Ha nyuma, byanashungikwa kwo tugendage mu poroveesi yeꞌHitaliya naꞌmashuba. Kyanatuma Pahulu naꞌbandi bashweke, bagasikirizibwa imwoꞌmukulu muguma waꞌbasirikaani, iziina lyage Yuliyo. Âli riiri mukulu muguma waꞌbasirikaani, ábâli kizi kolera Mwami Mukulu. 
Twanashonera mu mashuba maguma geꞌHadiramiti. Gâli kizi genda gagayimanga-yimanga mu byambu bya mu poroveesi yeꞌHaziya. Neꞌkyanya tukalyoka yaho, twâli kola kuguma na Harisitariko, weꞌTesaloniki, mu poroveesi yeꞌMakedoniya. 
Iri bukakya, twanayezeka mu kyambu kya mu kaaya keꞌSidooni. Na yaho, Yuliyo anagirira Pahulu bwija, mu kumúhanguula kwo agendi bonaana naꞌbiira baage, gira bakamútabaale ku ngiisi íbimúgooziri. 
Neꞌri tukashubi yimuka yaho, twanasooka inyuma lyo akalira Kipuro, gira tutakayirwe bweneene neꞌmbuusi. 
Twanajabuka inyaaja, mu kulenga ku butambi bweꞌkihugo kyeꞌKirikiya, na ku bweꞌPamufiriya. Twabuli hika mu kaaya keꞌMira, mu poroveesi yeꞌRikiya. 
Na yaho, umukulu waꞌbasirikaani, anagwana haꞌmashuba ga mu kaaya keꞌHalegizanderiya, goꞌkugenda mu poroveesi yeꞌHitaliya. Anatushoneza mwo. 
Twanamala isiku nyingi mu mashuba, tuli mu genda tugayisindoola mu kati kaꞌmalibu. Ubuzinda, twanalindi yegeera i Kinido. Haaho, ikihuhuuta kyanatubuza ukulenga ho twâli riiri tugalenga. Kyanatuma tugasooka inyuma lyaꞌkalira Kereete, uluhande lweꞌSalumooni. 
Twanagenda tugalenga ku ngombe ku ngombe mu kati kaꞌmalibu. Twanalindi hika áhali mu buuzibwa Byambu Biija, hoofi lyeꞌLaseya. 
Twâli kola siku nyingi tuli mu lugeezi, halinde kiri noꞌlusiku lukulu lwoꞌkuyishalisa lwanaba keera lwalenga. Byanaboneka kweꞌri twangagenderera noꞌlugeezi, twangakoli lulongera mwo gobwe-gobwe. Kyanatuma Pahulu agahanuula abaabo, ti: 
«E bashosi, keera nabona kwo yulu lugeezi lugatuleetera ibala. Yaga mashuba, kuguma neꞌyi miteekerwa, byoshi bigatikirira mwiꞌno nyaaja. Baguma biitu, banakengeere basiga mwaꞌmatwe gaabo.» 
Yiryo ihano lya Pahulu, umukulu waꞌbasirikaani anabona kwo liri ndaalyo. Anasiima amagambo geꞌkirongoozi kyaꞌmashuba, na mwene go. 
Na kwakundi, yikyo kyambu kyâli kizi hahaza abandu bweneene ku kyanya kyeꞌmbeho. Kyanatuma abandu bingi mu mashuba bagaatwa uluhango kwo balyoke yaho, balole iri bangaki hika mu kyambu kyeꞌFoyiniki, kya mu kalira keꞌKereete, gira habe ho bagatee beera ku kyanya kyeꞌmbeho. Yikyo kyambu kyeꞌFoyiniki, kishooziri mu mbande zeꞌmunda izuuba liri mu sookera. 
Ha nyuma, ihihuusi hiija hyanatondeera ukuhuusa ukulyoka uluhande lweꞌkisaka. Kyanatuma beene mashuba bagaatona kwo keera balonga ubulyo bwoꞌkugenderera noꞌlugeezi lwabo, nga kwo bâli koli loziizi. Kwokwo, banazamuula inanga yaꞌmashuba, banayimuka yaho. Banagenda bagalenga ku ngookolo ku ngookolo yaꞌkalira Kereete. 
Ha nyuma hiniini, mu migazi ya mu yako kalira, mwanayami huluka ikihuhuuta kikayu bweneene. Yikyo kihuhuuta, kyâli kizi buuzibwa Ehurakilo. 
Kirya kihuhuuta, kyanakizi yipukula-pukula ku kibavu kyaꞌmashuba. Na kundu tukakihagala kwo, kyanatuyumuusa. Neꞌri hakatama, twanaleka kyatuhunguukana i buziba. 
Twanasooka inyuma lyeꞌhirira hiniini Kahuda, hyanatukingira hiniini ku kirya kihuhuuta. Haaho, twanalolaga ku bwato bwoꞌkukizi kululwa naꞌmashuba. Twanakubira mu kubushweka kweꞌmigozi, 
gira tubulengereze mu mashuba. Neꞌri tukaba keera twabulengereza mwo, abashooji banasoosa amashuba goonyene kweꞌmigozi, gira gatabereke. Na mukuba bakayoboha kwo hali ikyanya bangagendi hangatiira mu mushenyu gwa mu kihugo kyeꞌLibiya, kyanatuma bagashonoola amatanga gaꞌmashuba, banagaleka gagende kwokwo. 
Imidunda, yanakizi pukula-pukula ku mashuba. Neꞌri bukakya, abashooji banatondeera ukukabulira imiteekerwa mu nyaaja. 
Neꞌri bukashubi kya, banashaaza naꞌmatanga mahamu gaꞌmashuba, kuguma neꞌnguliro yago. Ehee! Yibyo byoshi, banabitibulira mu nyaaja naꞌmaboko gaabo boonyene. 
