SKVR textEnglish
Voitiinpa metsänkin petoeläimet saara raatelemaan naapurien karjaa muutamalla sanalla sanoen. Niinpä esim . . . karhu saatiin raatelemaan seuraavilla sanoilla:
1Nouse karhu kankahasta,Rise, bear from the heath,
2vesihiisi helvetistä,Water-demon from the underworld,
3nouse mäkehen,Rise to the hill,
4tartu sakehenSeize the thicket!
Nämät sanat sanoen joku, joka tahtoi karhun nostaa toisen karjaan, niin se tapahtui.
