Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich   Jen lupfantom’ de famili’   One night, a banshee slunk away   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,
von Weib und Kind und sich begab   meznokte iam kuris for   from mate and child, and in the gloom   Left wife and brood one night and came
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab   al tombo de la profesor’.   went to a village teacher’s tomb,   To a hidden graveyard to enlist
und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“   kaj petis pri konjugaci’.   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”   The aid of a long-dead philologist.
 
Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf   Do diktis tiu dokta ul’   The village teacher climbed up straight   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf   starante sur la kructabul’   upon his grave stone with its plate   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten   dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto   and to the apparition said   The seer arose a bit unsteady
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:   atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto.   who meekly knelt before the dead:   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.
 
„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,   De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,   tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,   the banHERS, the possessive case.   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,   plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,   The banHER, next, is what they call   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“   ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.   objective case--and that is all.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”
 
Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle   Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe   The banshee marveled at the cases   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--
er rollte seine Augenbälle.   al la fantomo, kaj rezulte   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,   The future form and participle
„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch   ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o   but said: “You did not add, so far,   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“   pri participoj en pasivo.”   the plural to the singular!”   The scholar paused--again he tried:
 
Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste   La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:   The teacher, though, admitted then   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:
gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.   “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen,   that this was not within his ken.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!
Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,   ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--
doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.   kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.”   “A she cannot be plurized.”   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”
 
Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –   Sed lupfantomo pri transiro   The banshee, rising clammily,   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!   ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro.   wailed: “What about my family?”   At home, and homewards now he crept,
Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,   La lup’ revenis larmokula   Then, being not a learned creature,   Happy, humble, without apology
so schied er dankend und ergeben.   al sia famili’ ulula.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.   For such folly of philology.
