Embene, Embwa n’Ende syabya sinywani. Kiro kighuma mubaghenda omwalhughendo omwa takisi.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Syabere syahika okwa mwiso w’olhughendo, omufughi w’etakisi mwasaba esyambulho sy’olhughendo. Iya w’ande mwasasura esyambulho siwe.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Iya w’ambwa mwasasura nene kusangwa syabya awithe esihingisirye.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Neryo omufughi abere akasonda eriha w’ambwa yesiwe abirihingisya, w’ambene mwayisumba, amathibitha isyalyathuha.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Neryo omufughi mwahithana. Mwafugha amaghenda isyalyasubulirya w’ambwa esyambulho siwe.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Kyekikaleka bulikiro embwa yikathibitha okwa matoka yikalebya omwakathi ngayanalhangira omufughi wathibitha n’esyambulho syayo.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
W’ambene akabya akowa omuhumo we kiruka kyosikyosi, akathibitha. W’ambene akakwa obuba athi anganahambwa inyahiribwa omwithonga kusangwa mwathaliha esyombulho sy’olhughendo.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Nikwa ibwa iyo’ende syalitsomana nimu’angowa omuhumo w’emotoka. Ende yikakyiruka enzira iyinahumulikene kusangwa muyasasura olhughendo lwayo omwa buswire.
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.
