Forgetting Your Umbrella – 우산
우산
날씨 앱이 말했어요.
“오늘은 구름 없이 맑습니다.”
오늘 아침 날씨는 맑았어요. 한나는 우산을 안 챙겼어요. 한나는 걸어서 사무실로 출근했어요. 갑자기 오후부터 구름이 끼였어요. 한나는 생각했어요.
“많이 흐리네……”
한나는 사무실을 나왔어요.
“비야 오지 마.” 그녀가 혼자 말했어요.
갑자기 비가 내리기 시작했어요. 빗방울이 굵게 떨어졌어요. 한나는 비를 피하려고 분식집으로 들어갔어요.
15분이 지나도 계속 비가 내렸어요.
“저기요, 이 우산을 쓰세요.”
“정말 감사합니다.”
한나는 우산을 쓰고 나왔어요.
다음날, 한나는 분식집 주인에게 우산을 돌려줬어요.

Forgetting Your Umbrella
Sometimes, the weather app says:
“Today will be sunny. No clouds.”
This morning, Hanna didn’t bring an umbrella. Hanna walked to work and it was sunny. While she worked, she saw clouds. She finished work in the afternoon.
“The clouds look very dark,” Hanna thought.
Hanna walked for 20minutes to go home.
“Please don’t rain,” she said quietly.
The rain started. It was very heavy. Hanna went into a kimbap snack bar to wait.
After 15 minutes, it was still raining.
“You can take my umbrella, teacher.”
“Thank you very much, sir”
Hanna walked to the shop and bought an umbrella.
The next day, she returned the shop owner’s umbrella.
