Schleicher's fable

Danetiska:

Ovis, jasmai launa ne est, vidt esjvons: oinom dukontym brum vodjom, aliom berontym mysjlom onos, i tritom berontym virom bire djystre.

A sheep, who had no wool, saw some horses: one pulling a heavy wagon, another carrying a big load, and a third carrying a man quickly.

Ovis vepst esjvomos: «Moiom sjerd me peieti, vidnuntym virom dukontym esjvons».

The sheep said to the horses, “My heart pains me, seeing a a man driving horses.”

Esjvoi upsent: «Sjlu, ovi, nosja sjerda nos peionti, vidnuntyns sjod: Viros, potis, dekti launam ovies en brymam vestim pro sve. Ide oviei ne esti launa».

The horses said, “Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us, seeing this: A man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool.”

Sjod sjesjlukvos, ovis bugostet en asjdrom.

Having heard this, the sheep fled into the field.
