Miweku lɛ hi Tellancourt, ni ji akrowa ko ni yɔɔ France kooyi-bokagbɛ lɛ mli. Mipapa jɛ France, ni mimami jɛ Italy. Be ni miye afii kpaanyɔ lɛ, wɔweku lɛ fã kɛyahi maŋ bibioo ko nɔ yɛ Rome, yɛ Italy.

Be ni miye afii 16 lɛ, mika akɛ magbe mihe ni minu whiskey tɔ kome ni mitu migbee faa ko mli. Mipila ni nɔ nyɔ minɔ gbii etɛ.

Mihiɛ sɔ wala mli ni miyɔɔ lɛ, shi mibatsɔ mɔ ko ni yi wa ni shishiuɔ mɛi.

Dani mashi lɛ, miyasara mimami, ni miyana nuu ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Annunziato Lugarà ni ekɛ lɛ miigba Biblia lɛ he sane; enɛ hã mihiɛ fee mi yaa fioo. * Akɛni mile lɛ akɛ eji awuiyelɔ hewɔ lɛ, mishe gbeyei fioo, ni mibi lɛ nɔ ni eba feemɔ yɛ jɛmɛ.
