Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.

Hapo zamani, palikuwa na mamba mwenye njaa.

Once there was a very hungry crocodile.


Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…

Alitafuta chakula taratibu na kwa ukimya. Halafu…

He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…


Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!

POO!!! Mamba anashambulia!

POW!!! The crocodile strikes!


Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.

Baada ya hapo hana njaa tena, na anafurahi.

After that he is no longer hungry, and he is happy.


Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.

Hadi atakapopatwa na njaa tena.

Until he gets hungry again.
