Leyve Jonny,

Dey daar woyrd' sünd mi tou voer ny nich in the moyt kamen.

Voer _schmeicheln_ woyrd' ik "na 't muul snakken" or "honnig üm 't muul 
smeyren" seggen, voer _fragwürdig_ sachs so wat as "an twyweln", "as 
twywelhaft an-kyken", "nich rayn weg gloyven" ...

Kumpel-menten,
Reinhard/Ron

NEWS ;-)!
