Now I will tell a story.

hana dul bursulda χabar, qixːunajla bik'ʷan χabarcab.

Once upon a time there was a girl called scab Patima.

rižubcar ružiblekːu ca qaˁšqaˁr Pat'ima bik'ʷan rursːi.

She was the oldest within her family.

il kulpatlicːer bah χulace ružibcar.

Once after the rain (she) went up to sweep in front of the house.

cajna markala hitːi čeruquncar qar qalsa qʷaˁrš barq'ij.

When she was sweeping, she found a walnut.

qʷaˁrš birq'anqːel barčːibcab qix.

She did not eat the nut herself, but threw it through the chimney into the house.

cinni aberkunne, turbaler lak'bikabarq'ibcab qili hel qix.

Then after she finished working, when she came down, her sisters were at home, arguing because of the nut. “I want it.” said one, “I want it.” said the other.

c'il ʡaˁči haberχːuritːi čirkaruqunqːel qilib rucbe biħible bužibcab hel qix bahanne, dam bikːi caba bik'ul, dam bikːi cara rik'ul.

She says, “Calm down, I will go into the forest and gather walnuts, do not cry, do not argue!”

il rik'ulcar parʁatdiχʷaj, dul agurre wac'acːe kadiqːanda qixbe, madisːutːaj, madirħutːaj rik'ulcar.

And then they were happy and calmed down.

c'il iltːira razi biχubcab ʡaˁħle bik'ul qːuʁal kabižibcab.

Patima took a sack and went into the forest and on the way she met a wolf.

Pat'imal hasːible qːapra agurcar wac'acːe i xunnisab sukbičibcab bec'.

“Ey, Patima,” says the wolf, “where are you up to, where are you going?”

wa Pat'ima, bik'ulcab bec', čina tːuraruqunnede čina argulde?

She answered like this, “My sisters want walnuts; I going out for nuts.”

helitːe bursibcab χabar, rucbaj qixbe dikːul argulda qixbaj.

Then Patima said, “Where are you going, wolf?”

c'il u čina argulde bec' rik'ulcar Pat'ima.

“Me, too,” it said, “I went outside, whatever happens. Maybe [I come across] a rotten galosh, maybe across another thing.”

dura bik'ulcab il, lebda tːura buqunne ce birkujal bertːib kaluš birkujal cara cik'al birkujal bik'ul.

Like this they went apart. Patima went into the forest, and the wolf went to her house where nobody was at home.

helitːe dik'ar bičibcab, Pat'ima agurcar wac'acːe a sːika (bec') qilib čak'al baxurre agurcab Pat'imala qili.

He entered the house and swallowed and ate all her sisters.

qili begurre berkuncab libil xurt'aʁibcab helila rucbe.

Then when Patima came home with the nuts, with the sack, she looks around, the door is open and nobody is at home.

c'il Pat'ima qili kareʁibqːel qixbal qːaplicːella, errik'ulcar uncːara ačle qiliw čak'al wakːu.

She suspected that the wolf had eaten (the sisters).

il šakričibcar bec'li berkːunce.

Then she sat down at the entrance of the house and was crying; as soon as she sat down, a fox that was passing by saw her.

c'il qalla burmasa karižible risːul ružibcar, helka satːi argan kːurtːaj čiražible hel.

“Wah Patima“, said the fox, “why are you crying, what happened?“

wa Pat'ima bik'ulcab kːurtːa cellij risːulde ce biχuble?

And Patima told the story, “Such and such happened“, she said, “I do not know what to do.“

i Pat'ima rursibcar helʁuna χabar helitːe helitːe agur rik'ulcar, ce barq'idel abalχulda.

The fox says, “I will help you.“

kːurtːa dul at kumek birq'anda bik'ulcab.

“Do not cry! I know, I suspect“, says the fox, “whose work this was. Now I will go to find the wolf.“

marisːutːa, dam balχulda; hel šak birkulda bik'ulcab, hil barq'ibel hel ʡaˁči; hana du baxanda bik'ulcab bec' barčːij.

“And I will shout ‘fork, spade, qixunaj’! When you hear this sound, come fast!“ it says.

i dul waˁwherʔanda kːaza k'at'a qixːunaj; hel t'ambaq'ibqːel u halakle hareʁe bik'ulcab,.

“Good“, says Patima and was happy.

ʡaˁħle rik'ulcar, Pat'imara razi riχubcar.

The fox went into the forest, found the wolf, and said to the wolf:

agurcab kːurtːa wac'acːe, barčːibcab bec', bec'licːe bik'ulcab.

“Dawaj, we will go skating, I know a good place.“

dawaj daxanda qusdik'ʷij, dam ʡaˁħ musːa balχad.

The wolf agreed, “We will go“, it said, and they go to this place, to the skating place.

bec' razi biχubcab, daxanda bik'ulcab i kabeʁibcab hel musːa, qusbik'ʷan musːa.

The fox said, “First I sit down in front and you behind, one time, then we will change.“

kːurtːa bik'ulcab, bahsar du kabirganda, u hila hitːi kabiže; cajna c'il dars dirχʷanda, bik'ulcab.

The wolf agreed, “Good“, and the fox sat down in front like this, and the wolf behind, and they skated one time.

bec' bik'ulcab ʡaˁħle, i kːurtːa car kabižibcab bec' hitːi helitːe quskabižibcab cajna.

Then, the second time, “Now“, the fox says to the wolf, “you sit down in front, and I behind.“

c'il k'ʷinalalij hana bik'ulcab, u sala kabiže, bec'licːe; du hila kabirganda, bik'ulcab kːurtːa.

“Good“, says the wolf, and like this they skated a bit.

ʡaˁħle bik'ulcab i helitːe qus kabižibcab q'ʷila.

Then the fox peed behind the wolf and the wolf was glued onto the ice.

c'il kːurtːal bec'li hara dacːi hitːi darq'ibcad bec'legu guagurre čikabasːuncab miglij.

Then when the wolf was attached to the ice, the fox began to shout.

c'il hel čikabasːunqːel waˁwbik'ul baʔašːibcab kːurtːa.

“Fork, spade, qixunaj! Fork, spade, qixunaj!“, then Patima ran there, she showed up there carrying a fork and a spade.

kːaza k'at'a qixːunaj, kːaza k'at'a qixːunaj, c'il helka duc'rik'ul tːura ričibcar Pat'ima, kːaza k'at'ara haqːible.

And both began to beat the wolf and killed him, the cut the wolf's belly and took (the sisters) outside.

i k'ʷelra paˁqbik'ul helij, bebč'aqibcab bec'; k'ult'a qaˁškaʁible tːura haqːibcab... cinna rucbe.

They were happy, and embraced each other, and kissed.

razi biχuble qaˁblus bilkun misupːal lukːunne.

and went home, took the fox with them, and fed him well.

agurcab qili kːurtːa berčibcab ʡaˁħle baχːuncab.

Then in the evening they made a bed for it in the barn.

c'il daˁrχaˁ deʁibqːel ilij burušra gubarq'ibcab durqaˁ kabisːanaj.

Then when they laid down to sleep, the fox said, “For me they made a bed from herbs and grass, and for themselves they probably took cotton wool.''

c'il kabisːunqːel bik'ulcab kːurtːa, damq'ar bik'ulcab nekʷla buruš barq'ib, a čula baˁmbagla burkːar.

Like this it ended; thanks to the listeners.

helitːe haberχːur; barkalla gulik'untaj.
