Iyoobi hizgi zaarides; 
«Intte tana awude gakkanaas waayisandetii? Awude gakkanaas yo7on taas meqeth menththandetii? 
Hekko intte tana tammuto cayeeta; tana kawushshishekka yeellatekketa. 
Tumukka tani balettidaa gidikko ta balay tana xalla qohana. 
Tumu intte inttena dhoqqisidi ta kawushshateththaa inttes marshe miish ooththeeta. 
Gidikkoka hayssa ubbaa metoza ta bolla gaththidaynne, gite giddo tana yeggiday Xoossa gididayssa intte erana mala ta koyays. 
Ta qohettadis gaada woossiin tana siyiza as demmabeekke; ta qaala dhoqqu ooththada magannikokka suure pirda demmabeekke. 
Xoossi taas ogeza gordida gishshas aadhdhanaasoy deenna; ta baanaasozakka dhuman gordides. 
Ta bonchchoza ta hu7eppe qaaridi tana kawushshides. 
Ta asateththa Ubbasora qoxereththidi mulera laallides; taas diza hidota xaphoppe shodettidi kundiza miththa mala ooththides. 
Xoossi tana hanqettidi gita meto ta bolla gaththides; baas morkke mala tana qoodides. 
Tana dhayssanaas ba oosanchchata kiittides; taas dunkaaneza yuuyi aadhdhidi tana giddoththida. 
«Xoossi ta ishati taappe haakkana mala ooththides; tana eriza asati ubbay tana asa dere as kessida. 
Ta dabboti taappe haakkida; ta laggetikka tana balida. 
Tani tason imaththateth mokka ekkidayti ubbay tana balida; ta garadeti tana imaththa mala qoodida; allaga malakka xeellida. 
Tani ta oosanchchaza xeygishin izi taas koyenna; «tana maaddarkkii» ga ta waassishinkka ero geenna. 
Ta machcha taappe ke7iza peenoza shaatettadus; ta ishatikka hararettida. 
Qeeri naytikka tana kadheettes; tana be7iza wode ta bolla qilcceettes. 
Taas mata laggetikka tana shaatettida; ta siiqoti ta bolla morkke gidi dendida. 
Taas ashozi wuriin galbazi meqeththara oykettides; tana shiishshiin attadis. 
«Ta siiqotoo! Xoossa kushey tana shocida gishshas ane zay taas mishettite! Taas qadhettite! 
Xoossi tana gooddoyssa mala intteka tana aazas gooddeetii? Hayssa gakkanaas intte tana waayisidayssi gidennee? 
Hayssa gakkanaas ta haasayda qaala akeekizaynne maxaafan xaafiza asi dizaakko tana ay mala ufayssaneeshin! 
Iskirtoninne irsaasen xaafettidi woykko shuchcha bolla woocetti uttidi mernaas daana mala ooththidaakko ay mala tana ufayssandeeshin! 
Gido attiin tana ashshizayssi paxa de7iza mala wurseththa woden tana wozzanaas biitta bolla izi eqqanayssa tani erays. 
Taas galbazi meetetti wurikkoka tani ta asateththafe shaakettada tani Xoossaa beyanayssa erays. 
Hara as gidontta izakka tani ta hu7en ta ayfera beyana; ta wozinayakka he gallassayo keehi laamotees. 
«Ta siiqotoo! Tana walassidi waayisanaas ‹Hayssa metoza izi barkka baas ehides› gidi haasayeeta. 
Xoossa hanqoy mashshan qaxxayeteththan gaththiza gishshas mashshay inttena montta mala naagettite. Xoossa pirday dizayssaka erite.»
