Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.

Apa ha kakumine oku hatambire, muhingi gha wepurire hafute futo dhawo. Ngombe ye ghatapire.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.

Mbwa gha futire gho mengi kupitakana agha gha roghera kutapa yoyishi mbadi gha karire no masherenyi gho kurikanyena.

because he did not
have the correct money.

Muhingi kwa shanine gha tape tjindji dhaMbwa apa gha tjirire Ṅombo oku ye mbadi ghana futu.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying

Namutekenya cilya aalimukupeela Imbwa cenji, Imbushi yabutuka ukwabula ukulipila nangu lumo.
Muhingi gha tokotire thikuma. Gha hingire ghakayende no mbadi ghatapire tjindji dhaMbwa.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Namutekenya tepakufulwa. Efyo aenseshe motoka ukwabula ukubwesesha Imbwa cenji.
Yodiyo keho, ngambi dyarero, Mbwa ne kutjidha thihaghuto ghunokera mwishi gha wane ya muhingi gha mukorota masherenyi ghendi.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep

Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Imbushi ilabutuka iciunda ca motoka. Ilatiina ukuikata pa mulandu wa kukaana lipila indalama.
No Ngombe ye ne mbadi gha kudhekeranga ngeshi thihaghuto thina kwiya. Ngombe kukuranga pakutjinaghana thitavura yoyishi gha futire ye mukuyara.
And Cow is not
