Story of two dogs

Post by Plusquamperfekt »

English:

There is a story they tell of two dogs… Both at separate times walk into the same room. One comes out wagging his tail while the other comes out growling. A woman watching this goes into the room to see what could possibly make one dog so happy and the other so mad. To her surprise she finds a room filled with mirrors. The happy dog found a thousand happy dogs looking back at him while the angry dog found a thousand dogs growling back at him. What you see in the world around you is a reflection of who you are.

Miwonša:

Kwasjan žatonska pra hanzi pjaši. Pjašnjaši maškjat minjul wa šanca mihwaš. Aniniran učit faicanši ša paikiš, nak sinhwiran hačnjanši. Škonjawa žanifjat ya maškjat ša šancaš zužanti, rukak hanza aninai kwiwan ti luzi, nak sinhwai ti žwahini. Onžiski wanšit šanca thanšai žuk sapja. Hanza luza wayanšit šancai žuk tinhwi hanzi luzi ya koišanši, nak hanza sinwha lhoro tinhwi hanzi wayoš hačnjanši. Sja, čwasta žanišan wa kwosjai, lhoro sapjaska minjak šaya.

N'istuoia se raconta de dos cans. A guecis desepadis els dos entran denz le maresme piecz. L'un sali 'n cogzant le cord, allor ca l'altre sali 'n grognant. Na fegna qui encata cuelli entra denz le piecz por descobrir celqui podrèu rènd uni cani sî felicz e li altri sî erragzad. All sie grand sorprés, truova ne piecz pien de piegls. Lo can felicz trovuo ne millén de cans felicz qui so rencatavan, allor ca lo can erragzad trovuo ne millén de cans qui lu grognavan. Cuelca tu ves denz li mond qui te cerconta ès no refièx de quì tu siez.
