Inkoko na Magurijana bari inshuti. Ariko bahoraga barushanwa. Umunsi umwe biyemeje gukina umupira w’amaguru ngo barebe urusha undi.
Chicken and Millipede were friends. But they were always competing with each other. One day they decided to play football to see who the best player was.
They went to the football field and started their game. Chicken was fast, but Millipede was faster. Chicken kicked far, but Millipede kicked further. Chicken started to feel grumpy.
Noneho biyemeza gutera za penariti. Magurijana ni we wabanje mu izamu. Inkoko itsinda igitego kimwe gusa. Hanyuma Inkoko na yo iba igiye mu izamu.
They decided to play a penalty shoot-out. First Millipede was goal keeper. Chicken scored only one goal. Then it was the chicken’s turn to defend the goal.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Igihe Inkoko yatahaga, ihura na nyina wa Magurijana. Nyina wa Magurijana abaza Inkoko ati, “Waba wabonye umwana wanjye?” Inkoko ntiyasubiza. Nyina wa Magurijana atangira kugira impungenge.
As Chicken was walking home, she met Mother Millipede. Mother Millipede asked, “Have you seen my child?” Chicken didn’t say anything.
Mother Millipede was worried.
Hanyuma nyina wa Magurijana yumva akajwi gato kavug akati, “Mama ntabara!” Nyina wa Magurijana areba hirya no hino anatega amatwi kurushaho. Yumva ka kajwi karaturuka mu nda y’Inkoko.
Then Mother Millipede heard a tiny voice. “Help me mom!” cried the voice. Mother Millipede looked around and listened carefully. The voice came from inside the chicken.
