Tingi waxuu la noolaa ayaydiis hooyo.
Tingi lived with his grandmother.
Waxuu lo’da la raaci jiray ayada.
He used to look after the cows with her.
Maalin ayaa waxaa yimid askartii.
One day the soldiers came.
Tingi iyo ayaydiis way carareen waa ayna dhuunteen.
Tingi and his grandmother ran away and hid.
Waxay isku qariyeen duurka ilaa iyo habeenkii.
They hid in the bush until night.
Kadib askartii ayaa dib ugu soo labteen.
Then the soldiers came back.
Ayaydii waxa ay Tingi ku qarisay caleemaha hoostooda.
Grandmother hid Tingi under the leaves.
Mid ka mid ah askartii ayaa lugtiisa midig saaray Tingi, laakiin wuu iska aamusnaa.
One of the soldiers put his foot right on him, but he kept quiet.
Markii ay nabad noqdeen, Tingi iyo ayaydiis hooyo banaanka ayey usoo baxeen.
When it was safe, Tingi and his grandmother came out.
Waxa ay u soo guurguurteen guriga si aad u shanqar yar.
They crept home very quietly.
