English
Grandmother brought fruit from the market.
They looked delicious.
My brother Vusi was very greedy.
Who bit the fruits?
Grandmother became angry and shouted.
We suspected Vusi.
We told grandmother.
Grandmother asked him and he confessed.
Suddenly, Vusi didn't feel well.
He ran to the toilet.
Vusi held his stomach.
Grandmother asked, "What lesson did you learn from Vusi's experience?"
