South Sudanese Person #1: Moneen!* How are you?
1: Yeah, I know how Yirol. But you are here now?
2: Yes, I am here. Last week we were at my relatives' place in Pigi County, but the rain really Torit up. I was sleeping and woke up with my Buthi under water! There was so much mud.
1: Wau, and your Buthi is mountainous. Could you move?
2: Thank you. But no, we were just stuck. I wasn't even moving. It was just a Bor.
1: How did you get out?
2: We got one of those vehicles, but still we almost lost Aweil.
1: But you are here now?
2: Yes, I am here.
1: Yei! You are most welcome.
2: Thank you. Say, have you ever heard of Ramciel?
1: Never.
2: Even me. But they're moving our capital there. What do you think?
