   A 서아야, 아직도 울고 있어? 아빠 손수건 줄까? 코도 좀 풀고.

   Seoaya, ajikdo ulgo isseo? Appa sonsugeon julkka? Kodo jom pulgo.

   Seoa, are you still crying? Want Daddy's handkerchief? Blow your nose, too.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 응... 아빠, 뭉치가 진짜 하늘나라 간 거야? 아까 뭉치가 작은 항아리에 들어가는 거 보니까 더 슬펐어.

   Eung... appa, mungchiga jinjja haneullara gan geoya? Akka mungchiga jageun hangarie deureoganeun geo bonikka deo seulpeosseo.

   Yeah... Daddy, has Mungchi really gone to heaven? Seeing Mungchi go into that little jar earlier made me even sadder.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 응, 우리 강아지는 이제 안 아픈 곳에 갔어. 그래서 말인데, 오늘 밤에 뭉치 사진 앞에서 작별 인사를 해 주면 어떨까?

   Eung, uri gangajineun ije an apeun gose gasseo. Geuraeseo marinde, oneul bame mungchi sajin apeseo jakbyeol insareul hae jumyeon eotteolkka?

   Yes, our puppy's gone somewhere he doesn't hurt anymore. Which is why I was thinking - how about we say goodbye to him tonight in front of his photo?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 작별 인사? 편지처럼 써서 읽는 거? 벌써 뭉치가 너무 그리운데 그런 걸 어떻게 써.

   Jakbyeol insa? Pyeonjicheoreom sseoseo ingneun geo? Beolsseo mungchiga neomu geuriunde geureon geol eotteoke sseo.

   A goodbye? Like writing it as a letter and reading it? I already miss Mungchi so much. How can I write something like that?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 같이 쓰면 되지. 아빠가 먼저 해 볼게. "뭉치는 십오 년이나 우리 가족과 함께 살았으니만큼 우리 모두의 가슴속에 영원히 남을 것이다. 삼가 명복을 빈다."

   Gachi sseumyeon doeji. Appaga meonjeo hae bolge. "Mungchineun sibo nyeonina uri gajokgwa hamkke sarasseunimankeum uri moduui gaseumsoge yeongwonhi nameul geosida. Samga myeongbogeul binda."

   We can write it together. I'll go first. "Inasmuch as Mungchi lived with our family for fifteen years, he shall remain in all our hearts forever. May he rest in peace."

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 아빠, 그건 너무 어려워. 교장 선생님 말 같아. 뭉치는 그런 말 하나도 못 알아들어.

   Appa, geugeon neomu eoryeowo. Gyojang seonsaengnim mal gata. Mungchineun geureon mal hanado mot aradeureo.

   Daddy, that's too hard. It sounds like the principal talking. Mungchi wouldn't understand a word of that.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 하하, 그러네. 그럼 서아가 뭉치한테 제일 하고 싶은 말부터 해 봐.

   Haha, geureone. Geureom seoaga mungchihante jeil hago sipeun malbuteo hae bwa.

   Ha ha, you're right. Then you start by telling Mungchi what you most want to say to him.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 음... "뭉치야, 내 생일 케이크 혼자 다 먹어 치운 거 이제 용서해 줄게."

   Eum... "mungchiya, nae saengil keikeu honja da meogeo chiun geo ije yongseohae julge."

   Um... "Mungchi, I forgive you now for eating up my whole birthday cake by yourself."

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 아, 그 케이크! 우리가 초에 불 붙일 라이터 찾으러 간 사이에 감쪽같이 먹어 치웠지. 접시만 남아 있었잖아.

   A, geu keikeu! Uriga choe bul buchil raiteo chajeureo gan saie gamjjokgachi meogeo chiwotji. Jeopsiman nama isseotjana.

   Oh, that cake! While we went to look for a lighter for the candles, he polished it off without a trace. Only the plate was left.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 크림을 코에 묻히고 아무것도 안 먹은 척했잖아. 그때 엄마가 배 잡고 웃었어.

    Keurimeul koe muchigo amugeotdo an meogeun cheokaetjana. Geuttae eommaga bae japgo useosseo.

    He had cream on his nose and pretended he hadn't eaten anything. Mom laughed so hard she held her tummy.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그것뿐인 줄 알아? 아빠 양말은 몇 켤레나 허겁지겁 먹어 치웠는지 몰라. 한 번은 병원까지 갔잖아.

    Geugeotppunin jul ara? Appa yangmareun myeot kyeollena heogeopjigeop meogeo chiwonneunji molla. Han beoneun byeongwonkkaji gatjana.

