LINC-405: Assignment #3

Preface: On Wednesday, October 19, 2022, in the LINC-405 "Skills Workshop" (6:00-6:30 pm),
William Cavada showed how to use Voice Typing (Works in Chrome but not in Safari browser). He did a Language Translation (English to Esperanto), & Citations. I selected my recent poem "Dog Selects a Treat" (10-30-2022), and made a translation from English to French.
20 errors (bold) made in voice translation. Made line breaks (BR) after each line and each stanza. Quote and unquote ("") not registered in 4 cases. Many capitalized words not rendered as well as dashes (—). Translation not made with voice typing because of so many errors.
On Nov. 2's Zoom Session of LINC-405, Gene Tognetti helped me find the Microphone for Voice Typing to complete this assignment.

Dog Selects a Treat

2-Card Monte played with his dog
switching around two cups with treats.
Dog selects cup on his left side
and is fed the one candy inside.

Cup not chosen has a dozen treats
and dog appears somewhat disgusted,
so he spits out the one treat offered.
Many finds this video funny— Why?

The dog's reaction is similar
to human behavior as most
want something "Bigger and Better"
like the story in Grimm's Fairy Tale

The Fisherman and His Wife—
After catching a fish that was a prince,
the fisherman threw it back into the sea,
his wife wants the fish to grant her a wish—

a cottage instead of their hovel,
husband goes back to the sea and
fish says it's done— nice cottage with
garden of fruit trees for their pleasure.

Wife not satisfied and wants a mansion,
then to be a king, then emperor, and
pope with palace & servants— all her
wishes granted— "Bigger and Better".

Then she wants to control the heavens
but found herself back in her hovel—
Lesson of wanting what we have not
and not joyful of what we have got.

I'll have what's smaller and content
with peace of mind and tranquillity—
the path of a sage living a life
filled with grace and blessings.

Le chien choisit une friandise

2-Card Monte a joué avec son chien
en alternant deux tasses avec des friandises.
Le chien sélectionne la tasse sur son côté gauche
et reçoit le seul bonbon à l'intérieur.

Coupe non choisie a une dizaine de friandises
et le chien semble quelque peu dégoûté,
alors il recrache la seule friandise offerte.
Beaucoup trouvent cette vidéo drôle— Pourquoi?

La réaction du chien est similaire
au comportement humain comme la plupart
voulez quelque chose de "plus grand et meilleur"
comme l'histoire du conte de Grimm

Le pêcheur et sa femme—
Après avoir attrapé un poisson qui éait un prince,
le pêcheur le rejeta à la mer,
sa femme veut que le poisson lui accorde un voeu—

une chaumière au lieu de leur taudis,
mari retourne à la mer et
le poisson dit que c'est fait— joli chalet avec
jardin d'arbres fruitiers pour leur plaisir.

Femme insatisfaite et veut un manoir,
puis d'être roi, puis empereur, et
pape avec palais et serviteurs— tout son
souhaits exaucés— "Plus grand et meilleur".

Alors elle veut contrôler les cieux
mais se retrouva dans son taudis—
Leçon de vouloir ce que nous n'avons pas
et pas joyeux de ce que nous avons.

J'aurai ce qui est plus petit et content
en toute quiétude et tranquillité—
le chemin d'un sage vivant une vie
rempli de grĂ¢ce et de bénédictions.
