Ra’ee, Saree fi sanii hiriyoota garii turn. Yeroo takko taksii dhan gara imala deeman.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Yeroo lafa imala isaani yeroo gahan, konkoaachisan taksii dha kafaltii isan gafatee. Sani kafaltii ishee qofa kafalte.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Sabaaba qarshii sirri wan hinqabneef, sareen gatii gafatamee ol kafalte.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Yeroo ra’een oto homaa hinkkafalin figudhaan soktee, konkolachisaan deebi saree dhaf kennuf ture.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Konkolachisaan bayee aree. Kanfu sareef oto deebi issa hinkenin sokke.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Hardhalee tanan sababin sareen konkoolatit figduuf debii san fudhachuufi.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Ra’een sagalee konkoolta irra nibaqaati. Sababin isas kaflte ishe wan hin kaffalin nana hidhama jette yaddi.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Sanii garuu yeroo konkoolatan dhufu hincinqamtu, sababin isas kafalte isshe offira kafalatee wanjirtuf.
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.
