A finn and a Swede were arguing whos mother tongue
Sounds more beautiful. Since they couldn't find any
Solution they asked help from an English linguistic.
The linguistic asked both of them to translate the
Following poem by Percy Shelley into their own languages.

"Island, island, grassy island, grassy island's bride."

It was the finn's turn first. He translated:
"saari, saari, heinäsaari, heinäsaaren morsian."

Then the swede translated the poem:
"ö, ö, hö ö, hö öns mö."
