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

Mbwa alilipa zaidi kidogo kwa sababu hakuwa na pesa taslimu.
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.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.

Dereva alikasirika sana. Aliondoka bila kumrudishia Mbwa chenji yake.
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.
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.
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.
