  It came across to see a young girl passing by their front door. He asked his son,"How do you say Zabor-Gyn'ar in English ?"
  =
 His son said,"Girl".   Father heard the word "Go'ar", so he asked, "Then, how do you say Go'ar in English ?"    Son answered, "Goose".   Father heard the word as "Guu". 
  Twafhør khvoartiøh cidee zabor-gyn'ar tuy mngkhao kviaa-køex.  Y ciu mng yn-kviar, Zabor-gyn'ar, Engguo tiøh afnnar korng ?"

  So he asked,"Then, how do you say Guu in English ?" His son said, "That's Cow."   Father heard he said,"That's Kao" so he asked,
"Then how do you say Kao in English ?" 
  His son said, "Dog."   Father 
heard the word "Lok",  so he asked,"   Then, how do you say Log'ar in English ?" 
                  =
  His son answered, "Deer".  The   more the father heard, the more he became confused, so he asked,
"Then, what is Ti'ar in English ?" 
      =-
   His son answered, "Pig".
Father is a little mad, so he edked,"Then what is Piq ?"
   His son did not know what's 
Piq in English, so he answered,
"There is no Piq in England, so there is no such word."
   Lauxpe ciu mng korng, "Ar guu, Engguo afnnar korng ?" Yn-kviar korng si "Cow".   Lauxpe thviazøx si "Kao" ciu køq mng korng,"Ar kao ee Engguo si afnnar korng.
