Backtranslation
While we were writing, we were burning wood and the fire pleased me. But while we were watching it, we slept. While me and my friends were talking, we burned six matches. After that we remained and did not walk. We wanted to sleep. Because of our desire of sleep, I told my translator: ‘Imaritupi, you are our best friend. Since we remained here for six hours, let’s find each other in the white valley hopefully tomorrow.
