Yeroo tokko naacha bela’aa tokkotu ture.
Once there was a very hungry crocodile.
Hapo zamani, palikuwa na mamba mwenye njaa.
Suuta jedhe nyaata barabadaa ture…
He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…
Alitafuta chakula taratibu na kwa ukimya. Halafu…
Powoo!!! jedhe!
POW!!! The crocodile strikes!
POO!!! Mamba anashambulia!
Saana booda belli isaa irrabadee gammadaa ta’ee.
After that he is no longer hungry, and he is happy.
Baada ya hapo hana njaa tena, na anafurahi.
Hamma yeroo biraa bela’utti.
Until he gets hungry again.
Hadi atakapopatwa na njaa tena.
