Panthawi yina, kunali n’gona yanjala kwambili.
Once there was a very hungry crocodile.
Kwaliko Iŋwena iyali ne nsala saana.
Inasakila cakudya mosafulumila ndi mwacetecete. Kenako…
He searched for food slowly and quietly. And then…
Yaaleefwaya ifyakulya mumutalalila ukwabula ukupanga icongo. Elyo nomba…
Phoo!!! Ng’ona inagwila!
POW!!! The crocodile strikes!
Wiyu!!! Iŋwena yaikata icakulya!
Kucokela apo njala inasila, ndiponso ali osangalala.
After that he is no longer hungry, and he is happy.
Panuma yakulya, Iŋwena yaikuta kabili yasansamuka.
Mpaka akakhalenso ndi njala.
Until he gets hungry again.
Mpaka yaumfwa insala na kabili.
