I'll go with you," Mina replied.Ko: 그들은 언덕을 향해 걸었습니다.En: They walked toward the hill.Ko: 먼 길이었지만 서로의 손을 잡고 용기를 냈습니다.En: It was a long journey, but they gathered courage by holding each other’s hands.Ko: 길 중간에서 그들은 고대의 치료사 경수 할아버지를 만났습니다.En: Along the way, they encountered Grandpa Kyungsoo, the ancient healer.Ko: "너희들, 여기서 뭐 하느냐?" 경수 할아버지가 물었습니다.En: "What are you kids doing here?" Grandpa Kyungsoo asked.Ko: "할아버지, 저희 아버지가 아픕니다. 약초를 찾아야 해요," 지호가 대답했습니다.En: "Grandpa, our father is sick. We need to find an herb," Jiho answered.Ko: 경수 할아버지는 잠시 생각하더니 말했습니다. "그 약초는 위험한 곳에 있다. 내가 길을 알려줄게. 하지만, 반드시 내 말을 들어야 해."En: After thinking for a moment, Grandpa Kyungsoo said, "The herb is in a dangerous place. I’ll show you the way, but you must follow my instructions."Ko: 지호는 처음에는 경수 할아버지를 믿지 않았지만, 시간이 없다 생각하고 고개를 끄덕였습니다.En: Although Jiho initially didn’t trust Grandpa Kyungsoo, he thought there wasn’t much time and nodded.Ko: 미나는 두렵지만 오빠를 믿기로 했습니다.En: Mina, though scared, decided to trust her brother.Ko: 경수 할아버지는 그들을 깊은 숲 속으로 안내했습니다.En: Grandpa Kyungsoo led them into a deep forest.Ko: 숲은 무서웠지만, 경수 할아버지가 있어서 안심이 되었습니다.En: The forest was terrifying, but the presence of Grandpa Kyungsoo reassured them.Ko: 그들은 결국 동굴 입구에 도착했습니다.En: Eventually, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.Ko: "여기가 약초가 있는 곳이다. 하지만, 들어가려면 수수께끼를 풀어야 해," 경수 할아버지가 말했습니다.En: "This is where the herb is. But to enter, you must solve a riddle," Grandpa Kyungsoo said.Ko: 동굴 입구에는 고대의 글씨로 수수께끼가 적혀 있었습니다.En: There was an ancient riddle inscribed at the cave entrance.Ko: "큰 산에서 태어나, 낮에는 흐르고, 밤에는 쉬는 것은 무엇일까요?" 지호는 깊이 생각했습니다.En: "Born in a big mountain, flowing by day, resting by night. What is it?" Jiho pondered deeply.Ko: "아, 그것은 강이야!" 미나가 소리쳤습니다. 그러자 동굴 문이 열렸습니다.En: "Ah, it's a river!" Mina exclaimed. Then the cave door opened.Ko: 그들은 안으로 들어가 희귀한 약초를 찾았습니다.En: They went inside and found the rare herb.Ko: 약초를 찾고 나서, 그들은 무사히 마을로 돌아왔습니다.En: After finding the herb, they safely returned to the village.Ko: 아버지는 약초를 받고 점점 회복되기 시작했습니다.En: Their father received the herb and began to gradually recover.Ko: "네 덕분에 아버지가 나았어," 지호가 미나에게 말했습니다.En: "Thanks to you, our father got better," Jiho said to Mina.Ko: "오빠가 있어서 나도 힘을 낼 수 있었어," 미나는 웃으며 대답했습니다.En: "I was able to stay strong because you were there," Mina replied with a smile.Ko: 지호는 이제 더 많은 사람들을 믿게 되었고, 미나는 스스로에 대한 믿음을 얻었습니다.En: Now, Jiho had more faith in others, and Mina gained confidence in herself.Ko: 그들은 함께 했던 이 여정을 통해 더욱 강해졌습니다.En: They grew stronger through this journey together.Ko: 마을 사람들은 그들에게 존경과 감사를 표했습니다.En: The...
