Tulen sammutus ja valkean sanat.
Tulipalo saatiin sammumaan kiertämällä palava huone kolmasti. Kierrettäessä luettiin valkean sanat:
1Vaino kaukaa tuliVäinö came from afar
2heitellen helmojansa,swinging his garment hems,
3heitellen takkiansa,swinging his coat,
4jäinen hytty, jäinen hattu,icy hood, icy hat,
5jäinen kattila selässä,an icy kettle on his back,
6jäinen kauha kattilassa,an icy ladle in the kettle,
7jäinen - - - povessa.icy [object] in his bosom.
(enempää ei muistettu.)
