Kuhu ni Likondondo nele balikani kono nabalata kukanganisana. Balaha mbola yamautu katakazo yabona kubona kuli kimani caziba mwa papali ya mbola ya mautu.
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.
Baya kwa mabapalelo yam bola ya mautu. Kuhu neyina nibube kono neisa fiti bubebe bwa kuhu. Kuhu ya laha mbola kwa hule kono Likondondo lalaha mbola kakufitelela kuhu.
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.
Balumelelana kulaha mbola yafa pata yamu swali wa mbola mane kuhu yanwisa iling’wi mbola mi yafita nako ya Likondondo kuli ilahe mbola.
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.
Likondondo la nwisa mbola. Likondondo nelinyunyize niku. Likondondo nelilengile mbola ni toho nikunwisa. Likondondo nelinwisize limbola zeketa lizoho.
Millipede kicked the ball and scored.
Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.
Kuhu neinyemile kunwa. Neli lisafa kakunwa mwapapali ya mbola. Likondondo naswelwi kilisheya bakeng’isa litongoko za kuhu.
Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
Kuhu yafilikana haulu nikumiza likondondo.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Kuhu aneikuta kwandu yakopana ni maye likondondo mane bomae likondondo babuza kuhu kuli asikabona mwanake? Kuhu yakuza mi Mae likondondo labilaezwa kukuza kwa kuhu.
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.
Mahe Likondondo autwa linzwi lamakutela bukaufi inge likupa tuso kubomalona. Mae Likondondo aitemauna kuli autwisise. Linzwi lautwalela mwa kuhu.
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.
Mae likondondo abonka ali belekisa maata abundume mwanake! Likondondo lakona kununka maswe ni kusa tabusa. Mi kuhu yakala kusaikutwa hande.
Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.
Kuhu yaipupumuna, yamiza ni kukwa. Yaitishumuna ni kuhotola bakeng’isa munyembu wa likondondo lenelimizizwe.
Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!
Kuhu yahotola kahotoliso nikukwa likondondo leneli mizizwe. Mae likondondo ni mwana hae ba hohobela kwa kota kuyoyi pata.
Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.
Kuzwa nako yeo, kuhu nili kondondo baba lila.
From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.
