...ထိးယူၤတသ့ဘၣ်!
... pigs can't fly!
ထွံၣ်ဂဲၤကလံၥ်တသ့ဘၣ်,တၢၢ်ဖးလံၥ်တသ့ဘၣ်,စိးဝးဃးသးဝံၣ်တၢ်တသ့ဘၣ်...
Dogs can’t dance, ants can’t read, crows can’t sing...
တၤအုးဖီအီၣ်တၢ်တသ့ဘၣ်!
... monkeys can't cook!
ဘၣ်ဆၣ်, တၤအုးထိၣ်လီၤသဲ ပီၢ်သ့ၣ်ဒ့သ့!

Pigs can eat, fish can swim, cats can jump... and I can read!
