Saka Mambo Mbada osarudza sei muteveri wake? Aida mhuri yake yemhuka dzese zvakafanana.
Mambo Mbada akafunga zano. Akatuma nhume dzake mumasango kuti vanodaidza mhuka dzese kuti dziungane pamuzinda pamambo.
Akagadzirira mabiko makuru apo aizopa chiziviso chikuru. Nhume dzakamhanya dzikaenda sango rese.

Husiku wemabiko mhuka dzese dzakaungana pamuzinda wamambo. Dzakaimba, dzikatamba, dzikava nenguva yakanaka kwazvo.
Kuzoti mwedzi wati kwirei, wabuda pamusoro pemiti, Mambo Mbada akauya akamira pakati pakanga pasina miti. Mhuka dzakabva dzamira kuimba nekutamba. Dzakateerera dzakati zii kunyarara apo mambo akatanga kutaura.

Akaita kakosoro kekugadzira izwi rake, "Ndanga ndichifunga kuti nguva yekusarudza mutevedzeri wangu yakwana. Asi nekuti ndinokudayi mese zvakafanana, handigone kusarudza kuti ndiani pakati penyu mese akakodzera. Saka ndafunga kuita makwikwi."
Mambo Mbada akasumudza pfumo. Akati, "Anotanga kukanda pfumo iri mudenga overenga kusvika kugumi pfumo risati radonha pasi ndiye anogara nhaka yeumambo."
Achingopedza kutaura, mhuka dzakanzwa ruzha rwuchibva nekumashure. Dzakatendeuka ndokuona Nzou achikanyaira achiuya kumberi.
"Suduruka ndipinde. Ndini mukuru ini, ndini ndinofanira kuita mambo," akadaro Nzou.
"Suduruka ndipinde. Ndini mukuru ini, ndini ndinofanira kuita mambo," akadaro Nzou.

"Motsi! Piri! Tatu! Oh!" akaridza mhere Nzou.
"Motsi! Piri! Tatu! Oh!" akaridza mhere Nzou.
Kuzoti Nzou abva, dzimwe mhuka dzakatanga kutaura dzichifara. Dzakabva dzanzwa rumwe ruzha rwuchibva neshure kwadzo.
Nguruve akauya achikanyaira achiti, "Suduruka, suduruka ndipinde apo. Ndini ndirikuzoita mambo. Ndine mhasuru dzinokunda dzemhuka dzese ini, ndine simba kudarika mhunhu wese. Ndini ndinofanira kuita mambo."

Nguruve akarerekera kugotsi, ndokuriti pfumo dzvii, ndokuripotsera mudenga. "Motsi! Piri! Tatu! China! Chishanu! Oh!" akaridza mhere.
Pfumo rakadonha avakuverenga kechitanhatu. Akashatirwa zvikuru. Akapupira ndokutimba pasi nemoromo achikanda madhaka mudenga.
Mbada akamuudza achiti, "Nguruve, unemukana mumwechete chete wekukanda pfumo, zvakwana." Nguruve akabva aenda.

Vakaona rino gorira richiuya mberi. Achifamba kudaro, Gorira aiti, "Ndinozvigona ini, ndinozvigona izvi."
Gorira akatora pfumo ndokudzokera shure zvishoma. Akadzosera ruoko rwake shure, ndokudauka achienda mberi, ndokuurukira mudenga ndokubva arikanda pfumo rakananga mudenga.
"Motsi! Piri! Tatu! China! Chishanu! Chitanhatu! Chinomwe! Oh!" akabva aridza mhere.

Dzimwe mhuka dzakabva dzakanda mabhachi pamapendekete dzonanga kumba. Pavainge voenda kudaro, vakaona mhara kachipfekenyedza kachiuya kumberi. Kachimhanya zvinyoronyoro kudaro, kakati, "Mirai, mirai. Regai ndiedze. Ndinozvikwanisa ini. Regai ndiedze."
Mhuka padzakanzwa izvi, dzese dzakatanga kuseka.

Mhara akatyora muzura pamberi pamambo, ndokutendeuka, ndokutora pfumo nemoromo. Akadududza shure, nesimba rekamuviri kake rose akatanga kumhanya. Asvika pasina miti, akauruka.
Akafema zvinesimba, ndokuritepfenura pfumo ndokudaidzira. "Chishanu nechimwe chishanu zvinoita gumi." Pfumo rakabva radonha pasi.
