Gliste
The Worms
Došle male glistekod šustera Risteda cipele naruče –je li je moguće?
Little worms came crawlingto cobbler Risto, calling,to order shoes: dear me,how can such a thing be?
Majstor veli njima:„Sada kad je zima,za hod oko kućeuzmite papuče.Za noge velikeuzmite patike,kada snijeg zavijeza napolje nije.
The master says: "Come near,now that winter's here,for pottering indoorstake slippers for the floors.For feet of bigger sizetake trainers; that is wise.But when the snowstorms blow,outside they cannot go.
A kad zima minei kad sunce sine,kad nestanu rose –mogu noge bose!“
And once the winter's pastand sunshine comes at last,when dew has dried away,bare feet can go and play!"
Translator's note. The joke, of course, is that worms have no feet.
