Exercise XXVI.

Why are you at variance with John?—Because he always finds faults with every thing he sees—What does that mean?—That means that I do not like to speak with you, because you are a liar—Do you wish to know why did not write your brother his exercise?—Because it was too difficult—He has sat up all night and has not been able to do it, because it was out of his reach (cay canang tema dili mahimo nia)—As soon as (igo) Peter sees me, he begins to speak Bisaya, in order to practise, (sa pagsumay-sumay) and overwhelms me with attentions; so that I often do not know what to answer. —His brothers do the same, however, (bisan pa niana) they are very good people—They are not only rich and amiable, but they are also generous and charitable.—They love me sincerely; therefore (busa) I love them also, and shall never say any thing against their reputation, I should love them still more (dacó pa ngani unta ang paghigugma co canila) if they did not make so much ceremony; but every man has his faults, aid my fault is to speak too much of their compliments.
