I am pining for Poland. . .
Hili: Jerry, why are you eating Malgorzata’s jam and drinking from a mug with my picture on it?
Jerry: I miss my friends in Dobrzyn.
Hili: Well, come back and we can get lost in the forest together.
In Polish:
Hili: Jerry, dlaczego jesz dżem Małgorzaty i pijesz z kubka z moim zdjęciem?
Jerry: Bo tęsknię do moich przyjaciół z Dobrzynia.
Hili: To wracaj, będziemy się mogli razem zgubić w lesie.
Note: I sent this picture to Andrzej and Malgorzata yesterday with my own dialogue, just for fun and not expecting it to be used as a Genuine Hili Dialogue. When Malgorzata received it, she said she would submit it to both Andrzej and Hili for consideration as a dialogue, but that the “decision was theirs, not hers.” I then got an email from Malgorzata this morning:
Hili demanded change in the last line. She said that it would be fun to show you all her favourite haunts. Just be prepared to crawl on the ground, jump from tree branch to tree branch and sit without moving a muscle for a long time, waiting for a rodent.
Then you must go there! Poor little Hili…
Awwww…. 🙁
Will you Skype with Hili?
Oh, if you should ever do that, Dr. Coyne, would you please take a screen shot as well as a photo of the occasion? 😀
Pining for Poland would be the perfect name for a squeezebox album.
‘Twould be worth it.

And leave dead voles as presents!
I can just picture you scampering through the forest with Hili, searching for tasty rodents. It would certainly be a very memorable kind of holiday 🙂
