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

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

„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,	De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,	tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så	the banHERS, the possessive case.
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,	plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	vi voro-ulv, I voren. På	The banHER, next, is what they call
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“	ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”	objective case--and that is all.”

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

Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste	La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	Bekänna måste vår magister,	The teacher, though, admitted then

Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,	ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	En varulv sine imperfecto	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,

Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –	Sed lupfantomo pri transiro	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Varulven satt med tårad lins.	The banshee, rising clammily,

Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,	La lup’ revenis larmokula	Happy, humble, without apology	Därtill kom också fru m.m.	Then, being not a learned creature,
so schied er dankend und ergeben.	al sia famili’ ulula.	For such folly of philology.	som även måste existera.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
