Edda enyo, waliyo omukyala omukadde eyali abeera ne bazukulu be basatu.
Buli kumakya bagenda nga okola mu nimiro.
Naye olunaku lumu, omu kubawala yagamba nti, "Jjaja, sewulila bulungi leero."
Awo, namukadde omwana namusindika adde ewaka.
Omuwala we yatuuka eka, yalaba ennyama mu nsuwa.
Yonna n'agirya oluvanyuma neyebaka.
Namukkadde n'abaana ababiri we bakomawo okuva munimiro baali bakooye era nga enjala ebaluma.
Jjaja nafumba ugali we kyeggulo, okumulya ne nnyama gye yali afumbye kumakya ennyo.
Yasaanukula ensuwa okujulira bazukulu be.
We yasaanukula ensuwa eyalimu ennyama, yali nkalu!
"Ani yalidde ennyama?" JJaja yabuza, nga akambuwadde.
Naye bona abazukulu abasaatu banyenya mitwe gyabwe. "Sinze," buli omu nga agamba.
Awo jjaja naasiba omuguwa ebusukka wo mugga.
Nagamba buli omu agutambulireko nga wayimba oluyimba.
"Eyalidde ennyama ajakugwa mu mugga, ayige okwogera amazima," Jjaja n'agamba abaana.
Omuzukulu omuwala eyasooka naatambala mangu naasala omugga nga yimba oluyimba.
Oluyimba lwali weluti: "Wemba nga nze eyalidde ennyama omuguwa kagukutuke gunsuule munyanja
kangwe ebuziba mu nyanja omuguwa kagukutuke gunsuule munyanja."
Awo bali abazukulu ababiri ne batandika okuyombagana.
Omuwala nagamba omulenzi, "Gwe abaddako." Omulenzi namuddamu nti, "Nedda gwe abaddako!"
Omuzukulu e'yali alidde ennyama yali atidde nga akankana.
We yalinya maaso akutambulira kumuguwa, yaseerera nagwa mu mugga.
"Nyamba! Nyamba!" Omuwala yaleekaana.
JJaja nagamba bali ababiri nti, "Oyo gumusinze, naye tuyina okumuyamba."
Wamu ne basikayo omuwala eyali atidde okuva mumugga.
Okuva olwo bazukulu banamukadde boogera amazima.