Hanalenga isiku nyingi izuuba neꞌndonde bítaboneka. Neꞌyo nyaaja iki genderiiri ukukundula-kundula. Twanayihebuura kwo tutagaki kira. 
Yabo bashosi, iri bakaba keera bamala siku nyingi mu nyaaja, bátalya kindu, Pahulu anayimanga ha kati kaabo, anababwira: «E bashosi, ku kyanya nꞌgamùhanuula i Kereete kwo tutalunguli lyoka yo, mwâli kwiriiri munyuvwe. Múki nyuvwe, ngeꞌbindu biinyu bitatikira kwoku. 
Kundu kwokwo, namùyinginga kwo mukanie imitima! Mukuba, ndaaye kiri noꞌmuguma winyu úgashereera. Si yaga mashuba naaho go gagagendi jajagulika. 
«Niehe, ndi mundu wa Rurema. Na bwo ndi mukozi wage, zeene bushigi, umuganda wage ashubi yimaaziri ha butambi lyani, 
anambwira: “E Pahulu! Utayobohe! Si ushungisirwi kwo ugagendi yimanga imbere lya Kahisaari. Na kwakundi, umenye bwija kwo yaba booshi bo mubalamiinwi, Rurema agakukiriza bo ku lukogo lwage.” 
«Ku yukwo, e bashosi, mukanagye imitima! Ngiisi kwo Rurema ambwira, nyemiiri kwo bigakoleka ngana. 
Kundu kwokwo, tugaki gendi seenekwa mu kalira kalebe.» 
Twanamala isiku ikumi na zina tugweti tugahunguukanwa neꞌkihuhuuta mu nyaaja yeꞌHadiriya. Neꞌri hakaba ha kati koꞌbushigi koꞌlusiku lwiꞌkumi na zina, balya bashooji banayiyuvwa kwo ngeeka keera bayegerera ibuga lirebe. 
Kyanatuma bagatibulira ulugero mu miiji, banabona kwoꞌkuhika haashi, zikiri meetere makumi gana. Neꞌri bakashegera ha mbere hiniini, banashubi tibulira ulugero mu miiji, banabona kwoꞌkuhika haashi, zikola meetere makumi gashatu. 
Banayoboha kwaꞌmashuba gangakoli gendi yitumikira ku maala. Kyanatuma bagayami gayimangika, mu kukabula inanga zina mu miiji inyuma lyago. Banayifwija kwo bukye duba. 
Balya bashooji banalooza ukutibita amashuba. Kyanatuma bagashubi shonoolera ubwato mu miiji, banayigiriisa nga bagakabula mweꞌnanga zeꞌmbere. 
Lyeryo, Pahulu anabwira umukulu waꞌbasirikaani, kuguma naꞌbasirikaani baage ti: «Yaba bashooji, iri tutangabeeranwa mu gano mashuba, mutagaki kira!» 
Kyanatuma abasirikaani bagatola imigozi íyâli gwasiri ubwato. Banaleka inyaaja ibutwale. 
Neꞌri bukaba bukola mu tejuukana, Pahulu anabwira abaabo booshi, kwokuno: «Zeene, keera mwamala isiku ikumi na zina mugweti mugatulagula, ndaanakyo kindu kyo mushuba mu lya. 
Aahago! Namùyinginga bweneene mulye, gira lyo mulonga ubulyo bwoꞌkukira. Mukuba, ndaaye muguma winyu úgateera, kiri neꞌhidende higuma hyoꞌmushaku úguli kwiꞌtwe lyage.» 
Iri Pahulu akayusa ukudeta kwokwo, anayabiira umukate, anatanga kongwa imwa Rurema imbere lya booshi. Anagukoojola, anatondeera ukulya. 
Lyeryo, booshi banakana imitima, nabo banalya. 
Na tweshi kwo twâli riiri mu mashuba, twâli hisiri bandu magana gabiri na makumi galinda na ndatu. 
Yabo booshi, iri bakaba keera bashaluuka, banakabulira ingano mu nyaaja, gira bashubi yanguhya amashuba. 
Neꞌri bukakya bwija, abashooji banabona ikoona íriri kwoꞌmushenyu. Haliko, batanamenya liri lya mu kihugo kihi. Banashungika kwo baleke amashuba gagendi yiseeneka mu kati kaalyo, iri byangaziga. 
Kwokwo, banashulumula imigozi yeꞌnanga ízâli tibuliirwi mu miiji. Banashulumula neꞌmigozi íyâli shwesiri ibiti byoꞌkugarongoora. Babuli shonia ihitanga hyeꞌmbere, gira lyeꞌmbuusi igendi gaseeneka mwiꞌkoona. 
Haliko yago mashuba, ikyanya gakashegera ha mbere hiniini, itwe lyago lyeꞌmbere lyanayami yifunda mu mushenyu gwa mu miiji, lyanahangatiira mwo. Itwe lyago lyeꞌnyuma, lyanakizi pukulwa-pukulwa neꞌmidunda, lyanatondeera ukubereka. 
Haaho, abasirikaani ábâli riiri mu mashuba, banashungika kwo bayite abashweke booshi, gira hatagire kiri noꞌmuguma wabo úgatibita ku njira yoꞌkuyoga. 
Haliko, umukulu wabo atanalooza kwo Pahulu ayitwe, kyanatuma agababuza. Haaho, anadetaga kwo ngiisi ábayiji ukuyoga, babe bo bagatee yikabula mu miiji, gira bagwanwe bayogoroka. 
Na ábagasigala, bayabiire imbahwa, kandi iri ibihande byaꞌmashuba, bibe byo bagayogorokera kwo. Kwokwo, kwo tweshi tukayogoroka tuli bagumaana.
