I'll have a go, then. English in square brackets is where my PIE
vocabulary has given out. I welcome all suggestions and comments. I
have likely made many errors.

The laryngeals are represented by ! 2 3. You is sing., y'all is pl.
> A lamb was playing in a stream.
ware:n !e[play]et sreumni
> A wolf said to the lamb:
wlkWos !ewekWet warnei
> "You have muddied my drink. I will prosecute you for that.".
'e[pollute]es aqwa:m ya:m 'epip3om. [prosecute]o:mi te to:i
> The lamb said "But I was well downstream from you".
ware:n !ewekWet: !e!esm !su supo tebHei
> The wolf said
wlkWos !ewekWet
> "But you have muddied it.
'e[pollute]es tod.
> And my father died because of you".
!mos kWe p2tr !emorjet [from, through] tebHei
> The lamb said "How can I be responsible for something that happened

> The wolf said "If it wasn't you, it was one of your people.
> Y'all have scarcely spared me,
> y'all, y'all's shepherds, and y'all's dogs.".
> And the wolf seized the lamb and took him away,
wlkWos kWe !e[seize]et warnm !ap!ebheret kWe tom.
> and in the bottom of the forest ate him.
> The rich always turn the law to get what they want.
