4 questions on what you just read. Get one wrong and the story will show you where it says otherwise.

Words by L. L. Zamenhof (1859-1917), printed in his own Fundamenta Krestomatio (1903), pp. 321-322, among his original poems; the text here is transcribed from that edition on Wikisource, with typographic apostrophes made plain. The linked video is a spoken reading (no melody), posted in 2017 by the Poemoj en Esperanto channel. Zamenhof died in 1917, so the words are long out of copyright on every term. Source text. Translation ours.
