Pakarire ngandu ghondhara.

Once there was a very hungry crocodile.

Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.


Gha shanine yidya ghunyoma thipore. Munyima dho po…

He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…

Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…


Mbakwa! Ngandu ghana kwata.

POW!!! The crocodile strikes!

Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!


Munyima dho po mbadi gha fire karo ndhara, no gha shambererire.

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

Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.


Kate gha fe ndhara karo.

Until he gets hungry again.

Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
