呢個係卡麗。佢今年七歲。喺肯雅嘅當地方言入面，呢個名係「好人」嘅意思。
Khalai ni msichana mwenye umri wa miaka saba. Jina lake lina maana ya ‘aliye mzuri’ katika lugha yake ya Lubukusu.
卡麗朝頭早瞓醒，同棵橙樹講：「橙樹吖，唔該你快高長大啦，生啲又大又甜嘅橙俾我哋！」
Khalai anaamka na kuongea na mmea mchanga wa Mchungwa, “Tafadhali mti wa Mchungwa, kua mkubwa uzae machungwa mengi mabivu.”
喺卡麗行路返學嘅路上佢就同草地講：「草地吖，唔該你一定要生綠啲，唔好枯乾晒吖。」
Khalai anaenda shuleni na njiani anaongea na Nyasi, “Tafadhali Nyasi, kua kijani zaidi na zaidi na wala usikauke.”
卡麗路過啲野花，佢就同啲野花講：「野花吖，唔該你哋一路開花唔好停啦，等我可以將你放喺頭上面。」
Khalai anayapita Maua ya mwituni na kusema, “Tafadhali Maua, endelea kunawiri ili niweze kukuweka kwenye nywele zangu.”
喺學校度，卡麗同操場中間嘅小樹就話：「小樹吖，唔該你生多啲又粗又大嘅樹枝啦，噉我哋就可以喺樹蔭中讀書啦。」
Akiwa shuleni, Khalai anazunguumza na Mti ulioko katikati ya shule, “Tafadhali Mti, toa matawi makubwa ili tusome chini ya kivuli chako.”
卡麗仲同學校左近嘅灌木叢就話：「灌木吖，唔該你哋生得強壯啲，噉啲衰人就唔入到嚟學校啦。」
Khalai anazunguumza na ua unaoizingira shule yake, “Tafadhali ua, kuwa mwenye nguvu ili uzuie shule yetu kutokana na watu wabaya.”
當卡麗由學校返到屋企，佢又去睇吓棵橙樹，問佢話：「你啲橙熟未呀？」
Anaporudi nyumbani alasiri, Khalai anautembelea mti wa Mchungwa kuangalia kama machungwa yameiva.
卡麗唉聲嘆氣噉話：「啲橙仔仲係綠色嘅，我聽日再嚟睇吓你啦！或者聽日你就會俾隻又熟又甜嘅橙我嘞！」
“Machungwa bado mabichi,” Khalai anashusha pumzi. “Nitakuona kesho, we mti wa machungwa. Labda utanipa chungwa bivu wakati huo.”
