Orthographic text

(someone is sick we wash them with water, give them feed and they stay. they'll get better. if there is thinking we'll see it, they'll say their confession. our ancestors did it badly, they washed in the river, now we don't. if we say our thinking right we'll get better. if their strength goes down we'll kill a pig and they'll get better. we put our thinking and samuel got better and afterwards we met with the family, if we put the right thinking people get better)
