Shimpendje, Mbwa naNgombe kwa kalire vaholi vavanene. Liyuva limwe ava kara naruyendo mushihauto.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Opo va ka tikire kuuhura waruyendo rwavo, mushingi ava pura vafute mfuto yavo. Ngombe ayi futu mfuto yayo.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Mbwa ayi wede ko nka kumfuto, mukondashi kapi a kalire namaliva ghakuwapa kufuta.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Mushingi hambara a pe Mbwa tjindi yayo makura Shimpendje ashi duka sha hana kufuta ko vyangandi.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Mushingi a garapa unene. A shingi aka yende a hana kupa Mbwa tjindi yayo.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Mbyo vya karera, nampiri lyanamuntji lino, Mbwa kudukira kulihauto yika nokere munda mposhi ndi yi wane mushingi unya ayi koroto tjindji yayo.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Shimpendje shasho kuduka shitjire mushagharo walihauto. Shasho ghoma ashi kuvashikwata mukonda yakudira kufuta mfuto yasho.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ano Ngombe yayo nashinka ko shi nangeshi shihauto kuna kuya. Ngombe yayo kukughora kuvindakana shitaura mukondashi yayo yaviviya ashi yafutire mfuto yayo nayintje.
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.
