There were many children in the room;
Their noisy fun [can be heard] from the room;
[Causing] the woman to go into the room.
[She] said:
What is all this noise? Go [play] outside!
The woman's son replied:
All along, there had been no children with me;
Now, there are many children.
So they and I are having fun.
Why should we go outside?
The woman replied:
Their rowdy noise is [causing] me grief and a headache!
Go, go! (shoo! shoo!)

Er... I just compared this to my smooth translation and I am befuddled at
how a story about children playing turned into a woman with a magic egg :P
