I attempted a translation of the famous "the wind does not respect a
fool" story. I took the English text from the episode "Rightful Heir"
where Kahless's clone recites the story. The only changes I made were
to use third person instead of first person (since presumably most
people who want to tell the story are not Kahless), and also to use
"stone and brick" instead of "stone and mortar", simply because we
have a word for "brick" and not one for "mortar".
"Long ago, a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people
sought protection within the walls. All except one man who remained
outside. [Kahless] went to him and asked what he was doing. I am not
afraid, he said. I will not hide my face behind stone and [brick]. I
will stand before the wind and make it respect me. [Kahless] honoured
his choice and went inside. The next day, the storm came and the man
was killed. The wind does not respect a fool."
