Podi, Ntsa le Kgomo e ne e le ditsala tse dikgolo. Ka letsatsi lengwe ba tsaya loeto ka thekhisi.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Fa ba fitlha kwa bokhutlong jwa loeto lwa bona, mokgweetsi a ba kopa gore ba duele sekoloto sa bone. Kgomo a duela sa gagwe.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Ntsa a duela go feta sekoloto, ka ntlha ya gonne o ne a sena tshentshe.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Mokgweetsi o ne a batla go neela Ntsa tshentshe mme ke fa Podi a sia kwa ntle ga go duela molato.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Mokgweetsi o ne a tenegile tota. O ne a kgweetsa kwa ntle ga go neela Ntsa tshentshe ya gagwe.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Ke gone ka moo le fa e le gompieno, Ntsa o tabogelang koloi go okomela moteng go bona gore a ga a kitla a bona mokgweetsi yo o mo kolotang tshentshe.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Podi e a sia e tshaba modumo wa koloi. O tshaba gore o tla tshwarwa ka ntlha ya go sa duela molato wa gagwe.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Mme Kgomo ga a rekegele le fa koloi e tla. Kgomo o tsaya nako ya gagwe go kgabaganya tsela ka ntlha ya gonne o itse gore o duetse molato wa gagwe otlhe.
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.
