Imbuzi, inja nekomo bezibangana abakhulu. Ngelinye ilanga bathatha ikhambo ngeteksi.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Kuthe nasele bafikile lapha ekade baya khona, umtjhayeli weteksi wababawa bonyana babhadale imali yesikhwelo iteksi. Ikomo yona yabhadala.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Inja yona yabhadala imadlana encani ngombana beyiphethe imali etjhodako.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Kuthe umtjhayeli afuna ukunikela inja itjhentji, imbuzi nakuya idla phasi iyabaleka.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Umtjhayeli wasilingeka bese wakhamba azange asanikela inja itjhentjhi yakhe.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Ngikho nanamhlanje inja igijimisa ikoloyi nayikhambako ngoba ifuna umtjhayeli ayinikele itjhentji yayo eyikolodako.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Bese kuthi iimbuzi zibalekela zisaba itjhada leenkoloyi ngombana zisaba ukuthi zizokubanjwa ngomabana azange zabhadala ziyakoloda.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ngikho nje ikomo yona ayinandaba nayeqa indlela, ithatha isikhathi sayo ngombana iyazi ukobana yona ayikolodi muntu.
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.
