Ok, so I’m looking at this book, "One Frog too many" it says in English.

Hąą eegi waagax_hakiruxaraižą hotoǧocnąkre, ahm, "One Frog Too Many" aakšąną, ahm, Mąįxete hitʼera.

This paper right here, it is showing two frogs, two of them.

(Ee) eegi waagaxregišge wakąnąšgera nųųp, nųųpiwi (giwahanąk) wahanąkšąną.

One is big and one kind of small, smaller.

Ahm, hižą xeteanąga hižą xųnųįknįįsge, hiraijera xųnųįk.

****

****

It’s a story, I’m gonna try to tell it.

Eegi woorakižą waʔųąkra hotak nąąʔįkjene.

I’m looking at this first picture, there is a boy standing there.

Hokiwagax ceek hotoǧocnąkre hocįcįįkižą eegi nąąžįjee.

****

****

Ahm.. a box that came to him, they gave it to him as a gift, there is a little gift tag stuck on there, what it says, he’s looking at it.

Ahm, kookižą gijira waixeenįįsge wagiʔųirera, žee jaagu wawaagaxįk hija haraxgapra, jaagu aakra, horoǧocjee.

Their dog is in the back, he’s sitting there and a frog is sitting next to him.

Eegi šųųkįk nįįhiirašge nąąkeeja mįįnąknąkšąną, eegi wakąnąšgeižą hišge hikijąija mįįnąknąkšąną.

****

****

On the other side of the box there is a little turtle sitting there.

Eegi kook saanįk eejašge, ahm, keecąkįk hižą eeja mįįnąknąkšąną.

****

****

And in the second picture, kind of the second one, the boy I’m gonna call him Heeną, Heeną he opened the box.

Eegi hokiwagax, ahm, winųųpnįįsgera, winųųpra, hocįcįįk, Heenąga yaagekjene, Heeną, Heenąga kookra ruʔaššąną.

The lid, he opened it quickly.

(Iiha), iiharašge eegi ruʔaš reehi waʔų.

And the dog he’s standing there peeking into the box, looking in there.

Eegi šųųkįkra rookeja (horo), hoisʼį, horoǧoc nąąžįjee.

****

****

Frog, the little frog (head, dog) he’s sitting on the dog’s head and he’s looking inside the box.

Wakąnąšge, wakąnąšgeįkra, (nąąsu), (šųųk), šųųkįka nąąsu hihakeja hamįįnąknąga, kook rookeja horoǧocnąkšąną.

He’s looking kind of mad.

Woogiteknįįsgešge horoǧoc waʔųnąkšąną.

Turtle is standing right next to them and, ahm, he’s also trying to look but the box is too high.

Eegi keecąkįka hikijąija nąąžijaanąga, ahm, nįįšgeeja horoǧoc nąąʔįjaanųnįge, eegišge kookra hąąkši waʔųjee.

He can’t see it well.

Ke pįį haja ruxuruknį.

And then in the picture on the other side, Heeną, the inside of the box, ahm, he’s getting ready to take something out.

Eegi hige hokiwagax (hiki) saanįk eeja mįįnąknąkra, Heenąga kook rookeja, ahm, wažąįžą ruus hikorohojee.

****

The dog is kind of smiling there, and the turtle he is also kind of smiling looking at them.

Šųųkįk hikšanįįsge hija nąk, eegi (keecąkįkraše)-gašge, nįįšge hikšanįįsge eeja wooroǧocjee.

But the frog, the big frog is sitting there kind of mad, he’s looking over there instead (=somewhere else).

Nųnįge wakąnąšgera, wakąnąšge xetera, eeja mįįnąknąk woogiteknįįsge (s) gaajacą horoǧocnąkšąną.

Heeną, he had pulled out a little frog, that was in the box.

Heenąga wakąnąšgeįk hižą eeja rugop waʔųjee, kookeja, kookrookeja nąk.

They had made holes into that box, ahm, this, small animal, that frog there he’d lived in there for a little while, they had made it for him.

Kookjeegašge eeja poopox hiire waʔųjeera, ahm, žee ee (wa) wanoicgeįk, wakąnąšgenąka, eeja hakocąk cii waʔųra, giʔųire.

