Inkende n'amapfa

Kinyarwanda
Kera Imvura yarabuze, maze ubutaka buruma.
Inkende imwe irasuhuka ijya gushaka amazi n'ibyo kurya.
Yuriye imisozi, yambuka ibibaya.
Yaje kugera ahantu hitwa i Bwiza.
Inkende yishimiye cyane aho hantu.
Yariye imbuto maze irabyibuha. Ariko ikumbura inshuti zayo.
Yafashe urugendo isubira imuhira.
Izindi nkende zishimiye cyane kongera kubona mugenzi wazo agarutse.
Zarayibajije ziti: "Aho hantu heza heze imbuto ni hehe?"
Inkende irazisubiza iti: "Nzahabajyana."
Zageze i Bwiza nazo zirahakunda. Zifata umwanzuro wo kuhigumira burundu.
Nyamara inkende zo mu Bwiza zo zagize impungenge.
Zaravuze ziti: "Izi nkende zatujemo zizatumarira imbuto."
Inkende zo mu Bwiza zijya gutera inkende zahasuhukiye.
Inkuru muri zo iti: "Kuki turwanira ibiryo kandi dufite ibyaduhaza twese!"
Ibyo koko byari ukuri. Nuko inkende zose ziyemeza kubana mu mahoro.
