Zuŵa linyakhe, Maguru wakaghanaghana kuti wapeleke malundi ku nyama zose. Wakakhumbanga kuti nazo zendenge.

Wakaziphalira kuti wazipenge malundi.
Nyama zikati, "Ciŵenge ciwemi comene kuti tiŵe na malundi."

Zikayimba na kuvina.
Nyama zikati kukhwaŵa kukaŵa kunonono.

Zikapulikanga kuŵaŵa.
Dazi likati lafika, nyama zinandi zikaluta kunyumba ya Maguru.

Nyamalikiti, nkhalamu, zovu, ŵakalulu, ngwina, na tuyuni vikayima pa mzere.
Nyama yiliyose yikapasika malundi yanayi.

Tuyuni tukapasika malundi yaŵiri.
Cili cose cikasintha zikati zapokera malundi.

Zinyakhe zikavinanga na chimwemwe. Zinyakhe zikawanga.

Wawumaliro pa mzere wakaŵa Bongololo. Maguru wakafumba, "Kasi waliposo munyakhe pamanyuma pako?"

Bongololo wakazgola wakati, "Yayi, ndine wawumaliro."
