Liian Paha Sappi by Aaro Hellaakoski (1893 - 1952)

An arts podcast in Finnish from LibriVox

The poem Liian Paha Sappi by Aaro Hellaakoski, which tells the tale of a child struggling to keep his temper:

A TEMPER TOO BAD

How it burns my sisu

when I have to be quiet

If my will would be fulfilled

the undertaker would get grain.

A little boy has gotten

a temper too bad

This sisu cannot be put out

by even the most snowy Lapland.

This project is unusual in that most of the readers are non-Finnish speakers, and learned the poem phonically.

(Summary by Juho Fröjd and Catharine Eastman)
