"A Talking Rock"

Yesterday, I was walking at the beach.
My foot went against a rock and I fell.
A voice said, "Ouch, I'm in pain!"
I picked up that rock and said,
"Hey rock, can you talk?"
The rock said,
"Yes, I'm a rock and I talk."
I asked the rock,
"Why didn't you tell me I should watch out?"
It said, "Because I'm wicked."
Because what it'd said got me angry,
I threw it into the ocean.
I haven't seen that rock since.

Original DJP Text

"The Talking Rock"

Yesterday I was walking along the beach
when I tripped over a rock that could talk.
I picked up the talking rock and said,
"Hey! Are you a talking rock?"
The talking rock said,
"Yes, I am a talking rock."
I asked the talking rock,
"Why didn't you tell me to avoid you?"
The talking rock replied,
"Because I'm a mean talking rock."
The talking rock's words made me angry,
so I threw it into the ocean.
I never saw the talking rock again.

Enigma

See them dance!
They don't have leaders.
They use only their own voices as music
and they have not studied choreography.
Each of them goes to the place he/she seeks.
However, their dance
is the most graceful and harmonious of all dances.
Nowhere are there dancers more agile than they.
Because they rotate and sinuate,
all of them seem to have one identical mind.
It seems to be the easiest work for them.
Do dancers anywhere make greater beauty using less force?
However, they don't walk one step!

Original Text

A Riddle

See them dance.
They have no leader.
They have no music but their own voices,
nor have they studied any choreography.
Each goes where he will.
But their dance
is the most graceful, the most harmonious of all dances.
There are no dancers more lithe than they are.
They turn and weave
so that they seem to have a single mind.
This seems the least difficult work for them.
Do any dancers make greater beauty with less effort?
But they take not a single step.

The Death of Human

Littledeer isn't trustworthy.
At one time, Littledeer had a friend named Human.
But the truth was, Human bothered him.
So, the quadruped started fighting the biped named Human.
While the two were fighting, Littledeer called out
and a number of deer quickly arrived.
Then those deer made Human run away, following him.
They caught him and bit up his entire body.
They killed Human there.
