Mbuti, Mbyana na Homu avari vanghana lavankulu. Siku rinwani vateke rendzo hi xibazana.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Kute loko vafika laha rendzo ravona rihelelaka kona, muchayeri ukomberile leswaku vahakela mali yavona. Homu uve ahakela mali yayena.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Mbyana uve ahakela mali yohindzisa hikuva anga khomangi mali leyi ayi laveka.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Muchayeri alava kunyiketa Mbyana cici yayena loko Mbuti a suka a tsutsuma angasi hakela nchumu.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Muchayeri a hlundzukile swinene. Uve a chayela xibazani anga nyikangi Mbyana cici yayena.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Hikokwalaho na namutlha, Mbyana a tsutsumela movheni kuya hlometela a ndzeni naswona ukuma muchayeri loyi a nwi kolotaka cici yayena.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Mbuti wa tsutsuma loko atwa mpfumawulo wa movha. Uchava leswaku uta khomiwa hikuva anga hakelangi mali yayena ya rendzo.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Kambe Homu angana xiphiqo loko movha wuri nkarhi wu ta. Homu uteka nkarhi wayena loko a tsemekanya patu hikuva u hakele mali yayena yihelerile.
And Cow is not
bothered when a car is
coming. Cow takes her
time crossing the road
because she knows she
paid her fare in full.
