Puppy

October 20

This is a Hungarian breed of dog. I won it for my Hungarian composition. The prompt was who / what is speaking. Here is my response:

Minden nap, egész nap, egész éjszaka, egy helyen állok. A hátam a falra van ragsztva. A fejem mozog.

A gyerek visszajön az iskolából és huzza a fülem. Jaj! Elsétal mellettem és most a másik fülem húzza! Bumm! Nem szeretem a gyereket.

Éjszaka nem vagyok képes mozogni. Alszom. Reggel a gyerek megy (juj) és én moygok oda - vissza, oda - vissza, a széllel. Van lyukam és néha kinézek a lyukon keresztül.

Soha nem megyek haza. Itt éltem, amikoraz első ember idejött, itt fogok élni, amig kidobnak. Fábol vagyok és a fejem fémből van. Hosszú ideig élhetek. Csak kérlek, vigazz rám!

A rough translation:

Every day, all day, all night, in one place I stand. My back is glued to the wall. My head moves.

A child comes back from the school and pulls my ear. Ouch! Walks past me and pulls the other ear. Boom! I don't like the child.

At night I cannot move. I sleep. In the morning, the child leaves (ouch) and I move, there and back, there and back, with the wind. I have a hole, and sometimes they look through the hole.

I never leave home. Here I lived when the first people came here, here I will live until they throw me out. I am of wood, and my head - of metal. I can live for a long time. Just please, be careful with me.

Can you guess what it is?

  1. At first, I thought TV, but that wouldn't make sense.

    And then, I thought a wooden swing. But it doesn't really have a back.

    How about a wooden door with a metal doorknob and a peephole?

  2. Yep, you got it. Nice! One other person in the class figured it out, they were all puzzling over it. Kinda awkward, actually.
