   Appa, Jiuga nae geurim bogo isanghadae. Haneureul wae borasaegeuro chilhaennyago.

   Dad, Jiwoo said my drawing looks weird. She asked why I coloured the sky purple.

   A 그래서 기분이 상했구나. 그 그림 아빠도 좀 볼 수 있어?

   Yeogi. Hae jil ttae haneuri jinjja ireon saegieosseo. Hakgyo kkeunnago naega jikjeop bwasseo.

    A 바로 그거야. 똑같은 물이지만 보기에 따라 다르게 보이는 거야.

    Baro geugeoya. Ttokgateun murijiman bogie ttara dareuge boineun geoya.

    That's it exactly. It's the same water, but it looks different depending on how you see it.

    Geureom nae geurimdo geurae?

13. 13

    A 그렇지. 지우는 새파란 낮 하늘만 생각했으니까 이상해 보였을 거고, 아빠는 노을을 떠올리니까 멋있어 보이는 거지.

    Geureochi. Jiuneun saeparan nat haneulman saenggakaesseunikka isanghae boyeosseul geogo, appaneun noeureul tteoollinikka meosisseo boineun geoji.

    That's right. Jiwoo was only thinking of a bright blue daytime sky, so it looked strange to her, but I thought of a sunset, so it looks great to me.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그럼 지우가 틀린 거야, 내가 틀린 거야?

    Geureom Jiuga teullin geoya, naega teullin geoya?

    So who's wrong, Jiwoo or me?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 둘 다 안 틀렸어. 생각하기에 따라 이상할 수도 있고, 멋있을 수도 있는 거야.

    Dul da an teullyeosseo. Saenggakagie ttara isanghal sudo itgo, meosisseul sudo inneun geoya.

    Neither of you. Depending on how you think about it, it can look strange or it can look wonderful.

    B 그럼 내일 지우한테 뭐라고 하지? 아직 좀 서먹한데.

    Geureom naeil Jiuhante mworago haji? Ajik jom seomeokande.

    So what should I say to Jiwoo tomorrow? Things are still a bit awkward.

    Line 16

18. 18

    B 이건 노을 지는 하늘이라고 말해 줄 거야. 너도 저녁에 하늘 한번 올려다보라고. 그리고 지우 그림도 보여 달라고 해야지.

    Igeon noeul jineun haneurirago malhae jul geoya. Neodo jeonyeoge haneul hanbeon ollyeodaborago. Geurigo Jiu geurimdo boyeo dallago haeyaji.

    I'll tell her it's the sky at sunset, and that she should look up at the sky some evening too. And I'll ask her to show me her drawings.
