Why did the chicken cross the road?

On instagram I found Torafish's account.
He makes beautiful photos, and besides that, he collects a certain sentence in all languages: 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'.
Not the answer to this question, but the question itself. He collects these to add to his 17 cm x 10.8 cm sketchbook.

So far he didn't have the Dutch version, so I drew and wrote him this.



(Fortunately there was extra room on the envelope, as I couldn't resist to have the chicken think of the answer..)

Multilingual Vlinder

Het woord 'vlinder' is in veel talen totaal anders. Erg interessant, volgens mij, vandaar deze multilinguale versie.

The word 'butterfly' is varying a lot when translated. I think it interesting how this insect is called in various languages. So that's why this multilingual butterfly appeared.
Made for Gin, founder of the IUOMA group 'Polyglots United', and language lover (as I and more people are).

Yes, I became member of the famous IUOMA, and yes, it indeed is a great network: due to the IUOMA I got mails from colleagues I possibly otherwise wouldn't ever have met.

And I received a e-mail from a friendly person from overseas, who told he didn't pass the stringent criteria to become a IUOMA member. Of course this caused many feelings of compassion, and as I gathered that this kind person likes to talk, likes words, this work came out of my pen to be send to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
