Yaatintto abbaa doonaa shafiyaappekka aad'd'i dees'anawaa. Hewaa diraw, ta k'aalay s'ala gideedda.

Hewaa mala k'umaa taani shenetay; hewaa mala k'umaa mooppe, taana sakkee. 
«Taani woosseedda woosay gakkeerennee! S'oossaykka ta wozanaa amuwaa immeerennee!

Shin bonii gakkiyaa wode, he shachchay muushiide, haatsaa kesee; haatsaykka he sa'aappe d'ayee. 
C'aanaa mehiyaa laaggiide biyaa zal"anchchatuu haatsaa koyanaw barenttu ogiyaappe gas'aa kesiide, mela biittan toyilakattiidde, hayk'k'i d'ayiino.

Woy, ‹Taana ta morkkiyaa kushiyaappe ashshite› woy, ‹Uk'k'inniyaawanttu kushiyaappe taana wozite› gaadditaa? 
«Hintte taana tamaarissite; taani c'o"u gaana. Ayaa bayzzaadditantto, ane taana bessite.
