[lojban-beginners] balcurnu (take two)

[Einar Faanes <einar@bommelibom.com>]

Sorry for being so sloppy. Saw today that the lojban translation was
pasted twice. I found this in a forum, with request to translate it to
different languages. Lojban was still missing, while esperanto, ido,
interlingua and toki pona had their versions. I think it is from some
russion scifi novel about primitive people living underground. The
translations can be found here: http://vermisnoster.narod.ru/

I did some changes based on the comments from Pierre and some sloppiness
I found myself after rereading it.

English:

The Great Worm makes the earth. It makes the world, makes man. The Great
Worm is everything. The Great Worm is life. The enemies of the Great
Worm, the men of machines, are death.

The Great Worm lives here. Close by. Around. The Great Worm digs all
tunnels. Afterwards, man says that he did it. No; the Great Worm. It
gives life, takes life away. Good people respect the Great Worm. Enemies
of the Great Worm want to kill. The priests say this.
