Let's see if you understand/translate this in layman's term:

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

Translation:
Spoiler:

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down and broke his crown

and Jill came tumbling after!!!

No cheating now.

It reminds me of a trio of sightless rodentia I once encountered. I observed how they motivated.

When I observed their motivation, it was in the service of eluding the agricultural man's spouse who had abstracted their posterior appendages with a carving utensil.

Have you ever observed such an observation in your existence as a trio of sightless rodentia?

Propel, propel, propel your craft
Lightly through the solution!
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically;
Existence is but a delusion!

translates to......

row row row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream
