Wambusi, Wambwa, ni
Waŋombe baali

Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Niboola hu njagamo
y’olugendo
lwawe,Dereefa
gabasunga ohusasula
ebbesa ej’olugendo
lwawe.
Waŋombe gasasula
ebbeesa jije.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Wambwa gasasula
ejibitamo ŋadidiri
olw’ohutaba n’ebbeesa
eswanire erala.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Derefa aba kogenda
huŋa Wambwa bbalansi
wuwe,Wambusi nga
aduluma aŋawula
husasula hiitu hyosi .
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Dereefa galuŋa bugali.
Gafuga gatiina
nataŋaaye Wambwa
bbalansi wuwe.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Ehyo cehigima na
hatyane Wambwa
adulumiriranga ena
motoka. Aba alegeesa
mugati ohufaania
Derefa owamulyaha
bbalansi wuwe.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Hisi Wambusi
olwaŋulira ohululuma
hwe motoka,
gedulumira. Aba atya
ohumuŋamba.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ne Waŋombe safayo
emotoka niyiija.
Gehumbira n’asala
oluguudo. Amanyire ati
gasasula ebbeesa
j’olugendo bbechwi!
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.
