Creature Languages, 02/09, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"You have now learned to speak, if haltingly, in Dragon, Rat and Spider. Those are all difficult tongues, with rich histories and their own quirks -- from the choppy vowels of Spider, to the crooning of Rat, to the rhyming of the dragons. I applaud your sincere efforts to learn.

Today, I would like for each of you to pick a so-called nursery rhyme and translate it into the Creature language of your choice. I trust that you will have no problems in finding appropriate substitutes for words that may not be on your vocabulary sheets."

Walter stares at the page and mutters to himself occasionally.

Flipping through his books, he grumbles rather a lot about the foolishness of choosing something with the words "Taffy" and "Welshman."
