V-려고
Use -려고 after a verb stem to show purpose or intention: "to do something" or "in order to do something." It is very useful for simple plans and goals. In the story, "찾으려고" means "to look for" or "in order to find." Example: "공을 찾으려고 나무 뒤로 갔어요." — "I went behind the tree to look for the ball."
공을 찾으려고 나무 뒤로 갔어요.
I went behind the tree to look for the ball.
