Now, I'm just a newbie, but I'll try my hand at it:

ca co'a zasti fa le da'asnu be ga le nu lo cecmu cu pilno lo jecta sidju le du'u le sivnu bo kagni vlipa ku cu sidju stali ra'a le gundi gi le nu lo cecmu cu djica cuxna le si'o selzi'e kei ra'a le gundi .i le no'i da'asnu cu na cumki rivbi to ku'i ju'oru'e le so'e prenu poi mi djuno ke'a cu rivbi le go'i toi

So how'd I do? Lots of tanru--which probably isn't a good idea. I also used some grammar I'm not sure is permissible. mu'a the "na" in "na cumki rivbi" which is intended to mean "is not-possible escape" just in case I screwed up.
