| One night, a banshee slunk away | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | ||
| from mate and child, and in the gloom | Left wife and brood one night and came | meznokte iam kuris for | ||
| went to a village teacher’s tomb, | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | al tombo de la profesor’. | ||
| requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | ||
| The village teacher climbed up straight | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | ||
| upon his grave stone with its plate | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | starante sur la kructabul’ | ||
| and to the apparition said | The seer arose a bit unsteady | dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | ||
| who meekly knelt before the dead: | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | ||
| “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | ||
| the banHERS, the possessive case. | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | ||
| The banHER, next, is what they call | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | ||
| objective case--and that is all.” | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | ||
| The banshee marveled at the cases | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | ||
| and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | The future form and participle | al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | ||
| but said: “You did not add, so far, | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | ||
| the plural to the singular!” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | pri participoj en pasivo.” | ||
| The teacher, though, admitted then | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | ||
| that this was not within his ken. | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | ||
| “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas | ||
| “A she cannot be plurized.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | ||
| The banshee, rising clammily, | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | ||
| wailed: “What about my family?” | At home, and homewards now he crept, | ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | ||
| Then, being not a learned creature, | Happy, humble, without apology | La lup’ revenis larmokula | ||
| said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | For such folly of philology. | al sia famili’ ulula. | ||
