Ich hatte mich auch mal dran versucht, aber es noch nicht gepostet, weil's noch nicht fertig war...
Mehr hatte ich noch nicht. Ich hab' versucht, der Alten ein bißchen altertümlicheres Englisch angedeihen zu lassen. Ich wollte erst auch Buckys eigentümliche Rechts Schreibung übertragen, hab's mit dann aber überlegt.Some day, there was a wise man (why always a man?) ...
Some day, there was a wise woman who lived aloft a mountain as a hermit and was admired by many people.
One day it came to pass that a young girl climbed the mountain in search of enlightenment and knowledge, and on top of the top of the mountain the girl met the wise old woman.
"Tell me," the girl said, "can you show me the way to knowledge and enlightenment?"
And the old one picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and said
"Here, my child, 'tis the magic Stone of Rild. That stone, which comes from Atlantis itself and once was part of its walls. And such is its power, that it has the ability to create but also to destroy, and it shall always be helpful in everything thou dost in life."
The girl looked in disbelief and was puzzled that the old one just wanted to give her a stone of such kind of boundless power so and yet she took the stone and the old one spoke again.
"So then go out into the world and walk for three days straight, and during these three days shalt thou gain the knowledge which thou art thirsting for so much."
The girl drifted on, the stone in her luggage, and as she wandered like this, it began to rain, and she felt cold. So she took the Stone of Rild and struck three branches into the soil, covering them with leaves and twigs. And in front of her hideout, there she set up a fire which she, however, was unable to ignite. Since she took the Stone of Rild and hit it with another stone that was, of course in a lesser league of magic, and and behold! it struck sparks and the fire was blazing brightly.
The day after, the girl felt severe hunger, but except for a bush, hung with nuts which were of course not so easily opened, nothing was to be found that could have relieved her hunger. And so the girl took the stone and struck the nuts and so opened nut after nut and her hunger was relieved. Forthwith there roamed a scoundrel around forest where the girl lived, and that scoundrel wanted to assault her on her, but in her desperation she took the Stone of Rild and threw it on the scoundrel's head so that he dropped dead.
