The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch/Art.Michael Marchenko/Annick Press(1980)
슈렉이후로 재밌게 읽은 영어동화책입니다. 기존의 왕자와 공주의 이야기 틀에서 약간 벗어나 있는 이야기지요.
보통은 위험에 처한 공주를 용감한 왕자가 백마타고 와서 구한다는 내용인데... 이 책은 용에게 납치된 왕자를
찾으러가서 지혜와 기지로 구하는 이야기입니다. 그리고 결말도 아주 드라마틱하지요.
원문으로 함 보실까요...
Elizabeth was a beautiful princess. She lived in a castle and had expensive princess clothes. She was going to marry a prince named Ronald.
Unfortunately, a dragon smashed her castle, burned all her clothes with his fiery breath, and carried off Prince Ronald.
Elizabeth decided to chase the dragon and get Ronald back. She looked everywhere for something to wear, but the only thing she could find that was not burnt was a paper bag. So she put on the paper bag and followed the dragon. He was easy to follow, because he left a trail of burnt forests and horses' bones.
Finally, Elizabeth came to a cave with a large door that had a huge knocker on it. She took hold of the knocker and banged on the door. The dragon stuck his nose out of the door and said, "Well, a princess! I love to eat princesses, but I have already eaten a whole castle today. I am a very busy dragon. Come back tomorrow." He slammed the door so fast that Elizabeth almost go her nose cught.
to be continued....
