    A Finn and Swede were arguing which ones mother tongue sounds more beautiful.
    Since they couldn´t find a solution they asked help from an English linguist.
    The linguist asked both of them to translate the following poem by Percey Shelley into their own languages:  " Island, island, Grassy island, Grassy
    island`s Bride."

    It was the Finn´s turn first. He translated:
    " Saari, saari, Heinäsaari, Heinäsaaren Morsian."

    Then the Swede translated the poem:
    " Ö, ö, Hö ö, Hö öns Mö. "
