ጤል፡ ከልብን ላምን ግርም መሓዙት ነበሩ። ሓደ መዓልቲ ታክሲ ተሳፊሮም ንመገሻ ነቐሉ።
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
ኣብ መወዳእታ ናይ መገሻኦም ምስበጽሑ፡ እቲ ዘዋራይ ዋጋ መጓዓዝያኦም ንክኸፍሉ ሓተቶም። ላም ዕዳኣ ከፈለት።
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
ከልቢ እቲ ዝተሓተተ ልክዕ ሸርፊ ስለዘይነበሮ፡ ካብ ዕዳኡ ቅሩብ ዝዛይድ ከፈለ።
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
እቲ ዘዋራይ ንከልቢ ማልሱ ክህቦ እናተዳለወ እንከሎ ጤል ካብ ዕዳኣ ገለ’ኳ ከይከፈለት ሃደመት።
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
እቲ ዘዋራይ ኣዝዩ ተቘጥዐ። ንከልቢ ማልሱ ከይሃቦ ተሓምቢቡ ተመርቀፈ።
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
ስለዚ ድማ እዩ፡ ክሳብ ሎሚ፡ ከልቢ ናብ ውሽጢ ማኪና ንኽቕልቀልን ነቲ ገንዘብ ዝእውዶ ዘዋራይ ንኽረክብን ናብ ማኪና ገጹ ዝጐይይ።
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
ጤል ካብ ድምጺ ማኪና ትሃድም። ዕዳኣ ብዘይምኽፋላ ከይትእሰር ትፈርሕ እያ።
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
ላም ድማ ማኪና ክትመጽእ ከላ ዕጅብ ኣይብላን እዩ። ላም ሸናዕ እንበለት እያ ጽርግያ ትሰግር ምኽንያቱ ዕዳኣ ብምሉኡ ከፊላ እያ።
And Cow is not
bothered when a car is
coming. Cow takes her
time crossing the road
because she knows she
paid her fare in full.
