translated by Alexander Gross	translated by Bertilo Wennergren		translated by Max Knight	translated by Hans Eiseneck

A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	Jen lupfantom’ de famili’	Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich	One night, a banshee slunk away	Un hechicero, con esposa
Left wife and brood one night and came	meznokte iam kuris for	von Weib und Kind und sich begab	from mate and child, and in the gloom	vino un día a la fosa
To a hidden graveyard to enlist	al tombo de la profesor’.	an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab	went to a village teacher’s tomb,	de su maestro, y al profesor
The aid of a long-dead philologist.	kaj petis pri konjugaci’.	und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!”

“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	Do diktis tiu dokta ul’	Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf	The village teacher climbed up straight	El profesor sin vacilar
He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	starante sur la kructabul’	auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf	upon his grave stone with its plate	subió y comenzó a hablar.
The seer arose a bit unsteady	dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto	und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten	and to the apparition said	Desde allá de su letrero
Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto.	geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:	who meekly knelt before the dead:	se dirigió al hechicero:

“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,	„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	“El hechiuno” le explica,
While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,	„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,	the banHERS, the possessive case.	“el hechidos” después indica,
There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,	dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,	The banHER, next, is what they call	“el hechitres” dice al fin,
And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.	den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“	objective case--and that is all.”	“con eso basta ¡chiquitín!”

“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe	Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle	The banshee marveled at the cases	El hechicero, conmovido
The future form and participle	al la fantomo, kaj rezulte	er rollte seine Augenbälle.	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	por lo que capta su oído,
Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o	„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch	but said: “You did not add, so far,	al maestro ruega, encantado,
The scholar paused--again he tried:	pri participoj en pasivo.”	zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“	the plural to the singular!”	que le adjunte un quebrado.

“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:	Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste	The teacher, though, admitted then	Pero el profesor confiesa
‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	“Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen,	gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.	that this was not within his ken.	que nada sabe con certeza:
Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas	Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	“Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros
I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.”	doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.	“A she cannot be plurized.”	únicamente hay enteros.”

The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Sed lupfantomo pri transiro	Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –	The banshee, rising clammily,	El brujo se volvió muy triste:
At home, and homewards now he crept,	ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro.	er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!	wailed: “What about my family?”	“Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?”
Happy, humble, without apology	La lup’ revenis larmokula	Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,	Then, being not a learned creature,	Ya que no era sabio
For such folly of philology.	al sia famili’ ulula.	so schied er dankend und ergeben.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	con gratitud se despidió.
