I really hate dogs, I don’t want them.

But cats come around.

9 (GK) i òt gi mràziš tìja psètata

And why do you hate these dogs?

No [reason to like them]! They’ve got a lot of fleas.

A lot.

But they (fleas) don’t move onto people.

14 (a) nè tè tùka tè èno èno è pàk e tè ležì

No, but here – hey, there! There’s one lying over there!

His owner went off somewhere else to work and left him totally alone.

Nobody gives him bread or anything [at all]. Wherever he goes, it’s the same.

He just [sits] here and scratches.

And if you step where he’s scratched, a flea finds you right off.

21 (a) tè tovà tè sèko go gòni lèp mu ne dàva nìkoj

And that’s [how it is]. Everyone chases him off, nobody gives him any bread.

One wonders how he can still be alive.
