박영자는 며칠째 딸의 동네를 아침마다 산책하고 있었습니다.
처음에는 낯설었던 길도 이제는 제법 익숙해졌죠. 하지만 오늘은 뭔가 다른 기분이었습니다.
사실 며칠 동안 딸이 계속 이렇게 말했거든요.
영자는 고개는 끄덕였지만 속으로는 '말이 쉽지…' 라고 생각했습니다. 그래도 오늘은 결심을 했습니다.
"오늘은 반드시, 미국식 인사를 한번 해보겠어!"
산책로를 따라 걷다가 저 앞에서 복슬복슬한 작은 강아지를 데리고 걷는 할머니를 보았습니다. 할머니는 친절한 미소를 짓고 있었습니다.
"앗… 지금이야. 인사할 수 있을 것 같아." 영자는 마음속으로 딸이 가르쳐준 표현을 되새겼습니다. "나이스 투 미츠 유… 나이스 투 미츠 유…"
할머니가 점점 가까워지자 영자는 심장이 쿵쾅거렸습니다. 하지만 지금 물러설 순 없었죠. 할머니는 먼저 환하게 웃으며 말을 건넸습니다.
영자는 깊게 심호흡을 하고, 용기를 내어 말했습니다.
(너무 큰 목소리로 말해서 자기도 깜짝 놀랐습니다!) 할머니는 웃음을 터뜨리며 따뜻하게 대답했습니다.
영자도 수줍게 자기 이름을 말했고, 두 사람은 잠시 서서 날씨 얘기를 나누었어요. 할머니의 강아지도 꼬리를 살랑살랑 흔들며 반겨주었죠.
집으로 돌아오는 길, 영자는 계속 미소가 떠올랐습니다. 단 한 문장으로 새 친구가 생긴 거였어요.
"Nice to meet you…" 그녀는 속으로 되뇌었습니다. "겨우 네 단어인데, 이렇게 사람 마음을 열어주다니!" 🌸
Young-ja takes a morning walk.
She walks in her neighborhood.
She wants to say hi to a neighbor.
She is a little nervous.
She sees a woman with a small dog.
The woman smiles. "Good morning!" she says.
Young-ja takes a deep breath.
"Nice to meet you!" she says.
"Nice to meet you too! I'm Martha," the woman says.
Young-ja is very happy.
Young-ja walks in her daughter's neighborhood every morning.
Her daughter always says, "Mom, just say hi to your neighbors!"
Today, Young-ja wants to try.
She feels nervous because her English is not great.
She sees an American woman walking a small dog.
The woman has a friendly smile. "Good morning," she says.
Young-ja takes a deep breath.
"Nice to meet you!" she says, maybe a little too loudly.
The woman laughs kindly. "Nice to meet you too! I'm Martha."
They chat for a minute about the weather.
Young-ja walks home feeling proud and happy.
Young-ja has been taking morning walks around her daughter's neighborhood all week.
She often passes friendly Americans who wave or nod, but she has never actually spoken to them.
Her daughter keeps teasing her: "Mom, it's just a simple 'Hi' — you can do it!"
Today, Young-ja decides to be brave.
As she walks down the quiet street, she spots an elderly woman with a fluffy little dog.
Young-ja silently rehearses the phrase one more time.
The woman approaches with a warm, welcoming smile. "Good morning!"
Young-ja's heart races, but she manages to smile back.
"Nice to meet you!" she says, perhaps a little too loudly.
The woman chuckles kindly. "Nice to meet you too! I'm Martha."
Young-ja shyly introduces herself, and they chat briefly about the beautiful weather.
Walking home, Young-ja can't stop smiling.
That one small phrase opened the door to a new friendship.
From today on, her morning walks feel warmer and more welcoming.
