   A 소연아, 이것 좀 봐. 아까 버스 정류장 의자 밑에서 지갑을 주웠어.

   Soyeona, igeot jom bwa. Akka beoseu jeongnyujang uija miteseo jigabeul juwosseo.

   Soyeon, look at this. I found a wallet under the bench at the bus stop just now.

   B 헐, 누가 떨어뜨렸나 보네. 안에 뭐 들었어?

   Heol, nuga tteoreotteuryeonna bone. Ane mwo deureosseo?

   Whoa, someone must have dropped it. What's inside?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 현금이 삼십만 원이나 있어. 근데 신분증도 카드도 없고, 가족사진 한 장만 들어 있어.

   Hyeongeumi samsimman wonina isseo. Geunde sinbunjeungdo kadeudo eopgo, gajoksajin han jangman deureo isseo.

   There's three hundred thousand won in cash. But no ID, no cards, just one family photo.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 삼십만 원? 누군지 몰라도 지금쯤 엄청 찾고 있겠다.

   Samsimman won? Nugunji mollado jigeumjjeum eomcheong chatgo itgetda.

   Three hundred thousand? Whoever it is, they must be searching everywhere for it right now.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 근데 솔직히 말하면 좀 흔들려. 신분증도 없으니까 주인을 찾을 방법도 없잖아. 내가 시치미 떼면 아무도 모를 거야.

   Geunde soljiki malhamyeon jom heundeullyeo. Sinbunjeungdo eopseunikka juineul chajeul bangbeopdo eopjana. Naega sichimi ttemyeon amudo moreul geoya.

   But honestly, I'm a bit tempted. There's no ID, so there's no way to find the owner anyway. If I just played dumb, nobody would ever know.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 야, 무슨 소리야. 정류장 CCTV에 다 찍혔으면 어쩌려고?

   Ya, museun soriya. Jeongnyujang CCTVe da jjikyeosseumyeon eojjeoryeogo?

   Hey, what are you saying? What if the bus-stop camera caught the whole thing?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 농담이야, 농담. 근데 내 비상금보다 많은 돈을 보니까 순간 욕심이 나더라.

   Nongdamiya, nongdam. Geunde nae bisanggeumboda maneun doneul bonikka sungan yoksimi nadeora.

   I'm joking, joking. But seeing more money than I have in my emergency fund, I did get greedy for a second.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 하긴, 요즘 같은 때 현금 삼십만 원이면 누구라도 흔들릴 법하지. 나라도 잠깐은 망설였을 거야.

   Hagin, yojeum gateun ttae hyeongeum samsimman wonimyeon nugurado heundeullil beopaji. Narado jamkkaneun mangseoryeosseul geoya.

   Well, times being what they are, three hundred thousand in cash would tempt anyone. Even I'd have hesitated for a moment.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그치? 나만 나쁜 사람인 줄 알았네.

   Geuchi? Naman nappeun saramin jul aranne.

   Right? I thought it was just me being a bad person.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그래도 흔들리는 거랑 진짜 가지는 건 다르지. 나중에 죄책감 때문에 더 괴로울걸? 이 사진 좀 봐. 돌잔치 사진 같은데.

    Geuraedo heundeullineun georang jinjja gajineun geon dareuji. Najunge joechaekgam ttaemune deo goeroulgeol? I sajin jom bwa. Doljanchi sajin gateunde.

    Still, being tempted and actually keeping it are different things. You'd feel so guilty later it would eat at you. Look at this photo. It looks like it's from a first-birthday party.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 진짜네. 한복 입은 아기가 너무 귀엽다. 이런 사진을 지갑에 간직하고 다닐 정도면 정말 소중한 거겠지.

    Jinjjane. Hanbok ibeun agiga neomu gwiyeopda. Ireon sajineul jigabe ganjikago danil jeongdomyeon jeongmal sojunghan geogetji.

    You're right. The baby in the hanbok is so cute. If they keep a photo like this in their wallet, it must mean a lot to them.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 돈은 다시 벌면 되지만 이 사진은 다시 못 찍잖아. 주인은 아마 돈보다 사진 때문에 더 속상할 거야.

    Doneun dasi beolmyeon doejiman i sajineun dasi mot jjikjana. Juineun ama donboda sajin ttaemune deo soksanghal geoya.

    Money can be earned again, but this photo can't be taken again. The owner is probably more upset about the photo than the money.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 알았어, 양심에 찔려서 안 되겠다. 근데 이걸 어디에 갖다줘야 돼? 그냥 파출소 가면 되나?

    Arasseo, yangsime jjillyeoseo an doegetda. Geunde igeol eodie gatdajwoya dwae? Geunyang pachulso gamyeon doena?

    Okay, okay, my conscience won't let me. But where do I take it? Can I just go to a police box?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 응, 가까운 파출소나 경찰서에 맡기면 돼. 경찰이 유실물 사이트에 올려 줘서 주인이 거기서 찾을 수 있대.

    Eung, gakkaun pachulsona gyeongchalseoe matgimyeon dwae. Gyeongchari yusilmul saiteue ollyeo jwoseo juini geogiseo chajeul su itdae.

    Yeah, you can hand it in at the nearest police box or station. They post it on the lost-property website so the owner can find it there.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그런데 주인이 끝까지 안 나타나면 그 돈은 어떻게 돼?

    Geureonde juini kkeutkkaji an natanamyeon geu doneun eotteoke dwae?

    But if the owner never turns up, what happens to the money?

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 여섯 달 동안 주인이 안 나타나면 주운 사람이 가질 수 있대. 그리고 주인을 찾으면 보상금을 받을 수도 있고.

    Yeoseot dal dongan juini an natanamyeon juun sarami gajil su itdae. Geurigo juineul chajeumyeon bosanggeumeul badeul sudo itgo.

    If nobody claims it for six months, the finder can keep it. And if they find the owner, you might get a reward too.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 뭐야, 그럼 돌려주는 게 제일 이득이잖아. 진작 말해 주지.

    Mwoya, geureom dollyeojuneun ge jeil ideugijana. Jinjak malhae juji.

    What? So handing it in is the best deal anyway. You could have told me sooner.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 너 지금 보상금 때문에 가는 거 아니지? 표정이 수상한데.

    Neo jigeum bosanggeum ttaemune ganeun geo aniji? Pyojeongi susanghande.

    You're not going because of the reward, are you? That look on your face is suspicious.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 아니거든! 이 아기 사진 보니까 마음이 바뀐 거야. 이 지갑 주인은 내가 꼭 찾아 줄 테다.

    Anigeodeun! I agi sajin bonikka maeumi bakkwin geoya. I jigap juineun naega kkok chaja jul teda.

    No way! Seeing this baby's photo changed my mind. I'm going to get this wallet back to its owner, no matter what.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 좋아, 그럼 지금 바로 가자. 정류장 건너편에 파출소 있잖아.

    Joa, geureom jigeum baro gaja. Jeongnyujang geonneopyeone pachulso itjana.

    Good, then let's go right now. There's a police box across from the bus stop.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 가서 경찰관 앞에서 돈도 같이 세어 보자. 그래야 나도 떳떳하지.

    Gaseo gyeongchalgwan apeseo dondo gachi seeo boja. Geuraeya nado tteottteotaji.

    When we get there, let's count the money in front of the officer too. That way I've got nothing to hide.
