ፍየል፣ ዉሻና ላም ጥሩ ጓደኛሞች ነበሩ። አንድ ቀን በታክሲ ጉዞ ለማድረግ ተነሱ።

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

Mbuzi, Mbwa na Ng’ombe walikuwa marafiki wa karibu sana. Siku moja walisafiri kwa teksi.


ከጉዟቸው መጨረሻ ሲደርሱም ታክሲ ነጂው መሳፈሪያቸውን እንዲከፍሉ ጠየቃቸው። ላም የራሷን ሒሳብ ከፈለች።

When they reached the end of their journey, the driver asked them to pay their fares. Cow paid her fare.

Walipofika mwisho wa safari yao, dereva aliwaomba walipe nauli zao. Ng’ombe alilipa nauli yake.


ዉሻ ትንሽ ተጨማሪ ከፈለች፤ ምክንያቱም ትክክለኛው ዓይነት ገንዘብ ስላልነበራት ነው።

Dog paid a bit extra, because he did not have the correct money.

Mbwa alilipa zaidi kidogo kwa sababu hakuwa na pesa taslimu.


ሹፌሩ ለዉሻው መልስ ሊሰጣት ሲል ፍየል ምንም ሳትከፍል ሮጠች።

The driver was about to give Dog his change when Goat ran away without paying anything.

Dereva alipokaribia kumpa Mbwa chenji yake, Mbuzi alitoroka bila kulipa chochote.


ሹፌሩ በጣም ስለተናደደ ለዉሻ ምንም መልስ ሳይሰጣት ሄደ።

The driver was very annoyed. He drove away without giving Dog his change.

Dereva alikasirika sana. Aliondoka bila kumrudishia Mbwa chenji yake.


ለዚያ ነው ዛሬ ድረስ ዉሻ መኪና በመጣ ቁጥር እየሮጠች መልሷን ያልሰጣትን ሹፌር ፍለጋ ወደ መኪናው ውስጥ ለማየት የምትሞክረው።

That is why, even today, Dog runs towards a car to peep inside and find the driver who owes him his change.

Hiyo ndiyo sababu hadi leo Mbwa hukimbiza magari ili achungulie ndani kuona kama atampata dereva mwenye chenji yake.


ፍየል የመኪና ድምጽ ስትሰማ ትሮጣለች። ምክንያቱም ሂሳብ ስላልከፈለች እንዳትታሰር ስለምትፈራ ነው።

Goat runs away from the sound of a car. She is afraid she will be arrested for not paying her fare.

Mbuzi hukimbia anaposikia mlio wa gari. Anaogopa atakamatwa kwa kutolipa nauli.


ላም ግን መኪና ሲመጣ ምንም አትጨናነቅም። መንገድም ስታቋርጥ ተረጋግታ ነው፤ ምክንያቱም ሂሳብ የለባትማ።

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.

Na Ng’ombe hababaiki gari likiwa linakuja. Ng’ombe huvuka barabara bila wasiwasi kwa sababu anajua alilipa nauli yake yote.
