Bala nhetembo idzedzi konga fa umuka. Wofa umuka kakale. Nonga nhu unohwa hwi lenkwinya uwo wawaka uziba ntolo mabwe etjimanyolonyolo, koga nasi abe batategulu muluzibo nemano. Ndajalo nentha yekuti mubhuku ileli Buchi gwetetemba tolayiwa tisalipa mari yekwele yebhondingi neyebaka. Ngono hakuna unokubhata nekhani kuti labuka kene gala pasi. Kene tanha nti. Koga ukatangisa bala kuyipapa, notangisa bona kuti, "Pa uhaka tjinhu utjibhate nezila!" gumwe lubaka ubona woga kuti, "zwimwe hohhela Hohhe hohhe kulihohhela," kutila kuti kundile mbeli. Lubaka gokhona "pela upedza lubaka!" Nhetembo idzedzi dzandihanhisa nekuti dzoziba kuti ndinhu nkulu usingahake budziwa kweta. Ndongokumbudziwa kuti nditeni. Ndolakidziwa kwandagala ndihaka kutila kuti kulambe kulipo. Lulimi gwahingisiwa ipapa gunyolonyolo senyama yemhulu, iwe ihha nemoto nemunyu koga. Ngono ipapa kwabe nebuchi idzo nyuchi dzisipi, nhoti ini tjakumisa mola sebana bebamwe? Nlume wakwala, Ushehwedu Kufakurinani haate nhu wezana naye balume!
