Oshikombo, ombwa nongombe oya li ookuume aanene. Esiku limwe oya yi molweendo nokatekisa.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Sho ya thiki hoka ya li yu uka, omuhingi okwe ya pula ofuto. Ongombe oya futu omwaalu gwa gwana po.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Ombwa oya futu iimaliwa ya pitilila, oshoka kaya li yi na iimaliwa ya topoka.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Omuhingi okwa adhika andola a pe ombwa oshendja yayo, sho oshikombo otashi fadhuka po inaashi futa nando osha.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Omuhingi okwa uvu nayi, sho oshikombo inaashi futa. Okwa hingi e ta yi no inaa gandja we oshendja yombwa.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Okuza mpoka sigo onena ombwa ohayi tidha iihauto, opo yi tale ngele tayi mono mo omuhingi ngoka inee yi pa oshendja yayo.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Oshikombo ohashi fadhuka po shampa sha uvu omuumo gwoshihauto. Ohashi kala sha tila kutya pamwe otashi mangwa po sho inaashi futa olefa.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ongombe ihayi kala yi na ko nasha uuna tayi taaguluka opate. Nando otaku zi oshihauto ohayi ende nethimbo lyayo, oshoka anuwa yo oya futa nale ya mana.
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.
