Originally subtitled by Eus in Jan 2013. Retranslated by Niffiwan in Feb 2026. The first little poem about the rat could not be made to rhyme, but attempts to have the same number of syllables per line. The second poem (about the firefly) is translated in rhyme:

One night, exploring a deep root
Beneath a mangrove tree,
A small firefly entered the sea,
Still shining merrily.

He gazed into the darkness long:
'Twas night, in every sense!
And realized: "It's no fun, alone.
I'll go and find some friends!"

Just then, a voice called: "My dear gent!
Don't dawdle by the doors!
And I hope it is your intent
To snuff that light of yours!"

"Move back at once from where I'm at.
Yes, you, with that cursed light!
Or someone might imagine that
It's me who's shining bright!"

Then, wishing good advice to give,
A bass, with his voice hoarse,
Whispered to him: "You want to live?
Then douse that light of yours..."

At that, the child sunk in dismay:
"Is my fate, then, foreknown?
Am I to always, till I'm grey,
Sit in the dark alone?

Does this world have no one who'd want
To light up this dark night?
There's nothing else in all the world
That also makes a light?

Oh, no! This is not worth my while!
I could not live this way!
Tremble below, if that's your style;
But I'll swim on today!"

Just then, in the weeds something swayed,
And made a gasp demure:
"Ah, could you please come to my aid?
Else I won't long endure..."

"I, also, got a little lost,"
A little seahorse said.
And the small light, it played and tossed
As it raced on ahead!

The sea waves brightened. Darkness thinned,
The quiet swell rang with awe...
And suddenly his vision cleared,
And suddenly, he saw

Not stars next to the rolling clouds;
A wave, filled to the brim
With lights - a merry carnival
Of fireflies just like him.

And each was shining like the sun,
And each was swimming on,
Shining and singing to his friend:
"Shine on, shine on, shine on!.."
