1Miu mau Mikko kualiWhat land? Mikko died
2Kissan kellot soitettiinThe cat's bells were rung
3Harakka hauran kaivoMagpie [at] Haura's well
4Varis maahan lauloCrow sang to the earth
5Kukko puuron keittiRooster cooked the porridge
6Kana riaskan lämmittiHen heated the stove
7Pikkulinnut lusikat pesiLittle birds washed the spoons
8Varis kauhan kaappi.Crow [placed] the bucket on the shelf
