Hapo zamani, palikuwa na mamba mwenye njaa.

Once there was a very hungry crocodile.

Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.


Alitafuta chakula taratibu na kwa ukimya. Halafu…

He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…

Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…


POO!!! Mamba anashambulia!

POW!!! The crocodile strikes!

Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!


Baada ya hapo hana njaa tena, na anafurahi.

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

Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.


Hadi atakapopatwa na njaa tena.

Until he gets hungry again.

Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
