Kawatuma iwatumwa wake wawalongele awala iwakemighwe watse kune chihungo, lekeni walema ukutsa. Kuya kawatuma iwatumwa wangi, kalonga, ‘Muwalongele pfino awala iwakemighwe kune chihungo, nyambika ipfijo. Wang'ombe wangu iwanenehe wachinjighwa, na chila chinu chaghoya. Mtse kuchihungo.’ Lekeni iwanu awo ng'awalangitse bae, woka, yumwe kune mghunda wake na yungi kune sang'ano tsake. Nawo iwanu iwakalile wawaghogha iwatumwa wake, wawatendela pfihile na wawakoma.

Ako kutsakuwa ne ichililo ne ukughegheda ghamatsino.’ ”
