I want to tell you. You, children of today, we don't see the place where Litrapong lives, but I have seen it with my own eyes and I went into it and was there on the edge of it.

107-001 Amuurin na kanrik mus ki- . Akam , teesa , teesa ni mees , utap lek esan kin Litrapog itkos mau , me kineu aleka ki namtak , go asilwes , apan to natkin .

Litrapong, the place I want to tell about, because today we go there

§ 107-002 Litrapog , esan kin amuurin na katli nlaken mees teesa akam uto pa .

We go, but we don't see Litrapog's cave. I have seen it with my own eyes which is why I want to talk to you about it.

§ 107-003 Uto pan me uta lek erfale ni Litrapog mau . Kineu aleka ki namtak , ipi nlaken amuurin kanrik mus ki .

One day I came to Erakor, I went to look for coconut crabs. The place that I got to was overgrown with the hibiscus, I couldn't get through.

§ 107-004 Naliati iskei kaipe mai to Erakor to , kin me apo pa ana kalel aas . Go san kin apakes pa , naplel rutmer tfagir , tefla , akano nraf .

I went and saw that coconut crabs were there, big ones like I had never seen before.

§ 107-005 Apan alek aas rutu , aas p̃afp̃of nen kin atap leka tete nrak mau .

But I went on to Erakor.

§ 107-006 Me ato Erakor pa .

When I went, I took coconut crabs and bound them and I cut through the bush, I kept going,

§ 107-007 Malen apan pan pan , atu sol aas pan kaimotir panpanpan inom , me ato nraf , ato nraf pa .

It might have been my will but I think it was Litrapong who made me look into her cave.

§ 107-008 Ilakor pi , namroan neu kipi tefla , amrokin ilakor pi Litrapog kin ipregi nen kalek nfalen .

Then I went and jumped, I jumped into this cave.

§ 107-009 Malen apan panpanpan na asook , asooki erfale ne .

I looked around, I saw the two 'policemen' at the door.

§ 107-010 Ale tefla , alek polisman ga kin ratu nmet .

Litrapong was there at the end of the cave. I saw the police standing there.

§ 107-011 Me Litrapog ipato ito mp̃ag na , nfal faat . Alek polis kin rateflan tu .

These police were called Tap̃ar and Nrotik.

§ 107-012 Polis ne rusoso ki Tap̃ar go Nrotik .

As I went I said, "Oh, but today I have come out here, I'm going to have a good look around at them."

§ 107-013 Malen kin apa , ana , " O me mees kaipe mai paakor esa , kafo pan lesoksokir ".

That's why I broke the bush until I got in and looked around. What I did, first, I prayed. I prayed and prayed until it was finished.

§ 107-014 Ipi nlaken apo nraf panpanpan apan pato me ato leka . Apei- , tenen apregi , apei lot . Alot panpan na inom .

Then I went I slowly went and looked until I finished. I returned and took coconut crabs to the sea, at Epakor, to go by canoe. Then I came to Erakor.

§ 107-015 Kin me apo pa , amailum pan to m̃aak leka , panpanpanpan inom . Aler mai na asol aas kaimai pak elau Epakor , na asaiki raru , Kin po mai pak Erakor .§

That's the end of my story, thank you.
