Arai kolong Akine, Ing’ok ka Aite ng’ipaalon luminan noi. Apei kwaar tolimosi aperor, dio todoka amotoka.
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.
Na anang’eta ni alose dio totiyaunos. Abu ekamen amotoka king’it kechi ngaropiyae. Tolemu Aite nakeng daang tatach.
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.
Dio Ing’ok kipoto anot ang’aropiyae kidaru na achamakina ebuakinio ng’esi.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Mbwa alilipa zaidi kidogo kwa sababu hakuwa na pesa taslimu.
Napei ebala ekamen amotoka atobuwak Ing’ok ng’aropiyae na adikino ebongunete, kipung’ar Akine nyetacha!
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.
Tong’o ekamen amotokaa lokojokon kitorotok amotoka nyebuakina Ing’ok ng’aropiyae keng.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Dereva alikasirika sana. Aliondoka bila kumrudishia Mbwa chenji yake.
Ng’akiro erakari Ing’ok na ing’olikinia amotoka kipung’akin esaki ng’aropiyae keng nakolong edong’ete lokamen amotokaa.
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.
Na eng’olikinia Akine amotoka abu kipung’ar namoni kotere eemit akirumuno king’itae ng’aropiyae.
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.
Nabo inisa Aite alorukudi kotere eyeni atamari atach kolong emam nyakadaitae ng’aropiyae.
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.
