Lola lumwe kupwile ngandu wazala.

Once there was a very hungry crocodile.

Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.


Atondele vyakulya chindende chindende kaha cheka muwuholela. Kaha nawa....

He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…

Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…


OW!!! ngandu nakamata!

POW!!! The crocodile strikes!

Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!


Halutwe lwa chize keshi cheka nazalako, kaha nawahilila.

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

Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.


Kuvanga apwenga na zala cheka.

Until he gets hungry again.

Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
