tlhIngan ghe'naQ bej pab po'wI'; 'ej ghaH retlhDaq ba' tlhIngan ghojwI'..
a klingon grammarian watches klingon opera; and next to him sits a
klingon student..

vaj, ghojwI'vaD jatlh pab po'wI'; ghantoH pIn'a' lot'a' DaSov'a' ? ghel po'wI'
have you ever heard of the tragedy of the master of Ca'Non ? asks the grammarian

ghobe'; jang ghojwI'..
no, replies the student..

ngoDvam vIpIHpu'; SoHvaD lutvam lujatlhqangbe' ghantoH pabbe'wI'pu'.
I thought so; its not a story Ca'Non breakers would tell you.

tlhIngan Hol wIch 'oH..
its a klingon legend..

tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI' ghaHpu' ghantoH pIn'a''e'; tlhoy valpu'mo',
tlhoy vaQpu'mo', 'ej tlhoy vumta'mo', tlhIngan Hol ghantoH naQ ta
chenmoHlaHpu', 'ej tlhoy varHa'pu'mo', latlhpu'vaD ghantoH taDaj
bonpu'.

The master of Ca'Non was a speaker of klingon, so wise, so thorough,
that he managed to create an archive of the entire Ca'Non of klingon;
and because he was generous, he always shared his Ca'Non archive with
others.

Dojqu'bej ghantoH SovDaj..
he had such a knowledge of Ca'Non..

meqvammo', vabDot ghojwI'pu' tlhIb QaHlaH, 'ej ghaHmo', vabDot
jatlhwI'pu'na' mojlaH..
he was even able to turn incompetent students into masters..

(jatlh ghojwI':)
(says the student:)

tlhIbwI'pu'na'vaD, pIn'a' mojmoHlaHbej'a' ?
tlhIbwI'pu'na'vaD, ghantoH ngeb nompuq junmoHlaHbej'a' ?
he could actually save people from non-canonic influences ?

(jang pab po'wI':)
(the grammarian replies:)
laH law' lojmIt'a' 'oH tlhIngan Hol ghantoH Sar'e'; taQ 'op net Har..
the Ca'Non side of klingon is a pathway to many abilities; some
considered to be unnatural..

nuq 'oHpu' SanDaj'e' ? ghel ghojwI'
what happened to him ? asks the student

vaj, jang pab po'wi':
and replies the grammarian:

Do'Ha', boQwI'DajvaD Hoch 'otHa', vabDot taDaj chaw' ngoq 'otHa'. vaj,
QongtaHvIS, taDaj naw'meH boQwI'Daj, nIDta', 'ej bong, taDaj ghItlhHa'
!

Unfortunately, he revealed everything to his apprentice, including the
password of his Ca'Non archive; so while he was sleeping, in attempt
to access his master's archive, the apprentice accidentally deleted it
!

wejpuH..
ironic..

tlhoy latlhpu' tavaD ghaqlaHpu', 'a tagha' ngabpu' taDaj'e' !
he was able to contribute so much to the archives of others, but
eventually it was *his* archive that vanished !

'ej ghel ghojwI':
so asks the student:

laH'a'vam ghojlaH'a' vay' ? qIt'a' ?
is it possible to learn this power ?

not SoHvaD laH'a'vam lughojmoH ghantoH pabbe'wI'pu'.. jangpu' pab po'wI'
not from Ca'NoN breakers.. replied the grammarian..
