Koi paranee seuraavilla sanoilla, kun ne 9 kertaan luetaan:
1Koi juoksi tietä myöten.The Koi ran along the road.
2Tuli Vapahtaja vastaan ja kysyi:The Savior came forth and asked:
3"Minkäs menet, paha koi?""Where are you going, evil Koi?"
4Koi vastas': "Menen luuta luistamaanThe Koi answered: "I go to scrape bones
5ja lihaa polttamaan."and burn flesh."
6"Minä kiroon sinun 2:den kovan kiven ja kallion rakoon.""I curse you into the hard stone and the fissure of the rock."
