Podi, Ntšwa le Kgomo e
ne e ne ditsala tse
dikgolo. Ka letsatsi
lengwe ba ne ba tsaya
loeto ka tekisi.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Erile fa ba goroga
mokgweetsi wa tekesi a
kopa gore ba duele.
Kgomo o ile a duela.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Ntšwa ena o ile a duela
go feta, ka gonne a ne
a sena madi a a
lekaneng.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Fa mokgweetsi a re o fa
Ntšwa madi a mannye a
gagwe, Podi ena o ne a
tshaba ntle le go duela.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Mokgweetsi ka go
tenega o ne a tsamaya
ntle le go busetsa
Ntšwa madi a gagwe.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Ke ntlha eo le
gompieno, Ntšwa ka
metlha o tabogela koloi.
O be a ya go lebelela
gore a a ka se bone
mokgweetsi o a mo
kolotang.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Podi ena ka gale o
tshaba modumo wa
koloi. O tshaba gore o
tla tshwarwa ka a sa
duela madi a tekesi.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Kgomo ena ga a
tlhomphe dikoloi. O
tsaya nako ya gagwe go
feta mo tseleleng ka
gonne a itse gore o
duetse tekesi.
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.
