translated by Hans Eiseneck       translated by Max Knight   translated by Alexander Gross
 
Un hechicero, con esposa   Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich   One night, a banshee slunk away   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,
vino un día a la fosa   von Weib und Kind und sich begab   from mate and child, and in the gloom   Left wife and brood one night and came
de su maestro, y al profesor   an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab   went to a village teacher’s tomb,   To a hidden graveyard to enlist
pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!”   und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”   The aid of a long-dead philologist.
 
El profesor sin vacilar   Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf   The village teacher climbed up straight   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”
subió y comenzó a hablar.   auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf   upon his grave stone with its plate   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”
Desde allá de su letrero   und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten   and to the apparition said   The seer arose a bit unsteady
se dirigió al hechicero:   geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:   who meekly knelt before the dead:   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.
 
“El hechiuno” le explica,   „Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,
“el hechidos” después indica,   „des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,   the banHERS, the possessive case.   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:
“el hechitres” dice al fin,   dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,   The banHER, next, is what they call   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,
“con eso basta ¡chiquitín!”   den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“   objective case--and that is all.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”
 
El hechicero, conmovido   Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle   The banshee marveled at the cases   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--
por lo que capta su oído,   er rollte seine Augenbälle.   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,   The future form and participle
al maestro ruega, encantado,   „Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch   but said: “You did not add, so far,   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.
que le adjunte un quebrado.   zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“   the plural to the singular!”   The scholar paused--again he tried:
 
Pero el profesor confiesa   Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste   The teacher, though, admitted then   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:
que nada sabe con certeza:   gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.   that this was not within his ken.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!
“Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros   Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--
únicamente hay enteros.”   doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.   “A she cannot be plurized.”   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”
 
El brujo se volvió muy triste:   Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –   The banshee, rising clammily,   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept
“Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?”   er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!   wailed: “What about my family?”   At home, and homewards now he crept,
Ya que no era sabio   Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,   Then, being not a learned creature,   Happy, humble, without apology
con gratitud se despidió.   so schied er dankend und ergeben.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.   For such folly of philology.
