  3. E ada seyana tova taudiyavo wagaidiya ivona, “Biyavo! Wanaela kanana babi fotafotana kana yalana ke bilika kana bubudi. Ada kana kabudi ebakabu wagaine.” Ada bilika ivegugaiyena, keke kabala. Ada koluta wagaine ikivefovefosedi.
  4. Ada kaduwe ivona, “Wanaelai, taudeyavo yada melala lakaina kana yogona. Ada wadadeku seyana didiga kana didina gina laka, gina laka gabama gina nuwaabina. E ada taudeyavo adayegana kana kilakaina ada fafali matatabuna kaliva ina alamaneda, ada keke kana vebiawawala babi matatabuna wagaine.”
