M’ngono wanga amacedwa kugona.Ndimauka m’mamawa cifukwa ndine wa ngwilo!
Mdogo wangu anachelewa kuamka. Mimi naamka mapema kwa sababu mimi ni mkubwa!
Ndine ndimatsegulako kuti dzuwa lilowe.
Mimi ndiye ninayeruhusu jua kuingia ndani.
“Ndiwe nthanda yanga,” amatelo amai kundiwuza.
“Wewe ni nyota wangu wa asubuhi,” anasema mama.
Ndimadzisamba ndekha matsiku onse, sindifunanso thandidzo ai.
Naoga mwenyewe, sihitaji msaada.
Sindimaganiza zakuti madzi ndiyodzidzila, kapena sopo wa kamtambo wocapila dzobvala.
Naweza kustahimili maji ya baridi na sabuni ya bluu inayonukia.
Amai amandikumbutsa kuti “osayiwala kutsuka mano.” Ndimawayanka kuti “Ine ai, sindingaiwale ai!”
Mama ananikumbusha, “Usisahau kupiga mswaki.” Namjibu, “Kamwe, sio mimi!”
Ndikamalidza kusamba, ndimapatsa moni agogo amuna ndi alongo awo atate anga.Ndimawafunila tsiku labwino.
Baada ya kuoga, nawasalimu babu na shangazi, na kuwatakia siku njema.
Ndipo ndimabvala ndekha.”Ndine wamkulu tsopano amama,” ndimawaudza.
Najivisha nguo mwenyewe. “Mimi ni mkubwa sasa mama,” ninamwambia.
Ndimanga mabatani komanso nthambo za nsapato ndekha.
Ninaweza kufunga vishikizo na kurekebisha viatu vyangu.
Ndimayesetsa kuti mbale wanga adziwe nkhani zonse za kusukulu.
Na ninahakikisha mdogo wangu anapata taarifa zote za shule.
Ndimacita zonse zothekela munjira mukalasi.
Darasani najitahidi sana katika kila kitu.
Ndimacita zabwino zonsezi tsiku ndi tsiku.Koma ndimakondetsetsa kusowela kwambili!
Ninafanya hivi vitu vyote vizuri kila siku. Ila kitu ninachokipenda sana ni kucheza na kucheza.