    You think that's all? I don't even know how many pairs of my socks he gobbled down. Once we even had to take him to the vet.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 맞아, 의사 선생님이 뭉치 배에서 아빠 양말 나왔다고 했을 때 아빠 얼굴 완전 빨개졌어.

    Maja, uisa seonsaengnimi mungchi baeeseo appa yangmal nawatdago haesseul ttae appa eolgul wanjeon ppalgaejyeosseo.

    Right, when the vet said your sock came out of Mungchi's tummy, your face went totally red.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그 양말에 구멍이 나 있었거든. 병원 사람들이 다 봤잖아. 아빠는 그게 더 창피했어.

    Geu yangmare gumeongi na isseotgeodeun. Byeongwon saramdeuri da bwatjana. Appaneun geuge deo changpihaesseo.

    That sock had a hole in it, you see. Everyone at the clinic saw it. That was even more embarrassing for Daddy.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 하하... 아빠, 나 지금 울다가 웃었어. 이러면 엉덩이에 털 난다는데.

    Haha... appa, na jigeum uldaga useosseo. Ireomyeon eongdeongie teol nandaneunde.

    Ha ha... Daddy, I was crying and now I'm laughing. They say if you do that, you'll grow hair on your bottom.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 괜찮아, 뭉치도 털 많았잖아. 뭉치는 우리가 웃는 걸 제일 좋아했어. 이런 추억도 인사에 넣자.

    Gwaenchana, mungchido teol manatjana. Mungchineun uriga unneun geol jeil joahaesseo. Ireon chueokdo insae neocha.

    That's okay, Mungchi had lots of fur too. Mungchi loved it most when we laughed. Let's put memories like that in the goodbye too.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그럼 이렇게 쓸래. "뭉치야, 네가 케이크랑 양말을 먹어 치울 때마다 우리는 화내다가 웃었어."

    Geureom ireoke sseullae. "Mungchiya, nega keikeurang yangmareul meogeo chiul ttaemada urineun hwanaedaga useosseo."

    Then I'll write it like this: "Mungchi, every time you gobbled up cake and socks, we got cross and then we laughed."

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋다, 아빠가 쓴 어려운 문장보다 백 배 낫네. 그다음엔 뭐라고 쓸까?

    Jota, appaga sseun eoryeoun munjangboda baek bae nanne. Geudaeumen mworago sseulkka?

    That's good. A hundred times better than my difficult sentence. What shall we write next?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B "나보다 먼저 우리 집에 와서 나를 기다려 줘서 고마워. 이번엔 네가 무지개다리 건너서 우리를 기다려 줘."

    "Naboda meonjeo uri jibe waseo nareul gidaryeo jwoseo gomawo. Ibeonen nega mujigaedari geonneoseo urireul gidaryeo jwo."

    "Thank you for coming to our house before me and waiting for me. This time, you cross the Rainbow Bridge and wait for us."

    Line 18
19. 19

    A ...서아야, 그 줄은 아빠가 못 읽겠다. 읽다가 하염없이 울 것 같아.

    ...Seoaya, geu jureun appaga mot ilgetda. Ikdaga hayeomeopsi ul geot gata.

    ...Seoa, I don't think I can read that line. I'd start crying and never stop.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 그럼 그 줄은 내가 읽을게. 아빠는 양말 얘기 읽어. 그건 아빠가 제일 잘 알잖아.

    Geureom geu jureun naega ilgeulge. Appaneun yangmal yaegi ilgeo. Geugeon appaga jeil jal aljana.

    Then I'll read that line. You read the sock part. You know that one best.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 우리 서아, 언제 이렇게 의젓해졌어? 그래, 그렇게 하자. 뭉치가 들으면 꼬리를 막 흔들겠다.

    Uri seoa, eonje ireoke uijeotaejyeosseo? Geurae, geureoke haja. Mungchiga deureumyeon kkorireul mak heundeulgetda.

    When did you get so grown-up, Seoa? Okay, let's do that. If Mungchi could hear this, he'd be wagging his tail like mad.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 아빠, 집에 가면 뭉치 밥그릇에 케이크 한 조각 놔 주자. 이번엔 혼자 다 먹어 치워도 돼.

    Appa, jibe gamyeon mungchi bapgeureuse keikeu han jogak nwa juja. Ibeonen honja da meogeo chiwodo dwae.

    Daddy, when we get home, let's put a slice of cake in Mungchi's bowl. This time he's allowed to eat the whole thing by himself.

    Line 22
