Gweno kodi Ongongolo oyido mere. To oyido ju tere pyemo gi achieli kwong jo. Ndelo achieli ju yiko tuko mupira nyaka juneni jatuko maberi.
Chicken and Millipede were friends. But they were always competing with each other. One day they decided to play football to see who the best player was.
Jukadho ikisawe toju chako tuko pajo. Gweno oyido ni piyopiyo to Ongongolo oyido nipiyo swa. Gweno ogeyo mupira bori to Ongongolo ogweyo bori swa. Gweno to chako winjo nywowiroki.
They went to the football field and started their game. Chicken was fast, but Millipede was faster. Chicken kicked far, but Millipede kicked further. Chicken started to feel grumpy.
Juyiko tuko makitewa neno ngata oloyi. Ongongolo obedo jamaki gole. Gweno otewa gole achieli. Nyo totundo sawa pa Gweno ma makuro gole
They decided to play a penalty shoot-out. First Millipede was goal keeper. Chicken scored only one goal. Then it was the chicken’s turn to defend the goal.
Millipede kicked the ball and scored.
Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.
Gweno omako nge ni go ofiriwa. Go oyido obedo jakifiriwa marachi swa. Ongongolo ochako nyero rupiri mere pere oyido timo ginyero.
Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
Gweno omako nge to yawo dhoke malachi swa to mwonyo Ongongolo.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Munyo Gweno oyido doki pecho, go oromo gi yoki Ongongolo. Yoki Ongongolo openjo ni ineno ye nyathi parani? Gweno ku wacho gimoro jye. Yoki Ongongolo obedo gi rembo.
As Chicken was walking home, she met Mother Millipede. Mother Millipede asked, “Have you seen my child?” Chicken didn’t say anything.
Mother Millipede was worried.
Nyaka to yoki Ongongolo winjo dwondo jo mathini. Konyani Mama dwondi jo oywaki. Yoki Ongongolo ongiyo thubongi go to winjo gi kikangasa swa. Dwondi jo owoki iyii Gweno.
Then Mother Millipede heard a tiny voice. “Help me mom!” cried the voice. Mother Millipede looked around and listened carefully. The voice came from inside the chicken.
Yoki Ongongolo okoko, ori meni perini ma were omiyini nyathi paran! Ongongolo nyalo wotho ngweche marachi swa makibilere.Gweno ochako kichiroki pa two.
Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.
Gweno ochukere. Nyaka to mwonyo gi ngulo. Nyaka to jiro gi wolo. Munyo owolo Ongongolo ochali pa oyido kimiti.
Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!
Gweno owolo nyuka owolo woko Ongongolo iyii go. Yoki Ongongolo gi nyathi pere jurweta malo iwi yathi pondo.
Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.
Woki isawa no, Gwendi kodi Ongongolini jubedo jukwori.
From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.
