Jumatate de om

Explanation:
Din cate imi amintesc, in povestile lui Ispirescu aparea un personal numit Jumatate-de-om-calare-pe-jumatate-de-iepure-schiop. Iti citez sfarsitul povestii, ca sa vezi de ce m-am gandit la Jumatate de om:

... when, soon after, the little man entered and said, "Queen, what is my name?" she asked him mischievously: "Is your name Kunz?"
"No."
"Is your name Carl?"
"No."
"Are you not sometimes called Rumpelstiltskin?"
"A witch has told you - a witch has told you!" shrieked the poor little man, and stamped so furiously with his right foot that it sunk into the earth up to the hip; then he seized his left foot with both hands with such violence that he tore himself right in two.
("The Mammoth Book of Fairy Tales" (edited by Mike Ashley, Robinson, London, 1997, p. 387)

Desigur, daca nu s-a tradus deja in alt fel...
