Now what am I going to tell you?

00:00:02,920 –> 00:00:07,366

When I went to school,

00:00:07,366 –> 00:00:14,440
naho, ischoba ayakha̱ bus-ka itwaachilkatok, mon tabatkat amailkahchoolikan.
we waited to catch the bus near the church.

00:00:14,440 –> 00:00:16,806

Sometimes

5
00:00:16,806 –> 00:00:22,110

we were lazy to go to school

6
00:00:22,110 –> 00:00:24,080
kommattatoofookon,
and missed the bus,

7
00:00:24,080 –> 00:00:29,338
thoyohkat onthaap school teachak excuse-koot staslalao̱ kaahatoofookon,
and the teacher had told us to bring an excuse when we went back

8
00:00:29,338 –> 00:00:32,013
inchaahilaitik, kosobaikookok,
and we didn’t know how to write one

9
00:00:32,013 –> 00:00:39,980
Iwanak aayahchok ommin, mook school-kak, mon waachit nahotilkahchoolik,
so we waited on Iwana, because she went to school, too,

10
00:00:39,980 –> 00:00:42,099
excuse-ka̱ kominchaalaahi̱.
so she could write us an excuse.

11
00:00:42,099 –> 00:00:47,500
Mootohon excuse-ka̱ kominchaaliifookon, immailkaafookon, kominchaliif[ookon],
We would ask her and she would write an excuse for us

12
00:00:47,500 –> 00:00:51,960
stosaffit maskonkaafookon, stilihokfitok,
and we would put it in our pockets

13
00:00:51,960 –> 00:00:53,814
school teacha̱ osti̱hilkahchoolik.
and bring it to the teacher.

14
00:00:53,814 –> 00:00:56,520
Kaamiifookon school teachak hiichaak,
The school teacher would look at it

15
00:00:56,520 –> 00:01:03,600
“Chimmaama, hinaap, in-handwriting-kotok kanomaamin inchaal” kaahat, nahohchoolik,
and tell us, “Your mom has beautiful handwriting,”

16
00:01:03,610 –> 00:01:07,440
katik, kommaamap sobaikohchi̱ inchaakamook,
but our mom didn’t know how to write,

17
00:01:07,440 –> 00:01:12,674
kaamis, Iwanak kominchaaliifookon, akkaamin istilkahchoolik.
so it was always Iwana writing for us.

18
00:01:12,674 –> 00:01:18,400
Naksok immattaap, mon waachiinannahchoolik, Iwana maththon.
Whoever missed school would always wait for Iwana. That’s it.

19
00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:23,940

00:01:23,950 –> 00:01:26,920
Kaamoosin ostamanook.
That’s it. That’s the end of my story.
