Sikombo, Simbwa ntani Ngombe kwa kere noukwawo wounene. Ezuva limwe kwa kere norugendo rwemetuwa.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Apa va ka sikire oku va tembe, musingi kwa va pulire mfuto zawo. Ngombe yipo za futire mfuto zazo.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Simbwa yipo sa futire mfuto zokupitakanena, morwa kudira kukara noyimaliwa yokugwanena.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Musingi kwa here kugava tjindji zoSimbwa, nye Sikombo tasi duka mo metuwa sa ha na kugava mfuto zaso.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Musingi kwa handukire. Yipo ga singire a ka ze ga ha na kugava tjindji zoSimbwa.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Yiyo nye ya karera asi nampili ngesi Simbwa kudukira ketuwa si nokere monda mokupapara musingi ogu ga kara notjindji zaso.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Sikombo kuduka nsene tasi zuvhu muhagaro getuwa. Sina kara noutjirwe asi tava si kwata, morwa kapi sa futire mfuto zaso ketuwa.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ngombe kapi azi kara nosinka nsene etuwa kuna kuwiza. Azo kutaguruka sitaura nosiruwo sazo, morwa azo za futire mfuto zazo mokuzulilira.
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.