So, if I flip the page, I’m looking at a picture, in which Heena he’s getting ready to put that small frog on the ground, he put him on the ground there.

Eegi waagaxra tuuǧąanąga, hokiwagax (hoto) hotoǧoc, (k) hotoǧocra, Heenąga wakąnąšgeįk xųnųįknąka mąija kąnąk hikoroho, mąija kąnąk, kąnąkjee.

And the doggy is kind of smiling, ahm, whatever he is thinking of, there he’s looking at him.

Eegi šųųkįka hikšanįįsge, ahm, jaagunįįsge hire waʔųnąk eeja horoǧocnąkšąną.

Turtle there also is smiling, kind of smiling looking at him, at that small frog.

Keecąk eeja, keecąkrašge eeja hikša, hikšanįįsge horoǧocnąkšąną, wakąnąšgeįk xųnųįknąka.

And the big frog now he’s looking kind of mad in his direction, at the small frog.

Eegi wakąnąšge xetera heejąga woogiteknįįsge horoǧoc reehinąkšąną, wakąnąšge xųnųįkra.

In the other picture, Heeną he’s standing there with his arms kind of crossed he’s looking at all of them: the dog, the turtle and the big frog, and the small frog, the new one, that had come to him.

Hokiwagax saanįk eeja, (hocį), Heenąga aara hakiruce anąga eeja nąąžį wooroǧocjee, hanąąc: šųųkra, keecąkra, nąga wakąnąšgexetera, nąga wakąnąšgexųnųįk ceek hanįjiira.

There the big frog he said something to him, maybe,"What you’ve come to do, I don’t know", he said to him.

Žee wakąnąšge xetera, wažą higanąkra, koreesge "Jaagu šʔųųrajigi, hąke yaaperesnį", hige waʔųnąkšąną.

There, in the other picture, in the one underneath, the big frog he bit the small frog’s leg.

Eeja hokiwagax ahm hijąrera, kųųhąija, wakąnąšgexetera wakąnąšgexųnųįkra huura hagiraxjakšąną.

He hurt him and the small frog started screaming.

Ratʼe waʔųra, wakąnąšgexųnųįkra iija(n)įk reehi.

That’s why Heeną’s got his mouth wide open.

Heesge Heenąga iižapjį horoǧocjee.

"Hey!" he’s thinking.

"Jaa!" hirajee.

****

****

Also the dog he sat back down and looked at him and turtle, and the turtle is sitting there too.

Šųųkįkašge (ahm) haakja mįįnąknąga horoǧoc, eegi keecąk, keecąkrašge eeja mįįnąk.

"What did he do/what’s wrong with him?" they’re thinking.

"Jaagu, jaagu ųųgają?" hiranąąkšąną.

In the next picture Heena is mad, he is scolding the big frog.

Hokiwagax saanįkeja, Heenąga woogitek, (ahm) wakąnąšgexetera nąąc_hisgijee.

The little frog, he put him in his hand and is lifting him up.

Wakąnąšgexųnųįkra nąąp hokąnąknąga ruʔąjee.

He’s lifting him up high and the dog is growling there.

Hąąkši howaʔąnąga, šųųkrašge eeja xįnįjee.

****

****

The dog is growling and the turtle is also mad, they’re all looking angrily at the big frog.

Šųųkįka (xųnį) xįnįjeeanąga, hige eegi keecąkrašge woogitek, hanąąc woogitek wakąnąšgexetera horoǧocnąąkšąną.

I’ll turn the page.

Eegi waagaxra tuuǧą, tuuǧąkjene.

There in the picture that’s lying there, they all went to play in the woods; Heeną is in front and he’s made himself a paper hat, and also, ahm, a kind of wooden toy, he’s made one for himself the dog is following him.

Eeja hokiwagaxra mįįkra, žee xataprookeja šgaac haraire, hanąąc, Heenąga cooweja waʔųąknąga, waagax wookąnąkižą kiikʼųanąga, (hįge), ahm, nąą, nąą wiišgac nįįsge hižą kiikʼųąnąga šųųkra ruxe waʔųąkšąną.

They went to play in the forest.

Hegų xataprookeja šgaac haraire.

Further back the turtle, the turtle is coming.

