My a wor dr'ew da genowgh desky Kernôwek Bew, bes ew da genowgh desky tavasow erel? Eus whans dhewgh a wodhvos tavas aral? My a venja godhvos lies tavas. Eus othom dhebm a wül hedna? Nag eus! Terweythyow, thera vy ow redya toknys war fardeligow ha cadnys. Nag ens nevra en Kernôwek. Pandra venja anjei leverel? En Spaynek ha Portûgalek, ma tokyn ow leverel "Alimento completo para gatos adultos." Henn ew "Boos dien rag cathes cowldevys". Ma geryow Italek ow leverel "Ricco in pollo". Henn ew "Rych en yar". Ma hevelepter in nebes geryow. 

I know that you like learning Living Cornish, but do you like learning other languages? Do you want to know another language? I would like to know many languages. Do I need to do that? No! Sometimes, I read labels on packets and cans. They are never in Cornish. What would they say? In Spanish and Portuguese a label says, "Alimento completo para gatos adultos". That is "Complete food for adult cats". Italian words say "Ricco in pollo". That is "Rich in chicken". There is a similarity in some words.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
