ReplyDeleteby The Brothers Grimm
Translation by Mr. Bomb
“The Rat-hunter from Hameln”
Before long time spread in the town Hameln a gross Rat- and mouse plague. Everything, what the animals came in the way, was bitten on and eaten.
Then the citizens of Hameln were and in front of everyone the mayor really glad, as one day a man in the city came, who promised, Hameln from the disease to release. The man carried the name Bundting, because he so colored clothes wore, which everybody fast in the eye saw. Of course wanted the man his work not nothing do, but fast had them been for a money agreed. That should Bundting get, when all mouse and rats out of the city removed been.
And so done it too. Hardly was the contract between the mayor and the rat- hunter, so called himself the man, done, when pulled he out of his pocket a flute and played a beautiful melody. Hardly but has he then the first tone touched, when came fast out of every corner and angle the rats and mice walked and closed themselves the rat- hunter on.
When he then meant, all animals collect to have, as walked he with them out of the town, went to the shore the Weser, which through Hameln floats, and took of his colored clothes. Then rose he down in the river - and all rats and mice followed him and drown in the waters.
Now returned the rat-hunter back in the city, to his money pick up. But that wanted that the Bundting suddenly not more pay and so must he empty things gone.
Many weeks later but went the rat- hunter back to Hameln. This time came he in a cloak of a hunter here, so that the humans not fast recognized him. Again pulled he his flute out of the pocket and played the same beautiful melody, with that he already the rodents out Hameln tricked has. But what was that! The hunter with his flute followed this time not rats and mice, but girls and boys.
In crowds walked all kids with, that where older than four years where. The rat- hunter lead them out the town out, out to a mountain, which Poppenberg called is, where he with them forever vanished, fast somebody something from it noticed had. Only two kids, that were themselves delayed had, able the rat- hunter escape. But that one kid became after the incident blind, so that he the way not anymore show able, and the other became deaf- mute, so that it could not more from the events tell able.
Only a nanny had the exodus the girls and boys out the town watched and later all from it telling able. Moms and Dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles mourned very for their lost kids. Long time called in Hameln the street, where the kids with the rat- hunter walking was, “bungelose” street ( quite, toneless, drum loose street). And even, when a young bride at the wedding through the street went, may there never music played.

“The Rat- hunter of Hameln”
A long time ago in Hameln, was a terrible rat- and mice disease. Everything, that was in front of the animals, was bitten or even eaten by those filthy animals.
As one day, a man named Bundting came in the town and promised to take all the rats and mice out of town. Bundting became his name, because he always wore colored clothes, that everybody could easily recognize. The Bundting didn’t want to do his work without a payment, but the nice, old mayor and the hunter agreed on a the amount already after two days. The Bundting should get his payment after all the mice and rats are gone.
That is what happened. Right after the contract was created the rat- hunter took out a flute from his pocket and began to play a beautiful melody. Out of every corner came the mice and the rats running and putting themselves in line behind the rat- hunter. The rat- hunter then started to walk out of town to the river Weser. At the river he took of his clothes and began swimming. The rats and mice followed him and died in the fast and gurgled waters of the Weser.
disgusting rats are gone he walked gently back into to the town to the mayor, but the mayor and town didn’t want to pay the salary anymore and they send the poor Bundting out of town.
Bundting came back, but had a cloak around his strong body, so nobody would see and recognize him. After he was in town the Bundting took out his flute and played a different, but also beautiful melody. But what was that! This time there weren’t any rats or mice coming to him and getting in line. This time kids were coming out of every house and were getting in line behind the Bundting. After he thought that he collected all the kids, he walked out of town with the kids to a mountain and was never seen again.
Only a old and helpful nanny watched the exodus of the rat- hunter and the poor kids and told everybody in town right after he was gone. All the moms and dads and the uncles and and aunts were all mourning about the kids that were lost. After two days the town decided that nobody is going to be able to play music in that street, even on a wedding day.

