Creature Languages, 02/09, Period 3

"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."

It's Raining, It's Pouring (http://www.zelo.com/family/nursery/raining.asp), in Dragon

//It rains. It rains a lot.
The aged man snores
He struck his skull
And he slept
And on morning he could not stand.

Rain, rain, leave;
Come again next day
Small// Johnny //likes playing.//

She'd quickly given up on trying to make it rhyme, but she thinks it sort-of works for Common Dragon.
