SKVR textEnglish
Arvotusluku.
Jos ei arvannut määrättyä arvotuslukua, ajoivat toiset Huikkalaan lukemalla:
1Hui, hai Huikkalaa,Ho, hey [to/of] Huikkala,
2Huikkala koirat haukkumaa!Huikkala's dogs are barking!
3Ketä sieltä tulloo?Who comes from there?
(Tulija sanoo nimensä).

5Hiir o hänel hevosen,A mouse is his horse,
6Kivel lautsit or reken,Kivel's planks and sled,
7Olekors o ohjaksen,A straw-rope for reins,
8Sisälisko rinnustimen,A lizard as the breast-strap,

Jälestä lisäsi:
10Akat ammuit kytkyessä,Old women barked while hitching,
11Lampaat lattiaa lakasiit,Sheep licked the floor,
12Tytöt pahnoissa makasiit.Girls slept in the chaff.
