Hahahaha!!

I seldom reply, but this is something special...
It's a beautiful story, written in "kindergarten"-style, I'd give it an A+, but then again I'm not the teacher here.

Well done Steve

One way of learning anything is to try to use it for something. Applying that
to Old Norse, I wrote this mini-story. Please note that I used things that I
haven't got to yet in Hauks course yet, but since I needed them, I went and
found them. Hopefully I got things right; if not, I'm sure someone will
correct my errors and I will improve my knowledge thereby.

Hér er maðr. Hann heitir Óláfr. Óláfr er konungr.

Hér er ok maðr. Hann heitir Eiríkr. Eiríkr er jarl.

Óláfr konungr á eigi bát.

Eiríkr jarl á bát. Bátrinn heitir "Ormrinn Langi."
Óláfr sér bátinn ok segir "Ek vil bátinn."
Eiríkr gefr eigi Óláfi bátinn. Óláfr vegr Eirík ok tekr bátinn.

Nú er Óláfr konungr víkingr. Menn sjá Óláfs bát koma ok flýja.
