The Farmer and the Fox
A FARMER, who bore a grudge against a Fox for robbing his poultry
yard, caught him at last, and being determined to take an ample
revenge, tied some rope well soaked in oil to his tail, and set
it on fire. The Fox by a strange fatality rushed to the fields
of the Farmer who had captured him. It was the time of the wheat
harvest; but the Farmer reaped nothing that year and returned
home grieving sorely.

Indeed it looks like a beginner's translation, and I am myself not pleased with it. I am however a beginner at Queyna and thus could think of no better.

oh, you should've seen my translations when I started! And we did not even have half of the attested vocabulary that we do these days:)
