SKVR textEnglish
[Narin parantaminen.]
Sen, jolla nari on, pitää nostaa kolme kertaa sellaisen huoneen nurkkaa, joka on kolmannessa paikassa ja jonku toisen henkilön olla lähellä ja kysyä:
1"Mitäs nostat?""What are you lifting?"
Siihen nostajan pitää vastata:
2"Nostan naria.""I lift splinters [or firewood]."
