Bi jahweder hors weron twen jonga sekmpar nd twen jonga hrutar mith rika kladarum klath nd jeld in hiara bdar. evin as er Hetto nei Kattaburch skikte, skikter Bruno, tht is brne, thene othera svjaring nei Mannagrda wrda, Mannagrda wrda is far in thit bok [88] Mannagrda forda skreven, men that is misden. Alle rikdoma ther hja mith hede wrdon nei omstand wei sknkt an tha forsta and forstene nd an tha utforkerne mangertne. Kemon tha sine knapa vppa there meid vmbe ther mith et jongkfolk to donsjane, sa leton hja kvra mith krdkok kvma nd brgum jeftha tonnum fon tha besta bjar. After thissa bodon let-er immer jongkfolk over tha Saxanarmarka fara, ther alle jeld inna budar hede nd alle meida jeftha sknkadja mith brochton, nd vppa there meid teradon hja alon vnkvmmerlik wei. Jef-t nv berde tht tha Saxana knapa ther nydich nei utsagon, thn lakton hja G.o.dlik nd seidon, aste thvrath thene mena fyand to bikmpane, sa knst thin breid jet ful riker meida jan nd jet forstelik tera.

Forth kethon hja, alrek Fryasbern is frydom jeven, sin stem hera to letane bi fara ther bisloten wrth bi t kjasa enre forste, men ast alsa wyd kvma machte tht i jo wither ne kning kjasa, sa wil ik ak min mene segse. Nei al hwat ik skoja mei, sa is Friso ther to thrvch Wr.alda keren, hwand hi heth im wonderlik hir hinne weiad.

Friso seith that-er nene prestera ner poppa forsta lyde ne mei, men ik seg, hi ne mei nimman lyda as him selva. Thervmbe nil hi navt ne daja tht thju burch Stavia wither vp hejath warth. Thervmbe wil hi nene Moder wer ha. Jud is Friso jow red jevar, men morne wil hi jow kning wertha, til thju hi over jo alle rjuchta mei. Inna bosm thes folk-is antstondon nw twa partyja.
