Lucid Frya!
The first thing she taught her children was self-mastery,
the second was love of virtue.
And when they grew up,
she made them understand the value of freedom,
for she said:
‘Without freedom, all other virtues
will only help make you into slaves,
bringing eternal shame upon your ancestry.’
LICHTE FRYA.

It nijsgjirriche fan it OLB is dat it skreaun is mei kennis en kunde fan taal en de alde tiid. At is falsk weze moat, dan hat de persoan him tige ferdjippe yn it underwerp. De auteur moat ek kennis hawn ha fan de saneamde Ragnarök.
ReplyDeleteIt grutste probleem is miskien dat de skiednis sa 't wy leare op skoalle, om it seft te sizzen, sa no en dan net doogt.
