 The Twelve Months.—

The digits.—

大指拇　二指弟　中三娘　王夥契　身小巴兒子出不得氣

京竹椏 　苦竹椏 　對門對戶對親家 　親家兒子會跑馬 親家女會剪花 　大姊剪的靈芝草 　二姊剪的牡丹花 三姊剪不來 　丟下剪刀紡棉花 　紡了三丈三大哥 二哥縫件夏布衫 　三哥說我心不平 　把我嫁在高山苦竹林 要柴燒柴又高 　要水喫水又深 　打涇花鞋不當緊 打涇羅裙一千針 The green bamboo and the bitter bamboo Were intermarried relations living in opposite doors. The sons on one side were brave cavaliers
