Andiswa het die seuns wat sokker gespeel het, dopgehou. Sy het gewens sy kon saamspeel. Sy het die afrigter gevra of sy nie saam met hulle kon oefen nie.
Andiswa watched the boys play soccer. She wished that she could join them. She asked the coach if she can practise with them.
Andiswa aaleetamba abalumendo baleeteya umupila waku makasa. Aaleekabila ukuteya na beena. Aalilombele bakafundisha ba mupila nga kuti bamusuminisha ukuteyako.
Die afrigter het sy hande op sy heupe gesit. “By hierdie skool word net seuns toegelaat om sokker te speel,” het hy gesê.
The coach put his hands on his hips. “At this school, only boys are allowed to play soccer,” he said.
Bakafundisha baabikile amaboko mu musana. Basosele ati, “Pano pa sukulu, abalumendo bekafye ebasuminishiwa ukuteya umupila waku makasa.”
Die seuns het gesê sy moes gaan netbal speel. Hulle het gesê netbal is bedoel vir meisies en sokker vir seuns. Andiswa was baie ongelukkig.
The boys told her to go play netball. They said that netball is for girls and soccer is for boys. Andiswa was upset.
Andiswa het na die afrigter toe gehardloop en by hom gepleit om haar te laat speel. Die afrigter was onseker wat om te doen. Hy het toe besluit dat Andiswa deel mag wees van die span.
Andiswa ran to the coach and begged him to let her to play. The coach was not sure what to do. Then he decided that Andiswa could join the team.
