Tjana wankangi palkapitiku wankangku ngayulu itaranga unngu nyinanyi ka patiny patinypaku wangkangu ngayulu tjampingka nyinanyi ka tjintjilkaku wankangu uwa ngayulu pitingka nyinapai. This is the moth called palkatiji and the snake-lizard called patiny-patinypa and the lizard called tjintjilka. They are talking amongst themselves and the palkapiti says "I'll live in a tree" and the snake lizard says "I'll live in the spinifex" and the lizard says "I'll live in a hole in the ground".
