石落灰沙路茫茫，
小小夸马行路罔。
呼呼噜噜哭喊娘，
火山不动心惶惶。
掠虫急急身边过，
飞沙走石言凿凿。
一跤失了右前鞋，
夸马后悔没带粮。
工虫汹汹把它责，
打谩夸马任蹉跎。
一跤失了左后鞋，
屁颠屁颠向上爬。
战虫吼吼战甲虫，
扯咬撕抓夸马惊。
一跤余鞋全抛弃，
草木皆兵快快逃。
女王来寻听其言，
哭天喊地泪满面。
因其失鞋碎其壳，
生啖夸马雪前耻。
——丹莫图书馆，安萨斯·瓦伦莛 译

《How the Kwama Lost His Shoes》
In the ash and sand of Stoneyfalls
the little kwama lost his way
He hurps and durps, to his mother calls
but the volcanoes do not sway.
The Forager passed him
burbling then, with sand and skrit upon his back
He tripped and lost his front-right shoe
and wished he'd brought some kind of snack.
The Worker rawped him
chiding then, angry at the loss of time
He tripped and lost his back-left shoe
and skittered legs-past, up to climb.
The Warrior snarled him
fighting then, bites and snaps at nasty shalk
He tripped and lost both-other-shoes
avoiding monsters, things that stalk.
The Queen found him then
cries and leaks all down his face
She cracked his chitin for those lost shoes
and ate him squealing for his disgrace.
