Mbuzi, Galu ndi Ng’ombe anali mabwenzi kwambiri. Tsiku lina, anapita paulendo ndi galimoto.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Pamene anafika pothera pa ulendo wao, mtekenya anawafunsa kuti alipire ndalama. Ng’ombe inalipira yake.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Galu analipira ndalama yopitirirapo chifukwa analibe ndalama yoyenera.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Mtekenya anali pafupi kupatsa Galu cenji yake pamene mbuzi inathawa kopanda kulipira.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Mtekenya anakalipa kwambiri. Anayenda popanda kupatsa Galu chenji yake.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Ndiye cifukwa cake, ngakhale lero lomwe, Galu amathamangira galimoto kuona mkati ndi kupeza mtekenya amene ali ndi cenji yake.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Mbuzi imathawa ikamvera galimoto. Imaopa kuti angaimangidwe chifukwa siinalipire mtekenya.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ndipo Ng’ombe siimaikako nzelu ngati galimoto iri kubwela. Ng’ombe imayenda pang’ono pang’ono cifukwa idziwa kuti inalipira ndalama mokwana.
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.
