For example: "The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go." I translate it as: i le ractu cu suksa se jenca gi'e falcru lei blabi ke kanba gluta e le bifpra gi'e bajra mo'ine'i le manku rai le ka sutra But I'm not sure this is quite right. Any ideas? mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