Pg. 1
Long ago in Korea a clever farmer family was living happily with his wife and son.
One day, the father gave the son a cow and said,
“Son, take this cow to the market and sell it for a good price.”
“Yes, father.”
The son walked to the market with the cow.
Pg. 2
Two evil sellers came up to the son to buy the cow and asked,
“Kid, how much are you willing to sell this calf for?”
The son replied, “ This is a cow not a calf.”
And the one of the evil seller’s friends came and helped his friend out to trick the boy.
The evil seller’s friend said, “In my eye this looks like a calf.”
The Sellers lied to get the cow at a cheap price.
“We will give you more than enough for this calf, sell it to us.”
The Farmer's son was confused. He fell for the trick, so he sold the cow for the price of a calf.
Pg.3
“So, did you sell the cow?”
the father asked while the son entered the house.
The son said, “ People said it wasn't a cow and said that it was a calf, father.”
Than the father knew that he had been tricked. He asked his son whom he sold the cow to.
The father wanted to trick the sellers like they had tricked his son. He thought very hard.
Pg. 4
The farmer took his donkey to the market and waited until the sellers showed up.
Then quickly the farmer hid two pearls between donkey tail and his butt.
The farmer walked front of the sellers casually. The donkey farted and the two pearls fell
to the ground.
The sellers saw this scene and approached the farmer.
Pg.5
“Where did these pearls come from?
“As you can see my donkey poops out pearls.”
“Oh really? What do you feed him?” Asked the seller
“Well, I lock him in a room and feed him potato chips all day,”
the farmer lied.
The sellers were tricked and thought that if they had this donkey, they would be rich. They bought the donkey for an expensive price.
Pg.6
The sellers did as the farmer told them.
They locked up his donkey and fed him chips all day.
Then the next day, the donkey was dead.
“What happened?” said one of the sellers angrily.
Then they knew that the farmer had tricked them.
Then they went back to the market to find the farmer.
Pg.7
The farmer knew that the sellers would come back for revenge,
so, he figured out the way to get rid of them.
The farmer made a fake grave and told his wife.
“ If the sellers come tell them that I have passed away. Than lead them to my grave.”
In few hours the sellers came to the farmer’s house and asked the wife.
“Where was this scum?”
“Boo whoo, he passed away yesterday.”
Pg.8
The sellers were still mad, and said “I need to pay him back even though he is dead.”
“Same,” said the seller’s friend.
Fortunately there was a tiny hole on top of the grave.
One of the sellers took down his pant and got ready to take a dump in the hole.
Pg.9
The farmer was prepared for when of the seller needed to take a dump.
He pulled out his hot metal stick and shoved the seller’s butt with it.
The seller said “Oww.” to him self because he didn't want his friend to hear his scream.
His friend asked how was it nice? And the seller said it was wonderful you should try it too.
Pg.10
So the seller’s friend tried it too.
Again the farmer pulled out his hot metal stick
and stabbed his butt. “OWWWW!”
Pg. 11
Then the seller felt bad for his friend and told him that he got stabbed too.
Than they said, “ The farmer is horrible, he bothers us even though his is dead.
They went back to their house.
While the farmer’s family lived happily.

There was a girl named Sayaka in First grade 1st class. One day, during 3rd period, she started to hiccup. Sayaka blushed her face and tried to stop but could not.
hiccup...
It won’t stop. The boy sitting next to Sayaka named Yukio. He always make fun of her and bully her. When Sayaka hiccup, he laughed and stared at her. Then some how, he started to hiccup as well. The hiccup transported one to other people. It dose not go like that all the time, but this special hiccup does transfer from people to people. Teacher saw Sayaka and Yukio not constraining and warned them.
“There, stop that hiccup, listen to hiccup, me” what? Now it’s transferred to teacher. He tried to stop it but he could not.
“hiccup....”
Every student laughed. But then they started to hiccup as well.
“hiccup...”
Now it is impossible to study. Everywhere in the class is surrounded by hiccups. It was so loud that teacher in next class came to see what was going on and caught the hiccup again. That went around for every class in the 1 st grade. Then the principal of this school came to first grade class with his triangle eyes. when he was going to warn them, he caught o the hiccup as well. This is emergency, the principal went back to his office and announced about infected hiccup starting from 1st grade class. He made an announcement.
“This is a warning, hiccup, from first grade classes, infected, hiccup, d hiccup is started. Please be careful.”
This announcement was the mistake. Every one who heard the announcement, which is every student, started to hiccup. Unluckily there was mother who was working for PTA she also heard the hiccup and soon started to hiccup. She runs back to her house. Along the way, many people have heard her hiccup. Then in less than an hour, everyone in the town started to hiccup. Some people called ambulance but that ambulance was running with noise including hiccup. Other people told the radio announcer. Radio announcer was surprised about it and as soon as they got the information, then they spread it on T.V. and NHK. This was the other problem they made. All the people who lived in Japan started to hiccup. You would hear hiccup all around. But in Japan, not only Japanese people work. Some people work with other Nations. This hiccup spread to China, United States, France, and Italian. Every one on the world is now hiccupping.
It has been said that hiccup will stop if you are surprised. People try to do so, but they can’t. Reason is obvious when people go behind someone to scare them, they hiccup that will only make them laugh.
There are always special things happen. It was really special what timing. Every one’s hiccup got together. That caused Earth quake.
“EARTH QUAKE ~~~~”
every one was scary and that infected hiccup was gone some of them hugged each other, and made a new friendship. Just like Sayaka and Yukio

