    Translation

    A little hedgehog lies on the tower and does not believe that a little hedgehog lies on the tower.

    Vocabulary

    • wieża — tower (locative: wieży)
    • leżeć — to lie, to be lying (3rd sg. present: leży)
    • jeżyk — little hedgehog (diminutive of 'jeż')
    • wierzyć — to believe (3rd sg. present: wierzy)

    Grammar note

    'Na wieży' uses the locative after 'na'. The clause 'że na wieży leży jeżyk' has the same structure as the main clause. The joke is that the hedgehog does not believe its own situation.
