Na only person when get patience well-well, go fiti cook stone sotay e go done reach to chop.

Where there is a will, you go meet relative plenty.

Out of all lizard when lie-down ontop roof for sun, na only the one when belle dey worry am, go fiti know hinself.

The run when buffalo run after wey hunter shoot am wound, na to save him own life TOGETHER with hunter life, make am dey run.

No how wey hungry fiti wire bush rat, wey he go forget himself put leg near the place when only one ripe banga dey for ground, because na trap be dat.

Na the ting when bush rat take eye see for night, come make am by-force dey wakka SOFTLY for afternoon.


Man pikin when take eye see die, begin dey run like antelope, nogo remember the leg when dey pain am before.


No how wey tortoise wakka go far, na for inside hin house he go sleep that night.

Over-sabi person when carry him dog go sell, come take the money buy baboon for market, go regret hinself and cry say "had I known", when time reach.
