Summary

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)
