 The Ugly Doll                                 <By Na Tae-joo> Cute precisely because you’re homely— A face with tiny, scrunched-up eyes. Oh my, you look like you’re about to burst into tears any moment. And yet, I love you, little one. I love you. ------------------------------------------------------- If I were to look deep into the heart of someone distressed because their desires remain unfulfilled and unresolved, surely I would find nothing but what is worthy of love! I ought to look at the people I encounter today with that same grandmotherly gaze. 못난이 인형                                         <나태주 作> 못나서 오히려 귀엽구가 작은 눈 찌푸려진 얼굴 애게게 금방이라도 울음보 떠뜨릴 것 같네 그래도 사랑한다 얘야 너를 사랑한다.
