"The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen..."
"중요한 건 눈에 보이지 않아......"
"Yes, I know..."
"물론이지......"
"It is just as it is with the flower. If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers..."
"꽃도 마찬가지야. 어느 별에 사는 꽃 한 송이를 사랑한다면 밤에 하늘을 바라보는 게 감미로울 거야. 별들마다 모두 꽃이 될 테니까."
"Yes, I know..."
"물론이지......"
"It is just as it is with the water. Because of the pulley, and the rope, what you gave me to drink was like music. You remember-- how good it was."
"물도 마찬가지야. 아저씨가 내게 마시라고 준 물은 음악 같은 것이었어. 도르래와 밧줄 때문에...... 기억하지...... 물 맛이 참 좋았지."
"Yes, I know..."
"그래......"
"And at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found.
"밤이면 별들을 바라봐. 내 별은 너무 작아서 어디 있는지 지금 가리켜 줄 수가 없어.
It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens... they will all be your friends. And, besides, I am going to make you a present..."
그 편이 더 좋아. 내 별은 아저씨에 게는 여러 별들 중의 하나가 되는 거지. 그럼 아저씬 어느 별이든지 바라보는게 즐겁게 될 테니까...... 그 별들은 모두 아저씨 친구가 될 거야.
