Edda waliwo omusajja nga ye Nsangabisibe.
There was a man called Nsangabisibe.
Omusajja ono yalina mutabani nga ye Mudduawulira.
Nsangabisibe had a son called Mudduawulira.
Lumu taata yagamba mutabaniwe nti, "Jangu tutambuleko."
One day, the man said to his son, "Let's go for a walk."
Bwe baali batambula, nebasanga omugugu omusibe obulungi ennyo. Omugugu nga gusanyusa okulaba.
They found a very beautiful suitcase by the roadside. It was packed full.
Taata nakwatibwa amaddu nagamba Mudduawuliranti, "Situla omugugu ogwetike tugutwale eka."
"The man got very excited. He said to his son, "Pick it up and we will take it home."
Omwana nasitula omugugu neyetikka.
The son picked the suitcase and carried it on his head.
Batambulako katono, omusota neguva mumugugu negumugwa kubigere!
On the way home, a snake slithered out of the suitcase. It landed on Mudduawulira's feet!
Taata ne mutabaniwe batya nnyo era. Nebasuula omugugu nebadduka!
Father and son were both very scared. They dropped the suitcase and ran away very fast!
