Schleicher's Fable by ~benjaburns:iconbenjaburns:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > General Fiction


Á ni hlíði, en fær án einugs ulls sá hrosar, einn að drag enn høfug vagun, einn að ber enn mikil hlœð, og einn að ber fljótlig enn mann.  Færn sagi hrosnum: “Mín hjart er meind að sjá enn mann að ak hrosar.”  Hrosirnar saga: “Hlust, fær, várr hjartar ere meind hvénar vér sjám þessi: enn mann, meistrin, gøri færsins ull ni varmi klæði sjálfi, og færn hafi neinn ull.”  Að haf heyrd þessi, færn ranni af í grundin.

On a hill, a sheep that had no wool saw horses, one of them pulling a heavy wagon, one carrying a big load, and one carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: “My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses”. The horses said: “Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool”. Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.

Author's Comments

I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I'd post this. It's Schleicher's Fable (look it up on wiki if you don't know) translated into my current conlang, Fálind. I've also included x-sampa for those who want to know how it's pronounced, as well as to show how the language has diverged from Old Norse.

Cool language, I can understand parts of it without reading the translation. ^^
