  • Mopán Maya: “She said to him, That is right, teacher. But me, I am like a little dog and the people of Israel are like a little child. When the child is eating, the crumbs fall and the little dog picks them up. Therefore help me a little bit.” (Source: B. Moore / G. Turner in Notes on Translation 1967, p. 1ff.)
