Ilchoréta apá enkíne, oldía ó enkíténg. Óre enkolóng nabô népuo páran te engárrî.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Óre peê ebayá, néjokí oláréwání lé engárri peê élâk iropiyianí enyê. Nélak enkíteng inenyéna.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Nélak oldía aitulusoó, amû meáta esíáná oó iropiyianí naáíririkíno.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Néjo oláréwání áshúkóki oldía iropiyianí enyéna naátelekutúa, nédol enkíné peê eisík aló éítû élâk.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Négoro naléng oláréwání. Néreu engárri aló éítû eshukokí oldía iropiyianí enyéna naáshukokíno.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Náa ínâ peê óre o táatá kémir oldía engárri aing’orú olaréwani leitú éíshô iropiyianí enyéna naáshukúnye.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Néísik enkíne tenéning engárri nalotú. Kéuré ajó kéíbung’í amû eitú élâk iropiyianí enyéna.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Néméírut nínye enkíteng tenéning engárri nalotú. Kédeenyári tenélang enkóítói. Kéyíólo ajó étáláá iropiyianí enyéna te lulúng’ata.
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.
