	translated by Alexander Gross	translated by Max Knight	translated by R. Platteau

Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	One night, a banshee slunk away	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,
von Weib und Kind und sich begab	Left wife and brood one night and came	from mate and child, and in the gloom	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab	To a hidden graveyard to enlist	went to a village teacher’s tomb,	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école
und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“	The aid of a long-dead philologist.	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”

Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	The village teacher climbed up straight	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	upon his grave stone with its plate	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten	The seer arose a bit unsteady	and to the apparition said	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	who meekly knelt before the dead:	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”

„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	the banHERS, the possessive case.	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	The banHER, next, is what they call	Loup-garoù ? mais avant
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	objective case--and that is all.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?

Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	The banshee marveled at the cases	Loup-garcomment ? et puis
er rollte seine Augenbälle.	The future form and participle	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”
„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	but said: “You did not add, so far,	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“	The scholar paused--again he tried:	the plural to the singular!”	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.

Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	The teacher, though, admitted then	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,
gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	that this was not within his ken.	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”
Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.
doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	“A she cannot be plurized.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié

Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	The banshee, rising clammily,	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!	At home, and homewards now he crept,	wailed: “What about my family?”	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”
Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,	Happy, humble, without apology	Then, being not a learned creature,	Mais comme le loup était bien poli
so schied er dankend und ergeben.	For such folly of philology.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	Il remercia et puis repartit.
