Then a deceitful deer decided that he would speak to her. He said: “Your beauty is like a dance. Your eyes are like two small moons. I want you to be my wife.” She heard this and laughed: “Are my eyes really like two small moons? Do you want me to be your wife? Yes indeed! You surely can't say just three words of my name. If you can, then I will say that to you.” The deer said: “I can surely say three words of your name.” She said: “I don't hear you.” The deer said: “If we are to be husband and wife, then I'll speak indeed. What will you answer?” She said: “I answer thus.” Then she cut open the deer's belly with a knife. She cut quickly, then his body fell into the river water. The deer (who was still able to say this) said: “Do you like this situation?”

Smooth English of gjâ-zym-byn The Story of the Deer A beautiful woman was going along a road above and beyond a river. Then a deceitful deer decided to speak to her. He said: “Listen! You are beautiful like a dance. Your eyes are like two small moons. I choose you as a wife.” She heard this and laughed: “Are my eyes like two small moons? Would you choose me as your wife? Yes indeed! You can't say just three words that are part of my name. If you can, then I'll decide to speak to you / to say X to you / say that (i.e. “yes”) to you.” The deer said: “I / I'll say three words that are part of your name.” She said: “I don't hear you.” The deer said: “If we are to be spouses, then I / I'll speak indeed. How will you answer?” She said: “I / I'll answer thus.” Then she completely cut the deer's belly with a knife. She cut quickly, then his body fell into the river water. The deer (still being able to speak) said: “Does this situation make you happy?”
