"எங்கள் தந்தையே! நாங்கள் யூஸுஃபை எங்களுடைய சாமான்களிடத்தில் விட்டுவிட்டு, ஓடி(யாடி விளையாடிக் கொண்டே வெகுதூரம்) சென்று விட்டோம்; அப்போது ஓநாய் அவரை(ப் பிடித்துத்) தின்று விட்டது - ஆனால் நாங்கள் உண்மையே சொன்ன போதிலும், நீங்கள் எங்களை நம்பவே மாட்டீர்கள்!" என்று கூறினார்கள்.

‘අපගේ පියාණනි! නියත වශයෙන් ම අපි ගොස් තරඟ වැදුනෙමු. අපගේ භාණ්ඩ සමඟ යූසුෆ්ව ද අත හැර දැමුවෙමු. එවිට වෘකයා ඔහුව කා දැමී ය. අපි සත්‍යවාදීන්ව සිටිය ද ඔබ අපව විශ්වාස කරන්නකු නො වනු ඇතැයි’ ඔවුහු පැවසුවෝ ය.
