Kabri, Lisien, ek Vas ti bann extra bon kamarad. Enn zour, zot ti fer enn vwayaz dan taxi.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Kan zot finn ariv lafin zot destination, sofer-la finn dir zot peye. Vas finn pey so traze.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Lisien finn pey inpe anplis akoz li pa ti ena kas sanze.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Sofer-la ti pe al donn lisien so kas kan kabri inn ale san peye.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Sofer-la ti bien ankoler. Li’nn ale san retourn Lisien so kas.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Akoz samem azordi, Lisien galoup deryer loto pou louk andan e rod sofer ki ti dwa li kas la.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Kabri sove kan li tann loto pase. Li gagn per ki aret li parski li pa’nn pey so traze.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ek Vas pa ti pe pran kont kan loto vini. Vas pran so letan pou travers sime parski li kone li’nn pey so traze net.
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.
