George 는 외딴 집에서, 엄마 아빠 할머니와 살지만, 주로 할머니랑 단 둘이서만 지내는 시간이 많군요.
그럴 때마다 무척 심심한 George 지만, 할머니도 그에 못지 않게 무료하신가봐요.
순진한 손자 놀려먹는 게 재밌으신가봐요.
반찬투정하고, 채소 안 먹는 George한테 하시는 말씀.
"Stop eating chocolate. Eat cabbage instead."
"You must eat cabbage three times a day. Mountains of cabbage!
And if it's got caterpillars in it, so much the better!"
"Caterpillars give you brains."
"Cabbage doesn't taste of anything without a few boiled caterpillars in it. Slugs, too."
"Whenever I see a live slug on a piece of lettuce, I gobble it up quick before it crawls away. Delicious."
"You don't know what's good for you."
"You get a beetle inside the stem of a stick of celery. That's what I like."
"You find all sorts of nice things in sticks of raw celery. Sometimes it's earwigs."
"A big fat earwig is very tasty."
"But you've got to be very quick, my dear, when you put one of those in your mouth. It has a pair of sharp nippers on its back end and if it grabs your tongue with those, it never let go. So you've got to bite the earwig first, chop, chop, before it bites you."
George 는 미운 8살, 한창 말 안 듣을 나이에요. 그래서 할머니께선 더욱 더 무서운 말만 골라 하시는군요.
"You're eight years old. That's old enough to know better."
"I gave up growing when I was extremely small, along with all the other nasty childish habits like laziness and disobedience and greed and sloppiness and untidiness and stupiduty."
"You haven't given up any of these things, have you?"
사악한 눈매(those bright wicked little eyes), 군살 베긴 손가락 마디(her horny finger), 쉰 목소리(her throaty voice), 희끗희끗한 머리(that grizzly old grunion of a grandma),
Geoarg 눈엔 딱 마귀할멈(a old hag, a witch)이죠.
할머니 커피도 설탕 1스푼, 밀크 몇 스푼, 딱딱 맞춰 타드리는 똑똑한 George.
화학에는 자신있을 것같은 George.
부엌 찬장(the sideboard)에 눈이 가네요.
