Diu Iris a Myrtila:
–Oh, amiga, jo no sé!...
Tants obercocs hi deixes
damunt l’obercoquer?

–Oh, Iris, prou m’agrada
menjar-ne a torbellins
i sentir l’or alegre
com raja boca endins.

Mes arriba el mal temps
i prop del flam furient,
jo sento en la teulada
dansar teules i vent,

i em plau quan nostra mare,
veient-nos entristits
i com freguem els nassos
i com bufem els dits,

ens dugui riolera,
quan cau la neu a flocs,
un pot amb confitures
de préssecs o obercocs.
