When I was a small boy in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of the summer afternoon on a river bank, we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.
Sum smádrongur í Kansas fór eg við einum vinmanni at fiska, og sum vit sótu har á áarbakkanum ein lýggjan summarseinnapart, tosaðu vit um, hvat vit ynsktu at gera sum vaksnir. Eg segði honum, at eg ynskti at spæla baseball við einum veruligum toppliði, at gerast ein rættur yrkisleikari, sum Honus Wagner. Vinmaðurin segði seg ynskja at gerast forseti í USA. Hvørgin okkara fingu ynskini uppfylt.
