En varulv lopp från fru m.m.	Jen lupfantom’ de famili’	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	One night, a banshee slunk away
en vacker afton samt begav	meznokte iam kuris for	Left wife and brood one night and came	from mate and child, and in the gloom
sig till en bymagisters grav	al tombo de la profesor’.	To a hidden graveyard to enlist	went to a village teacher’s tomb,
och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.	kaj petis pri konjugaci’.	The aid of a long-dead philologist.	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”

mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp	Do diktis tiu dokta ul’	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	The village teacher climbed up straight
på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp	starante sur la kructabul’	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	upon his grave stone with its plate
med svar till den, som satt på pass	dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto	The seer arose a bit unsteady	and to the apparition said
med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.	atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto.	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	who meekly knelt before the dead:

“Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,	De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så	tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	the banHERS, the possessive case.
vi voro-ulv, I voren. På	plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	The banHER, next, is what they call
de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”	ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	objective case--and that is all.”

Varulven myste glad åt hur	Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	The banshee marveled at the cases
pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.	al la fantomo, kaj rezulte	The future form and participle	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,
“Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens	ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	but said: “You did not add, so far,
en enda pers. i tempus presens?”	pri participoj en pasivo.”	The scholar paused--again he tried:	the plural to the singular!”

Bekänna måste vår magister,	La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	The teacher, though, admitted then
att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.	“Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen,	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	that this was not within his ken.
En varulv sine imperfecto	ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,
var contradictio in adjecto.	kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.”	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	“A she cannot be plurized.”

Varulven satt med tårad lins.	Sed lupfantomo pri transiro	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	The banshee, rising clammily,
Han visste att han fanns och finns.	ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro.	At home, and homewards now he crept,	wailed: “What about my family?”
Därtill kom också fru m.m.	La lup’ revenis larmokula	Happy, humble, without apology	Then, being not a learned creature,
som även måste existera.	al sia famili’ ulula.	For such folly of philology.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
