«Mukengeerage ngiisi kwo Nahano, Rurema winyu, akahisa imyaka makumi gana, agweti agamùrongoora mwiꞌshamba. Akalooza kwo mube batuudu. Anamùgeza, halinde alonge ukumenya íbiri mu mitima yinyu, iri mugasimbaha imaaja zaage, kandi iri nanga. 
Akatee mùleka mukizi libuuka, munashalike. Ha nyuma, anamùheereza imana, gira mukizi lya. Yibyo byokulya, mutâli biyiji, kiri na bashokuluza biinyu. Na íbitumiri Nahano akagira kwokwo, gira lyo alonga ukumùyigiriza kwo bitalyagagi byoꞌmundu ali mu lya naaho, byo bitumiri ali mu ba mugumaana. Si angalama naaho, ku magambo ágalyosiri imwa Rurema. 
«Mwiꞌyo myaka makumi gana, ibyambalwa biinyu bitakahula. Kiri naꞌmagulu giinyu gatakaheema. 
Mumenye naaho, kwo Nahano, Rurema winyu aloziizi ukumùhanuula, nga kwokulya umushosi ali mu hanuula umwana wage. 
Kwokwo, mukizi simbaha imaaja zaage, iri munakizi múheereza ulushaagwa. 
«Buno Nahano, Rurema winyu akola agamùleeta mu kihugo kiija. Mu yikyo kihugo, muli inyiiji, muli neꞌshyoko nyingi zaꞌmiiji. Yago miiji, gali mu zununuka mu kuzimu, ganakizi hinga mu migazi, kiri na mu ndekeera. 
Mu yikyo kihugo, muli mu yera ingano, noꞌbulo, kiri neꞌmizabibu, neꞌmitiini, naꞌmakomamanga. Muyeziri kiri naꞌmavuta geꞌmizehituuni, noꞌbuuki. 
«Iyo munda, mutagabula yeꞌmikate, mutagananiihirwa na kindu kyoshi-kyoshi. Amabuye gaayo, gali mafushe mweꞌbyuma. Na mu migazi yamwo, mugakizi humba mweꞌmiringa. 
Ikyanya mugaaba keera mwalya, munabe mukoli jeberiiri mu kihugo kiija kyo Nahano akamùheereza, haaho, mukizi tanga kongwa imwage.» 
«Mutakolwe mbu muyibagire Nahano, Rurema winyu. Zeene namùheereza amategeko gaage, neꞌmaaja zaage, neꞌmigeeza yage. Yibyo byoshi, mutakolwe mbu mukizi bihaasa-haasa kwo. 
Mugakizi lya noꞌkuyiguta. Munayubake inyumba nyiija, munazituule mwo. 
Ingaavu ziinyu, neꞌbibuzi, neꞌmbene binayolole. Munabe neꞌnooro nyingi, neꞌharija, halinde byoshi byo muhiiti binayushuuke. 
Ku yikyo kyanya, hatagire úgakizi yikangaata. Mutanayibagire Nahano, Rurema winyu. Mukuba, yehe naaho ye kamùlyosa mu buja mu kihugo kyeꞌMiisiri. 
«Ikyanya mukayingira muꞌlya namuhirye wiꞌshamba, mwanagwana amiiji ndaago, mwanahuumirwa, mwanahambiri hola neꞌnyoota. Mwanagwana na mweꞌmijoka yoꞌkukomana, kiri noꞌtumini. Kundu kwokwo, Nahano akamùhulukiza amiiji mu lwala. 
Mu lyeryo ishamba, anamùliisa imana. Iyo mana, kiri na bashokuluza biinyu batakagimenya. Akamùyereka amakayu, gira alonge ukumùgeza, halinde akabuli longa ukumùgirira amiija. 
«Kwokwo, mutakolwe kwo mwayidesa, ti: “Si tukayigaza ku misi yitu twenyene!” 
Nanga maashi! Mukengeere kwo Nahano, Rurema winyu, ye mu mùshoboleesa ukugala. Na kirya kihango kyo akanywana na bashokuluza biinyu, akiri mu kisimbaha halinde zeene. 
«Iri mwangamúyibagira, munabe mukulikiiri ibindi-bindi íbiri mu yikumbwa, iri munabifukamira, zeene namùkengula kwokuno: “Ukushereezibwa, ku kasiisa mugaki shereezibwa.” 
Iri mutangasimbaha Nahano, Rurema winyu, mugashereezibwa nga ngiisi kwo Nahano akashereeza igindi milala imbere liinyu.»
