"Ngya kwambala luno ku mutwe," Kyagaba ne yakoba.
"Buli muntu goberera amateeka gange. Ti mumbuuza nze!" Yaghoghoigana.

Aye akagoye Kyagaba keyeesiba ku mutwe, kaali kamutipye.
Yaagema ku mabwa ag'okumutwe. Amalike gaagema ku mitwe goona.
"Kino kiluma," Kyagaba ne yakoba. "Kino kiluma." Byoona byairamu kyene ekyo.
"Kino kinhwevu!" kino kinhwevu," era baibira.
