Nekunani kwena yene shwile hahulu tala.
Once there was a very hungry crocodile.
Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.
Naibatisisa zakuca hanyinyani hanyinyani ka kukuza. Mi cwale…
He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…
Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…
POO!!! Kwena seiswala!
POW!!! The crocodile strikes!
Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!
Kuzwa fo aisa utwa tala, mi yatabela.
After that he is no longer hungry, and he is happy.
Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.
Kufitela foikatoutwela tala hape.
Until he gets hungry again.
Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
