<p>Here's another text... <em>The king and the god</em>. I found it in
two different places that offered texts in reconstructed
proto-Indo-European. For the most part, I followed the version in <a
href="http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/geoffs/FAQ_PIE.html"
>Geoffrey Sampson's PIE FAQ</a>, replacing the old Indic god "Varuna"
with "Enäron", since that's the oldest reconstructed god name on
Almea. I usually had difficulties finding a word for "pray", but on the
whole, this text was easier to translate than Schleicher's tale.
Enjoy!</p>

<p>Once there was a king. He was childless. The king wanted a son. He
asked his priest: "May a son be born to me!" The priest said to the
king: "Pray to the god Enäron." The king approached the god
Enäron. He prayed to the god. "Hear me, father Enäron!" The
god Enäron came down from heaven. "What do you want?" "I want a
son." "Let this be so," said the bright god Enäron. The king's wife
bore a son.</p>
