Smooth English "The Living, Speaking Stone" They say it spoke once. I was walking by the sea. When I kicked an ordinary stone, it came alive and spoke to me: "Stop! Will you stop? I don't enjoy that." I scratched my head and asked, "Did the stone just talk? Impossible!" It replied, "Yes, a stone can speak, but only if I remember how." Then I asked it, "How are you alive?" It answered, "Can you listen? I will speak to you if you agree." The stone's words were angry, so I threw it into the sea. Afterwards, it never spoke to me again. |
Explanation
Originally, Zack and Gomain followed Tenata in the relay. For reasons beyond anyone's control, he couldn't get his text to me in time, so I had to pass Lila's text straight to George Baker. Nevertheless, he had finished his translation, so I wanted to include it on the page. You might compare it to George's text to see how each participant translated Lila's Tenata text.
