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

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

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

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

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

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

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