4 If pesin kill anoda pesin by mistake, without sey dem kworel or dey fight before, di pesin fit run go any of di town go stay. 5 For ezample, may bi pesin go forest with en neighbour go kut wood. Den one of dem kon karry di axe make e kut di tree and di axe head komot from di wood wey hold am kon kill di oda pesin. For dis matter, dat pesin wey kill di pesin fit run go one of dis towns and e go dey save. 6 Bikos if di town too far for am, before e go run rish der, di pesin wey dey vex sey dem kill en pesin fit porshu di pesin kon kill-am.