Yesterday, a new coach for gymnastics came.
He said: “ My name is Hector Duval.What about yours?
Fabrice said: “ No.Ours is different.”
And we all laughed.
Me and all of my friends were near the sea,Belz,Forokatuo,Mamer, who is crazy! Yierne, Fabrice and Koum. In gymnastic class, some other kids were there too, but they came from the Beach Hotel and we didn’t like the kids from Beautiful Side Hotel.
When our laughs were over, the coach bended his biceps and two big balloons popped up!
Coach asked: “ Would you like to have biceps like mine? ”
Yierne said: “ Oh! “
Farakatou said: “ Well, I don’t. “
Koum wanted to have two big balloons on his biceps to show it to the kids in his school. Koum makes me mad. He always wants to show off himself with his “talents”.He is such a spoiled goody too-shooes.
Coach said: “ If you kids listen well and come to gym class clean, when the break is over, you’ll have biceps like mine. “
Then Coach made us in a line and Koum said to me: “ I bet that you can’t somersault like me! “
And I somersaulted. I laughed, because I’m a professional, and that showed him! I’m was his match!
Fabrice said: “ I can do that too! “
But he didn’t. Forokatuo was the best of all of us, I mean he was way better than Belz.All of us were somersaulting, until we heard the whistle of the coach.
He cried: “ Don’t you want to finish your clown business? I wanted you guys to stand in a line. You have the rest of the day to act like your in a circus! “
We made a line before things got way out of hand.
Coach said he wanted to show us what we need to do to get muscles like him.He took his arms in the air, then down, and again up. And right that moment one of the kids from Sea Hotel took a stern look at our hotel and told us : “ Wow.your hotel is ugly. “
Yierne said: “ Is not! your hotel is ugly! “
One of the kids from Beach Hotel also said: “ In our hotel, they give us chocolate ice-cream every night! “
Then one of the kids from Sea Hotel nervously answered: “ In our hotel, they give us ice-cream in the afternoons too, they also gave us peanut butter and jelly on Thursday! “
Koum said: “ My dad always wants more food and the owner of the hotel gives him what ever he wants! “
One of the kids from the other team said: “ You’re lying! I don’t believe you! “
The coach wasn’t showing off his biceps any more and was standing with his arms crossed and then yelled: “ Are you all finished? “
He flared his nose, but I don’t think that your muscles get stronger with moving you nosetrils.
The coach got mad and told us that we’ll exercise for our biceps later and we have to warm up first.What a cool teacher!
He said: “ Now we have to run.Make a line.When I whistle , you’ll start running.Any one who gets to the parasol, wins.Ready? “
And he whistled.
The only person who started running was Mamer.
Because we were looking at the oyster that Fabrice found at the beach and Koum was explaining that yesterday he found an oyster bigger than Fabrices’s and he wanted to give it to his dad so he could make an ashtray from it.He is a dork too.Coach threw his whistle on the sand and stumped on it.The last time I ever saw any body that mad was when Anian found out that he got second place in a math test.
Coach yelled: “ Well do you wanna listen to me or not? “
Fabrice said: “ What do you think? we came to participate in your class,sir.Nobody made us! “
Coach closed his eyes and made a fist and flared his nose.After a while, he started talking slowly and calmly.He said: “Ok, we’ll start again.Every body ready? “

“ How can you kick out the lion even the big animal can’t? ”
Animal object about it, but they give him a chance to do it.
On the other side, lion was angry, because no one is bring the food at his meal time. Just now, the smartest rabbit was coming, but he was crying.

“ What, where is he? How could he steel my food? ”
Rabbit make him more angry.
“ Mr. Lion, he told me that if there is more stronger than me bring and i will take him down ”
“ Oh, really? I will slap him, so he can not come here again. Show me the where he is ”
Rabbit bring him to the well.
“ Where is he? ”
“ He is right in this well ”
The lion see in to the well, then he can really see the lion staring at him. The lion did not notice that it was him shining in the water.
“ Hey you, i an going to take you down ”
Then he jumped in to the deep well and died.
The animal was happy that they heard the lion was dead. So the forest went back to normal with a peace.
