Kwajinga kibokolo wanzala.

Once there was a very hungry crocodile.

He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…

Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…


Puku!!! kibokolo byo akwachile!

POW!!! The crocodile strikes!

Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!


Kufumapopo waikwite nekusekelela.

After that he is no longer hungry, and he is happy.

Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.


Kufika nejuba jikwabo jakunvwa nzala.

Until he gets hungry again.

Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
