S'oossaa golliyaa geliyaa wode, ne gediyaa akeekaade tangga. Sisanaw mataa shiik'iyaawe, eeyyatuu yarshshuwaa shiishshiyaawaappe aad'd'ee; ayaw gooppe, unttunttu iita oosuwaa ootsiidde de'iyaawaa erikkino. 
Ne doonaan haasayanaw, S'oossaa sintsankka biddanaw elleelloppa. K'ay ittibaa S'oossaw immana gaade ne wozanaan elleellaade geppa kichchoppa; ayaw gooppe, S'oossay saluwaan, neeni k'ay hawaan sa'aan de'aassa; hewaa diraw, ne haasayiyaa k'aalay guutsa gido.

S'oossaw neeni geppeeddawaa polanaw gam"oppa; ayaw gooppe, gam"iyaa eeyyatuwaan S'oossay nashettena. Hewaa diraw, neeni geppeeddawaa ubbaa pola. 
Ittibaa S'oossaw geppiide, polennan aggiyaawaappe koyiro geppennaan aggiyaawe lo"a. 
Neena ne doonay nagaran yeggennaadan, ne doonaa zawaappe aad'd'eeda yeda ootsoppa; k'ay S'oossaw ootsiyaawoo, «Kasekka hawaa taani akeekenan geppaad» gooppa.

Itti itti kaappoo aappe bollaanna suntsettiide, Aa s'eelliyaa hara kaappuu de'ee. K'ay unttunttu laa"uwaappekka bollaanna suntsettiide, unttuntta s'eelliyaa hara kaappatuukka de'iino. 
Haray attina, kaatiyaa gidooppenne, goshshaappe beettiyaa ayifetuu d'ayooppe, woppan de'anaw danddayenna. 
Biraa dosiyaa uraw biri gidi erenna; durettanaw siik'iyaa uraykka miishshaa kalli erenna. Shin ha ubbaykka mela. 
Duretetsay dariyaa wode, miyaabaykka hewaa keeshshaa daree. Yaatina, bare mas'uwaa c'oo ayifiyaan s'eelliide, «Taani dure» gaanaappe attina, harabaa aw ayaa maaddii! 
Oosuwaa ootsiyaa Asay guutsa min, daro min, saro gem"ishshuwaa gem"ishiide ak'ee; shin durii bare duretetsaw ubbaa wode un"ettiide k'oppiyaa diraw, gem"ishshuwaa d'ayiide de'ee. 
Saluwaa gufantsan loytsi kayyoyiyaawaa harabaakka taani be'aad; iita wodiyaan barena maaddo giide, Asay barew de'eeddawaappe guyye wotsiide dagayee. 
K'ay he duretetsay itti iitabay gakketina d'ayi kichchee. I na'aa yeleeddawaa gidooppekka, na'aa laatissiyaawaana d'ayiide, mela attee. 
Asi ubbay koyiro kallo yeletteeddawaadan, mela kushiyaanna simmiide baana. Ay keeshshaa I daaburiide ootsooppenne, bare daabureeddabaappe akkiide biyaabay ayaynne baawa. 
Asi kallo yelettiide, kallo guyye simmiyaawekka k'ay loytsi kayyottiyaa iitabaa. Aa daaburay ubbay c'arkkuwaa uc'c'iyaawaadan mela gidowaappe sintsan, I hewan ayaa maadettii? 
I bare laytsaa ubbaa d'uma de'uwaan, kayyuwaan, yilotiyaawaan, harggiyaaninne hank'k'uwaan wurssee. 
Hewe hewaa gidooppenne, taani akeekeedda itti lo"obay de'ee; hewekka saluwaa gufantsan S'oossay Asay de'anaadan immeedda k'antsa laytsaa giddon, Asay daaburaappe miyaawe, ushiyaawenne nashettiyaawe lo"anne bessiyaawaa. Ayaw gooppe, Aa kaac'ay hewaa. 
S'oossay asaw duretetsaanne mas'uwaa immiyaawe, bare daaburaa gatiyaa demmiide, miiddinne ushiide nashettanaassa. Hewekka k'ay S'oossaappe aw imetteedda imotaa. 
S'oossay Aa wozanaan ubbaa wode nashshechchaa kuntsi wotsiyaa diraw, I bare de'uwaa laytsaabaa daro k'oppenna.
