The Diaries of Adam and Eve / Pamiętniki Adama i Ewy

she says they weren't apples, but instead that they were chestnuts
Mówi, -e to nie by-y jab-ka, ale kasztany
I said I was innocent since I had not eaten any chestnuts
Powiedziäem, -e jestem niewinny, poniewä nie jad-em -adnych kasztanów
but the Serpent informed her that "chestnut" could also have a figurative meaning
ale W-- poinformowä j-, -e "kasztan" mo-e mie- równie- znaczenie przeno-ne
she says a chestnut can be an aged and mouldy joke
Mówi, -e kasztan mo-e by- starym i sple-niäym -artem
I turned pale at this definition
Zblad-em na t- definicj-
because I have made many jokes to pass the weary time
bo zrobi-em wiele -artów, aby zabi- znu-ony czas
and some of them my jokes could have been of the chestnut variety
A niektóre z nich moje -arty mog-y by- z gatunku kasztanów
but I had honestly supposed that they were new jokes when I made them
ale szczerze przypuszczäem, -e by-y to nowe dowcipy, kiedy je robi-em
She asked me if I had made any jokes just at the time of the catastrophe
Zapytäa mnie, czy -artowäem tylko w momencie katastrofy
I was obliged to admit that I had made a joke to myself
Musiäem przyznä, -e zäartowäem sam sobie
although I did not make the joke aloud
chociä nie -artowäem g-o-no
this was the joke I was thinking to myself:
To by- -art, który sobie pomy-läem:
I was thinking about the waterfalls
My-läem o wodospadach
"How wonderful it is to see that vast body of water tumble down there!"
"Jak cudownie jest patrze-, jak ten ogromny zbiornik wodny spada w dó-!"
Then in an instant a bright thought flashed into my head
Nagle w mojej g-owie b-ysn--a jasna my-l
"It would be a great deal more wonderful to see the water tumble up the waterfall!"
"By-oby o wiele wspanialej zobaczy-, jak woda sp-ywa w gór- wodospadu!"
I was just about to die from laughing when all nature broke loose
Ju- miäem umrze- ze -miechu, gdy rozp-täa si- cäa przyroda
