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

Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	One night, a banshee slunk away
von Weib und Kind und sich begab	Left wife and brood one night and came	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	from mate and child, and in the gloom
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab	To a hidden graveyard to enlist	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	went to a village teacher’s tomb,
und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“	The aid of a long-dead philologist.	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”

Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	The village teacher climbed up straight
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	upon his grave stone with its plate
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten	The seer arose a bit unsteady	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	and to the apparition said
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	who meekly knelt before the dead:

„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.	the banHERS, the possessive case.
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	Loup-garoù ? mais avant	The banHER, next, is what they call
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?	objective case--and that is all.”

Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	Loup-garcomment ? et puis	The banshee marveled at the cases
er rollte seine Augenbälle.	The future form and participle	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,
„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,	but said: “You did not add, so far,
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“	The scholar paused--again he tried:	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.	the plural to the singular!”

Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,	The teacher, though, admitted then
gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”	that this was not within his ken.
Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,
doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié	“A she cannot be plurized.”

Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.	The banshee, rising clammily,
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!	At home, and homewards now he crept,	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”	wailed: “What about my family?”
Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,	Happy, humble, without apology	Mais comme le loup était bien poli	Then, being not a learned creature,
so schied er dankend und ergeben.	For such folly of philology.	Il remercia et puis repartit.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
