외솔의 이야기

작은 옥상, Second rooftop

 

작은 옥상

신창집 옥상에 올라가면 옆에 작은 옥상에 있어요.

그 옥상에 가면 옆에 두칸 자리 공간이 보여요.

이 곳에는 샘물이 솟아서 옛날에는 공동목욕탕으로 썼다고 해요.

외솔이 어렸을 때에는 그 곳에서 돼지를 잡았어요.

외솔과 여동생은 작은 옥상에 가서 

돼지 잡는 광경을

구경하곤 했어요, 덜덜덜

 

The second rooftop

There is a second rooftop.

From there you see a place you don't guess what it's for.

Here, they say, was a springwater coming from downthere.

And, they say, it was used as a public bath.

When Oessol and his sister were young,

the place, they say, was used for pig butchery.

You know, when there's something to celebreate,

one would butcher his pig. 

When the scream filled the air,

the two would run to the second rooftop,

watched it trembling all over.
