Chungu kilichokufa
Brigid Simiyu
Emily Berg
Biantaka alikuwa na ng'ombe.
Alikuwa pia na chungu kidogo cha maji.
Alienda kwa jirani yake kuomba chungu kikubwa.
Biantaka aliweka chungu kidogo ndani ya kile kikubwa.
Alivibeba vyungu vyote akampelekea jirani yake.
Biantaka alimwambia jirani, "Chungu chako kilizaa."
Biantaka alirudi kwa jirani kuomba chungu tena.
Hakukirejesha.
Jirani aliamua kwenda kumwuliza.
Biantaka alisema, "Kilikufa. Nilikuwa najitayarisha kuja kukwambia."
Jirani alipiga kelele, "Sijawahi kusikia chungu kikifa!"
Biantaka alijibu, "Rafiki yangu, kila kitu kinachozaa lazima kife."
Jirani alienda mahakamani kumshtaki Biantaka.
Hakimu alisema, "Kila kiumbe hai kinachozaa, lazima kife."
Biantaka alipata chungu kikubwa.
Jirani yake akakipoteza chungu chake.
