My first attempt at such a translation. Tsayah is a work in progress.
This was difficult and I'm sure there are still some errors and problems
to be ironed out.
>English version:
>Long ago, in a quiet village in France, there lived a miller. That miller
>had three sons and two daughters. The oldest son wanted to become a knight
>one day, but his father had no money to buy a horse. The middle son wanted
>to become a monk, but the nearest monastery had no room for him. The
>youngest son didn't know what he wanted to do. We don't know what the
>daughters wanted, because stories in those days didn't talk about such
>things.
