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.
