a selfish motive frequently drop it when they learn that it is a real benevolence. ¢¹ ¾î¶² Æ丣½Ã¾Æ ±ÍÁ·Àº ¼ÒÀÇ Áý½Ã¿¡°Ô¼ ÀÛÀº ±¼À» ¾ò¾ú½À´Ï´Ù. ±×´Â ¼ö¿°À» ºÙµé°í ÀÌ·¸°Ô ¸»Çß½À´Ï´Ù.

¢º THE GRATEFUL BEAR. I hope all my little readers have heard the story of Mr. Androcles and the lion; so I will relate it as nearly as I can remember it, with the caution that Androcles must not be confounded with the lion. If I had a picture representing Androcles with a silk hat, and the lion with a knot in his tail, the two might readily be distinguished; but the artist says he won't make any such picture, and we must try to get on without. ¢¹ °í¸¶¿î °õ. ³ª´Â ³ªÀÇ ¾î¸° µ¶ÀÚµéÀÌ ¸ðµÎ ¾Èµå·ÎŬ·¹½º ¾¾¿Í »çÀÚÀÇ À̾߱⸦ µé¾ú±â¸¦ ¹Ù¶ø´Ï´Ù. ±×·¡¼ ³ª´Â ¾Èµå·ÎŬ·¹½º¸¦ »çÀÚ¿Í È¥µ¿Çؼ´Â ¾È µÈ´Ù´Â Á¡À» ÁÖÀÇÇÏ¸é¼ ³»°¡ ±â¾ïÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ´Â ÇÑ ÃÖ´ëÇÑ °¡±õ°Ô À̾߱âÇÏ°Ú½À´Ï´Ù. ºñ´Ü ¸ðÀÚ¸¦ ¾´ ¾Èµå·ÎŬ·¹½º¿Í ²¿¸®¿¡ ¸ÅµìÀÌ ÀÖ´Â »çÀÚÀÇ ±×¸²ÀÌ ÀÖ´Ù¸é ±× µÑÀº ½±°Ô ±¸º°µÉ ¼ö ÀÖÀ» °ÍÀÔ´Ï´Ù. ±×·¯³ª ¿¹¼ú°¡´Â ±×·± ±×¸²Àº ¸¸µéÁö ¾ÊÀ» °ÍÀÌ¸ç ¿ì¸®´Â ±×°Í ¾øÀ̵µ °è¼Ó ³ª¾Æ°¡µµ·Ï ³ë·ÂÇØ¾ß ÇÑ´Ù°í ¸»Çß½À´Ï´Ù.
¢º THE CIVIL SERVICE IN FLORIDA. Colonel Bulper was of a slumberous turn. Most people are not: they work all day and sleep all night?are always in one or the other condition of unrest, and never slumber. Such persons, the Colonel used to remark, are fit only for sentry duty; they are good to watch our property while we take our rest?and they take the property. But this tale is not of them; it is of Colonel Bulper. ¢¹ Ç÷θ®´ÙÀÇ °ø¹«¿ø ¼ºñ½º. ¹úÆÛ ´ë·ÉÀº Àá¿¡ ºüÁ® ÀÖ¾ú½À´Ï´Ù. ´ëºÎºÐÀÇ »ç¶÷µéÀº ±×·¸Áö ¾Ê½À´Ï´Ù. ±×µéÀº ÇÏ·ç Á¾ÀÏ ÀÏÇÏ°í ¹ã»õ ÀáÀ» ÀÚ°í Ç×»ó ºÒ¾ÈÇÑ »óÅ¿¡ ÀÖÀ¸¸ç °áÄÚ ÀáÀ» ÀÚÁö ¾Ê½À´Ï´Ù. ´ë·ÉÀº ±×·¯ÇÑ »ç¶÷µéÀº º¸ÃÊ ÀÓ¹«¿¡¸¸ ÀûÇÕÇÏ´Ù°í ¸»Çß½À´Ï´Ù. ¿ì¸®°¡ ½¬´Â µ¿¾È ±×µéÀº ¿ì¸® Àç»êÀ» ÁöÄÑÁÖ´Â °ÍÀÌ ÁÁÀ¸¸ç, ±×µéÀº Àç»êÀ» »©¾Ñ¾Æ°©´Ï´Ù.

¢º STRINGING A BEAR. "I was looking for my horse one morning, up in the San Joaquin Valley," said old Sandy Fowler, absently stirring the camp fire, "when I saw a big bull grizzly lying in the sunshine, picking his teeth with his claws, and smiling, as if he said, 'You need not mind the horse, old fellow; he's been found.' I at once gave a loud whoop, which I thought would be heard by the boys in the camp, and prepared to string the brute." ¢¹ °õÀ» ¹´Â °Í.
