I first started capturing her storytelling using the video mode on our digital camera, around about April, but she soon refused to let me film her. So I tried writing her stories while she told them, using pen and paper. That lasted for only a few stories too, before she caught on. Since then, I've been recording her using a mini MP3 recorder, which is pretty unobtrusive, and transcribing the audio later. She then objected strongly to this as well... Nowadays I use a combo of MP3 and video to record her before transcribing. I only manage to record a fraction of the stories she tells. I always have a backlog of stories on the recorder that still need transcribing, as it's impossible for me to keep up with her. To help new readers, I've marked my favourite stories with a star (*), so at least you have somewhere to start if you don't know where to begin. Don't forget to check the older archives too - there are some gems in there as well!

Aladar, 2007-09-01

Aladar. He was just looking for the shoobane. The shoobane was not looking out. Only a knight came near it. Then the nearer it obeyed him, didn’t look out at the service, no time at the service.

Deek behind, Deek behind Aladar New Adventure!

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there lived a young man. He was, name was Aladar. Aladar loved to play all night and all along, and no contents came near him.

Contents.

No content came near him, but only a knight. Not a knight can come near him, but he’s a knight Norip. After the Nineown Open Plains, there were vultures circling around him. Other vultures, too, but no other vultures came near him. They were peaceful, but they were not like the Orish(?) one. They were scared of him, because they thought he might eat them.

After they looked out, they saw a bunch of Aladars coming. No fifty, long ago... there were no time, but only a knight came near his adventure, came and came and came. And came and came from far away, until he can’t see it anymore, until the whole ground was shaking.
