Iyoobikka hizgi zaarides; 
«Tani hayssa mala haasaya daro wode siyadis; intte saleththiza zoranchchata. 
Hayssa intte hada haasayas wurseththi bayee? Hayssa lagge tanara marshettana mala inttena denththeththiday aazee? 
Intte ta sozan gidiin tani intte sohon gididaakko kadhen tani hu7e qaaththada ha7i intte gizayssa ubbaa intte bolla lo7eththa haasayanakkoshin. 
Hessa malakka ta doonan inttena minththeththananne minththanaas daro haasayanakkoshin. 
«Gido attiin daro haasaykkoka ta hargey haa lo7enna; co7u ga dandaykkoka ta waayey taappe kichchenna. 
Xoossawu! Tana asateththafe kare kessadasa, ta dere asaa ubbaa dhayssadasa. 
Ta asateththay gundoyssi ta bolla dendidi neni nagaranchcha giidi ta bolla markkattees. 
Xoossi tana hanqidi ta asateththa qanxxereththides; tana ixxidi ba ach ta bolla garccides; ta morkkey ba ayfe ta bolla maxi kessides. 
Asay ta yuushon shiiqettidi ta bolla ceeqettides; tana qidhe qaalan baqqida. 
Xoossi tana iita asatas aaththi immides; makkallanchchata kushen yeggides.

Wondafanchchati tana giddoththida; qadheteththi baynda ta kilahota qanxxereththida; ta ciyezakka biitta bolla gussida. 
Izi tana zaari zaari madunxides; mino olanchcha mala ziizimi yiidi tana shocides. 
«Ta kayoteththas maaqa sikka may7adis; gudulla bolla gufannadis. 
Ta ayfesoy yekon zo7ides; sakkanna dhumay ta siphinth kammides. 
Hayssi ubbay hanshin ta ooththida qohoy deenna; tani ta woosa Xoossako shiishshizay wozina geeshshateththanna. 
«Biittazoo! Tana gakkida qohoza ne kammofa! Suure pirda gishshas ta shiishshiza maganay kametti attana mala ne ooththofa! 
Hekko taas markkattizaadeynne afakaato eqqizaadey salon dees. 
Ta laggeti tana leqon xeelleettes; tani gidikko pude Xoossas yeekkays. 
As asara gaththi haasayssidi maqayinththizaadey dizayssa mala; as Xoossara gaththi maqayinththiza asi didaakko aazee dizay? 
«Ta layththas wurseththay gakkees; ta haa simma yonttaso baanaas guuththa wodey xalla attides.
