So it's a Hero Vs. Villain sort of thing?

Yeah. I'm at the part where Beowulf, son of Edgefellow, is going after Grendel (evil man who killed alot of people). He is at a city right now. I love the Old English language. It can be confuzzling though.

You mean like the English used in Julius Caesar?

No. Old English is before Shakespeare's time.

Oh, older than that? Can you give me an example?

Sure. I'll do my best. (line 258) "The chief among those seamen made answer, the war-band leader unlocked his word-hoard:'We have come from the country of the Geats, and are hearth-companions of Hygelac. My father was well known among the nations, a noble cheiftain,Ecgtheow by name. He weathered many winters till he passed away, an old man from his homeland; every one of the wise throughout the wide earth remembers him well.'" In Old English. "cg" is the equivalent of "j" in our language. Also, "sc" in Old English is the equivalent as our "sh."

It looks pretty easy to understand to me.

That's the thing about the book I bought. The publisher sorta changed the wording so that it would be easier to understand. I went with this version because it only costs about $4.95 without my discount.

Ah...what's the original version like?

I can't say. I can get it though without paying for it. I'll see if I can write down the same verse in it's original language when I go back to work and I'm on break.

Ye olde English? Did I miss something or what?

I don't think it was really important, but it was interesting.

yeah it was. XD

Ah.. *Resting mind for a minute*

*yawn* Hey, Kura...what's up?
