Au piyi andra Eliriga be agyii ni. Te yii andra abala bay ii ma eselea saaru. Odu azi alu muu mupira avi nezu adi ni mupira avi onyiru ndeni ri ya.
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.
Mu mupira pari aa ra, edo muipora avi. Au ma ongu ci te Eliriga ma ongu ndeni. Au ni mupira gbaa re te Eliriga ni mupira gbaa re ndeni. Au ma asi edo eca onzi.
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.
Asi di yo yii ma ogbaa penati ii. Oko ni Eliriga edo mupira bii goli ru ni. Au su lu mupira alu toko. Da vutia Au oja ii goli mupira bipiri ru.
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.
Eliriga gbaa miupira pasi mupira fi ra. Eliriga otruu mupira, su mupira ra. Eliriga sii mupira dri si mupira fi ra. Eliriga su mupira towi.
Millipede kicked the ball and scored.
Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.
Awoko nya Au ni saaru Eliriga ni ii nde ri si. Au leni andraa ba ma nde ii ku. Eliriga edo Au ni gu awoko ni ii ma agyi ni nyaleri si.
Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
Awoko nya Au ni saaru, zi ii ma ti ambu kii eliriga ni ii ma alea.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Au ni mu ria akua fuki dri Eliriga ma andri be. Eliriga ma andri nga Au ni zi “I nee ma mva ray a?” Au ovu ciri. Eliriga ma andri eca orate si.
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.
Eliriga ma andri eri oduko azini gaa ni “mama eko maa azaa fo!” One angu tit e oduko nde ri efu engazu Au ma alea.
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.
Eliriga ma andri tre okposi “Mi ayu mi ma ondua ndu ri!” Eliriga eco azaanga onzi ni ofu ra azini yi vini fe mi tile ni acu ra. Au eca azoru.
Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.
Au duu ti, kii ii ma alea, wii di amve. Coo omvu, gaa ekele, Eliriga ma aji ngu drinia azini tinia anzirikana ru!
Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!
Au ga ekele kpere eri ni Eliriga ni ega ria amve. Eliriga pi yii ii ma mva be gaa di pati sia yii zizu.
Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.
Edo zu odu da si kpere andru si Eliriga piyi Au be aribo ni.
From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.
