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.
Sai suka shiga filin ƙwallon ƙafar

kaza ta fara hassala.
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.

gida. Da farko shanshani ita ce mai
tsaron gida wato gola kenan. Kaza

Sai aka juya, kaza ta zama ma gola
mai tsaron gida.
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.
Shanshani ta harba ƙwallo, kuma ta
saka a raga. Shanshani tana
gwaninta kuma tana saka ƙwallon.
Shanshani ta saka ƙwallon har da
kai. Shanshani ta saka ƙwallon biyar.
Millipede kicked the ball and scored.
Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.
Kaza ta hassala da rishin nasarar da

Shanshani ta yi ta dariya saboba

Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
Sai kaza ta buɗe babban bakinta ta
haɗiye shanshanin.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Lokacin da kaza tana shigowa gida,
sai ta gamu da uwar shanshani. Sai
ta ce mata, “ba ki ga ɗiyata ba?”
Kaza ba ta amsa mata ba. Uwar

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.
Sai uwar shanshani take ji wata

faɗi.
Uwar shanshani ta dubu kewayenta
da kyau. Muryar nan da cikin kaza

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.
Uwar shanshanin ta yi ihu “Ki yi
amfani da duk azirinki ɗiyata!”
Shanshani ta saki wani wari. Sai
kaza ta fara jin wani ciwon ciki.
Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.
Kaza ta yi gyatsa. Kuma ta yi kaki.
Ta yi attishewa kuma take ta tari,
take tari. Shanshani bai ciyuwa!
Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!
Kaza ta yi ta tari sai ta kako
shanshanin da yake cikin cikinta.
Shanshanin da uwar sun tafi sun
ɓoye cikin wani icce.
Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.
Tun daka shi kaza da shanshani ba
su shiri.
From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.
