My Little Brother

By D.J. YOON

My little brother, just turned two,

Counts numbers in his own strange way.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

But "two" is all that he will say.

No matter which number I ask him,

His answer's always quite the same.

I ask him a "one,“

I try with a "two,“

I ask him a "three,“

Yet "two" is his favorite one.

Even Grandpa can't resist,

He'll ask, "What's this number?“

But he skips over others,

Just to hear my brother say "two."

"You're so clever, it's true!“

Grandpa loves to hear him.

And I see that he adores

My little brother, who just says "two."

내 동생

-윤동재

두 돌 지난 내 동생

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

무얼 물어보아도

2라고만 대답해요.

1을 물어보아도

2를 물어보아도

3을 물어보아도

2라고만 대답해요.

할아버지는 내 동생에게

다른 숫자는

물어보지 않고

꼭 2만 물어봐요.

내 동생이 2라고 대답하면

“고놈, 참 기특하다.

벌써 숫자도 다 아는구나!”

너무너무 좋아해요.

Appreciation Review 感想

This poem explores a heartwarming theme.

I can vividly picture a grandfather and his young grandchild engaging in a charming exchange, with the child asking and answering questions about a number. What could the grandfather and his adorable grandchild have been discussing?

To the grandfather, it doesn't really matter whether his grandchild fully understands all the numbers. What counts is his confidence and high expectations for his grandchild. He finds the child's responses both delightful and endearing.

Most importantly, his love for his grandchild shines through. The grandfather is so enamored with his grandchild that he eagerly believes, "My grandchild already knows all the numbers."

It's a touching and beautiful scene.

I can't wait to become a grandfather myself and experience moments like these.

정말 재미있는 소재입니다.^^

할아버지에게 어린 손자가 정말로 숫자를 다 알고 있는지 아닌지는 그다지 중요하지 않습니다.
중요한 것은, 어린 손자에 대한 할아버지의 기대와 믿음입니다.
할아버지의 질문에 대답을 하는 손자가 그저 너무나 기특하고 대견한 것입니다.
또한, 그것은 손자에 대한 할아버지의 사랑입니다.

얼마나 사랑스럽고 보기 좋은 모습인지요 !!
아, 저도 빨리 할아버지가 되어 손주를 보고 싶습니다.
