      De va en gang de kåmm en mainn
      med en hainnhoinn i et bainn i eine hainna,

      Once, there came a man
      having in his one hand a male dog wearing a collar,
      and in his other hand he held something
      what clucked a little bit,
      and apparently was a bucket
      which he has found (when looking) in the beach sand.
