yokombwelo yimbo, wasaña alume vayuva ongombe. Kandumbu wacivanjiliya swi...
Noke yaco wasokolola heti cavelapo oku pinga, hambi oku nyana camãle.
- Vakwetu, kalungi!
- Kuku!
- Ndipopya ocili cange - Kandumbu
watongeka -, nda yongwile ño nda citava oku nyihã apwãla vo ngombe, oco
ndikalitekule lavo konanyã.
Okwiya vakuavo ka vavanjele konyima, vo

Cina hapa ndipinge utima, nda vawunyiha.
Ndatopela nye okuti ko ngome dipinga ko apwãla?!...
