    װײסט איר, װוּ מיר שפּאַרן אָן? אַזש אין בראָד! איך מײן, אַז
מיר זײַנען שױן נאָענט צו אַמעריקע. אַ שײנע שטאָט אָט דאָס בראָד!
ס'איז גאָרניט די שטאָט, די גאַסן, די מענטשן, װאָס בײַ אונדז. אַפֿילו

דאָס. ס'איז גאָרניט דאָס, װאָס בײַ אונדז. דאָס הײסט, די װערטער
זײַנען די אײגענע װערטער, װאָס בײַ אונדז, נאָר מיט פּתחן. למשל: „װאָס“
איז „װאַס“, „דאָס“ איז „דאַס“, „שלאָפֿן“ איז „שלאַפֿן“, „ברױט“ איז
„ברײַט“, „פֿלײש“ איז „פֿלײַש“, „מאיר“ איז „מײַער“, אַ „בהמה“ איז
„בעהײַמע“, אַ „שײגעץ“ איז „שײַגעץ“, „מילך“ איז „מעלך“, „ליכט“
איז „לעכט“, אַ „ייִד“ איז אַ „יאַיד“, אַ „ייִדענע“ ― אַ „יאַידענע“,
„קינד“ איז „קונד“, אַ „טינטערל“ איז אַ „טונטירל“, אַ „ציבעלע“ איז
אַ „צײבעלע“, אַ „סירניקל“ ― אַ „שװיבעלע“. הײַנט דאָס רײדן זײערס!
אַז זײ רײדן, זינגען זײ. עס קומט אױס גלײַך, װי זײ װאָלטן שטענדיק
מעבֿיר געװען די סדרה. מיר האָבן באַלד געכאַפּט דעם שניט. דער
ערשטער איז געװען אונדזער חבֿר פּיניע. ער האָט אָנגעהױבן רײדן דײַטש
כּמעט פֿונעם ערשטן טאָג, װאָס מיר זײַנען געקומען. אים איז געװען
גרינגער, װײַל דײַטש האָט ער געלערנט נאָך אין דער הײם. מײַז ברודער
