Mutoni ni umukobwa muto uzi kwiruka nk'umuyaga. Akunda kwisekera kandi agakorana umurava imirimo yose bamuhaye.

Uyu ni umunsi wa siporo ku ishuri. Kamikazi yakinaga umupira w'amaguru akaniruka mu byiciro bitatu.

Nyuma yamasomo yatahanaga n'inshiti ye yitwa Hawa. Hawa yaramubwiye ngo: Kamikazi, uri uwa mbere ku ishuri mu kwiruka.

Mama we yamubwiye yisekera ati, mwana wanjye wavukanye impano. Isupu irashya mukanya, ihangane.

Mama we yafashe isafuriya ashyiramo amavuta hanyuma ayitereka ku muriro. Yakarangishije ibitunguru na tungurusumu arabigaragura birashya. Yashyizemo pavuro n'inyanya, yongeramo amazi, hanyuma ashyiramo n'inyama eshashatu zitogosheje.

Mama we yasabye Mutoni kumufasha kuvanga nawe arabyemera.

Mutoni yavanze isupu aravuga ati: "ibiryo birahumura nk'ibiryoshye!"

Mutoni yakomeje kuvangavanga isupu aronera ati, iyi supu irahumura nk'iryoshye pe!

Mama we yaje kugaruka mu gikoni afite ibyo yari ari gukata.

Mutoni yari afashe umudaho.

Mama we yarasetse aramubwira ati: "Mwana wanjye, wakoze kumfasha guteka".

Mutoni yabuze icyo avuga.

Mama we yazanye bya birungo byose yari ari gukata, asaba Mutoni umudaho, atangira kuvangavanga isupu.
