Wel yayaka gon dennek kaka uni
In ekkenek walgaya natuwa wani wani
Walgaya athi eka massanta bata duni
Duppath kamath walgaya nathi gona meni.
In a paddy field two bulls were grazing
One of them didn't have a tail, and, was staggering
The one with a tail chased the flies away (using his tail)
So, to be poor is as much the same as the bull without a tail! (helpless).
