A rather belated version in Rihana-ye:
Fisa-te, *fabate he-*fekomi digifa vejofa-fe wicho, by vejofa *fisaleva-i

Hill-on, wool-notproducing sheep horses saw, one horse heavy cart pulling

NOTE: digifa is the term for sheep as a meat animal, which fits the point of
the story.
A sheep kept for wool would be fabatefa.
