[Mihalic] piano definition

[John Lynch]

This is a European fabrication - along the lines of 'helicopter' being
"translated" as 'Mixmaster blong Jisas Krais'. PNGans are far more likely to
have seen a helicopter than a Mixmaster. This may have been a DESCRIPTION of
what a piano is, but it is hardly a definition/translation.

I just received a great definition of "piano" through my tok pisin 
translation site.  Here it is:

"Big pela blak pela bokis, i gat wait pela na blak pela tis, ol taim yu 
paitim em, em i crai aut!"

Wow!   Has anyone heard this before?  I'm curious because my sister 
taught piano for a music class in ENB and never heard this definition.
