TEXT.REV: le noraixli nega'u le dembi ge'uku xici



I was a little hasty in posting the revised version of this this afternoon -
Having looked at it with andruc. jo'u le gersurfi'a (parser) I have made a
number of further changes.

I have changed the ".imu'ibo" constructions round to match current usage
(when I originally wrote this I was campaigning for redefining them for
consistency with the rest of BAI, but I have abandoned this now). However,
I am still unclear which way round they are as selbri tcita
        (eg     mi mu'i klama)
and have retained the original order, by which the above means approximately
        mi mu'ila'edi'u klama

My translation follows:



The Princess on the Pea

There was once a prince, who wanted a princess for himself, but she had
to be a real princess. So he went all round the world trying to find one,
but there was always some hindrance: there were plenty of princesses,
but whether they were *real* princesses, he could never be sure - there
was always something that wasn't quite right. So he went home and was sad,
because he so much wanted a genuine princess.

One evening there was a frightful storm. There was lightning and thunder,
the rain poured down, it was dreadful! There was a knocking on the town
gate, and the old king ordered it opened.

It was a princess standing outside. But God how she looked in the rain
and the storm! The water ran down her hair and her clothes, and went
in at the toes of her shoes and out at the heels. And she said she
was a real princess.

"We'll see about that!" thought the old queen, but she said nothing.
She went to the bedroom, took off all the bedclothes, and put a pea
on the base of the bed. Then she took twenty matresses and put them
on top of the pea, and then twenty eiderdowns on top of the mattresses.

And that's where the princess was to lie that night.

In the morning, they asked her how she had slept.

"Oh, terribly!", said the princess. "I hardly closed my eyes the whole
night! God knows what there was in the bed! I was lying on something
hard, and I'm black and blue everywhere! It's quite horrible!"

So they could see that she was a real princess, since she had felt
the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty quilts. Nobody but a
real princess could be that sensitive.

The prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a
real princess, and the pea was put into the Kunstkammer, where
it is still to be seen, if nobody has taken it away.

You see, it's a true story!


Note (from Blix & Jensen):
The Kunstkammer ("art chamber") closed in 1821 and was therefore
fresh in memory at the time of the tale. The collection was housed
in the old Royal Library, and contained many different things: old
sagas, ethnographic tales, curiosities of natural history, and so on.