Nąąkera eeja keecąkįk, keecąkra huhe.

The big frog he is sitting on the back and the little frog he’s also sitting there, in the back, they’re all going to play.

Wakąnąšgexetera hihakeja hamįįnąknąga, eegi wakąnąšgexųnųįkrašge hija nąkšąną, nąąkeeja hanąąc šgaac hare waʔųnąąkšąną.

There is another picture sitting there again, in it there the turtle he’s kind of smiling, he’s following them; the big frog, the little frog he kicked him, he kicked him off quickly.

Hokiwagax hijąre žige eeja mįįnąkra, žee eeja keecąka eegi (hiž) hikšanįįsge, (waxu) woruxe waʔųąkra; wakąnąšgexetera wakąnąšgexųnųįkra (nąąxjak), nąąxjak reehi, nąąšip reehi.

There on the ground, ahm, he fell, he fell.

Eeja mąąija, ahm, hošipre, hošiprera (ee?).

In the next picture sitting there, Heena, he knows and then he’s scolding Big Frog.

Hokiwagax hikijąija nąkra, Heenąga hiperesra, eegi hige nąąc_hisgijee, wakąnąšgexetega.

"What are you doing?

"Jaagu (wašʔų), wašʔųšąnąki?"

****

****

"Don’t tease him!" he’s saying to him.

"Ke ružicnįre!" higajee.

And the dog again he’s growling.

Eegi hige šųųkrašge hige xįnįjee.

And the turtle, again he’s looking mad at him.

Eegi keecąkrašge hige woogitek horoǧocnąkšąną.

The little frog on the ground, there he’s crying.

Wakąnąšgexųnųįkra mąąija hahi ǧaaknąkšąną.

"He kicked me, he kicked me!" he’s saying.

"(ahm) Nąįxjakšąno, nąixjakšąno!" aanąkšąną.

****

****

If you turn the page (slip), if I turn it, on the other side the’ve all come to a little pond.

Waagaxra šuruǧągi, tuuǧągi, saanįkeja (ahm) hanąąc nįįkižą hirahiire.

Here a boat, a raft that they made for themselves, that he made it for himself, they’re going to play on it, the dog he is sitting on top there and the turtle is sitting there also and the little frog is also sitting there.

Eegi waac, nąąparas (kii) hižą kiikʼųirera, kiikʼųra, žee eeja hašgacirekjenera, šųųkra hihakeja waac, waaceja hamįįnąknąga, eegi keecąkrašge hija nąknąga (aaahm), wakąnąšgexųnųįkrašge hija nąkšąną.

And Heeną is getting ready to climb on it.

Eegi Heenąga hoti hikorohojee.

They’re all going to play.

There the big frog, on the ground there, he’s still sitting on the beach.

Eeja wakąnąšgexetera mąąija, wiiceja hegų mįįnąknąkšąną.

He is getting after him (scolding him).

"You’re going to sit here!"

"Eegi mįįšąnąkikjene!"

"You’re not going," he’s saying to him, to the big frog.

(Ahm) "Hąke šaranįkjene," higajee, wakąnąšgexetera.

"You were naughty."

"Woonįwąkšąną."

There, if you look at the other picture, the water, there they are, they’re just taking off, he’s looking towards the front, Heena (is).

Eeja (waa) hokiwagax hijąhįra hošoroǧocgi, teʔe nįįeja ųųnąąk ceek harairegają, cooweregi, cooweeja horoǧocnąkšąną, Heenąga.

There the big frog he’s coming towards them jumping.

Tee eeja wakąnąšgexetera tʼąąp huu.

In this next picture, they didn’t see him, the big frog.

Hokiwagax hikijąija nąkre, ke hajairanį, wakąnąšgexetera.

He’s landed (sitting) on the boat.

Waac hihakeja kirinąkšąną.

Next to the little frog, he landed there sitting.

Wakąnąšgexųnųįkra hikisa(n)įk eeja mįįnąk kirinąkšąną.

And Heena is still looking towards the front and the dog is looking towards the front, the turtle he’s trying to sleep for a little bit, he’s resting.

If you turn the page, if I turn it, there in the picture the big frog there he kicked the the small frog again, he kicked him off real high, he kicked him off real far.
