Hi,

A voice said to me:
"Smile and be happy!
Things could be worse!"
So I smiled
and was happy
and things got worse

Here's The Glasca version with its new French inspired orthography. I
hope Orthography is the right word. Anyways:

Te dricadique:
"Chimeau leau Felairtoigue!
Nirre vape affa!"
Neau, ichimoque
leau, istahaque
leau nirre vassoque.

Te-a voice
dricadique - said to me
chimeau - smile
leau - and
felairtoigue - have happiness
Nirre - things
vape - worse
affa - can be
Neau - then/so
ichimoque - I smiled
istahaque - I was happy
vassoque - became worse
