translated by Max Knight	translated by Bertilo Wennergren	translated by Alexander Gross	translated by R. Platteau

One night, a banshee slunk away	Jen lupfantom’ de famili’	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,
from mate and child, and in the gloom	meznokte iam kuris for	Left wife and brood one night and came	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit
went to a village teacher’s tomb,	al tombo de la profesor’.	To a hidden graveyard to enlist	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école
requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	kaj petis pri konjugaci’.	The aid of a long-dead philologist.	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”

The village teacher climbed up straight	Do diktis tiu dokta ul’	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,
upon his grave stone with its plate	starante sur la kructabul’	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit
and to the apparition said	dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto	The seer arose a bit unsteady	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école
who meekly knelt before the dead:	atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto.	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”

“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes
the banHERS, the possessive case.	tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.
The banHER, next, is what they call	plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	Loup-garoù ? mais avant
objective case--and that is all.”	ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?

The banshee marveled at the cases	Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	Loup-garcomment ? et puis
and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	al la fantomo, kaj rezulte	The future form and participle	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”
but said: “You did not add, so far,	ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,
the plural to the singular!”	pri participoj en pasivo.”	The scholar paused--again he tried:	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.

The teacher, though, admitted then	La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,
that this was not within his ken.	“Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen,	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”
“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.
“A she cannot be plurized.”	kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.”	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié

The banshee, rising clammily,	Sed lupfantomo pri transiro	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.
wailed: “What about my family?”	ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro.	At home, and homewards now he crept,	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”
Then, being not a learned creature,	La lup’ revenis larmokula	Happy, humble, without apology	Mais comme le loup était bien poli
said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	al sia famili’ ulula.	For such folly of philology.	Il remercia et puis repartit.
