After Teddy Yetiās most recent English lesson with Mousie, I found a little notebook and weathered pencil on my desk. Mousie claimed the items werenāt hers, so I flipped through the notebook to determine the owner, only to discover pages filled with indecipherable pictograms.
A cursory examination was enough for Mousie to ID the abandoned notebook as Teddy Yetiās travel journal. Concerned that the Yeti might want to ādo writingā on his next hiking adventure, Mousie asked me to message Boo Bear about when she could drop off Yetiās things at their cave. Boo Bear then informed us that Teddy Yeti was out on a āYeti pilgrimageā and that heād intentionally left his journal for Mousieās use in the Bear & Mousie project.
Out of respect, Mousie has opted to await āthe authorāsā returnā before commencing translations. Still, Teddy Yetiās command of English is limited at best, so I expect most of the Rosetta-Stoning will be up to our resident ālinguistā, Mousie. To expedite the process, Iāve volunteered to hack an existing translation app to make it Yeti-Speak compatible, once Mousie has deciphered the pictograms and reverse engineered the grammatical system of Teddy Yetiās native tongueā¦ I do hope Teddy Yeti understands that translating an entire journal in an undocumented language wonāt happen overnight.
