[On a hill,] a sheep that had no wool saw horses;

one of them pulling a heavy wagon,

one carrying a big load,

and one carrying a man quickly.

The sheep said to the horses:

"My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses."

The horses said:

"Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this:

a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool."

Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.

Il þali lóð hifur sleið sauf sýrar;

sófið ast hifta jǫlg,

nárið ast hirfa nall,

Hifur armið il sýrar:

"nei líf ilmið ni, lámann ínur kyðann sýrar."

Sýrar armiðar:

"Sóma, hifur: neif lífar na ilmiðar, skar lánar eg:

ínur, ból, fólið þei kifri sauf láfri. Vi hifur sleið sauf."

Sómann eg, hifur jǫrfi arfið.
