Ok, so now I wrote a little story, can you please correct! Also, don't judge the content, hehe, because it doesn't make too much sense.

Ọjọ́ kan ní igbó

- Mo rí ọba kìnìún ìgbà tí nrìn nígbó. Mo kí i. Kìnìún sọ: kí'lo dé o nsáko ní igbo mi? Mo dá kìnìún lóhùn: òfòfó nsọ pé àjẹ́ igbó nsọ ẹ dìbàjẹ́.

Kìnìún: Ràrà, ò bẹ́ẹ̀. O yà mi lẹ́nu pé o nfẹ̀sun lọ mi.

Mi: Kò buru, màá lọ bayìí, sùgbọ́n mo yòó sọ́ ẹ. Ẹ mọ̀ pé mo ní ibọn mi. (yes, gun cheesy)

Kìnìún: Ọ̀dẹ̀ oo! N ò tilẹ̀ mọ̀ pé o nbọ̀, níbo ni àjẹ́ rẹ wà?

Mi: "Ẹ́rìn", a má rí.

Lẹ́hin náà mo lọ s'íbi ọba ejó.

Ọba ejó: "sss", nígbà wo ni o dé?

Mi: Má seré. Níbo ni àjẹ́ wà?

Ọba ejó: "ss", fún mi ewúrẹ́ kan, sì màá sọ fún.

Also, I used "ẹ" because that's the honorific I was taught, and I'm pretty sure it's correct in standard Yoruba. Also, the "s" with dot won't show for some reason, so I changed it to "s". I also hope that it can be of help to Eze.
