Here’s a story E wrote for her Great Momaw’s birthday today. I’ll give you her writing first and then my translation:
“The Rambow Sorey”
“The Rainbow Story”
by E
Me and Kate or Woching A rambow.
Me and Kate are watching a rainbow.
The rambow gis Bigr. And Bigr and Bigr. (caption at the bottom for the picture: hall site)
The rambow gis Bigr. And Bigr and Bigr. (caption at the bottom for the picture: hall site)
The rainbow gets bigger. And bigger and bigger. (Whole City)
The holl Site hass A rombow Ov The hall Site.
The whole city has a rainbow over the whole city.
So that’s the story – largely driven by the drawings I believe. We have started an epic novel on a legal pad of paper – sans illustrations – so sometime when I have spare hours to scan each individual page of text I’ll post it. It’s much more plot driven, and quite spooky in places. Although I guess a rainbow that overshadows the city and turns things dark and menacing is pretty spooky in itself.
