Khallekhalle enama khiddari na meto.

Ddethene ddeeta ni ekokhoro.

Athuve yayo yari ni meto, nddo Maguru awinyalleye.

Nllapo nimodda, Maguru apaalla wi inye meto erive enama. Apalla nattho ddeteke.

Allella enama dda mwaholla.

Enama ddhahera, "Ddiddohakalaliha wi niwe ni meto."

Yahiipa ni wiina.

Enamanddo ddahera yari maviho weta mokokhora.

Yaniwa ovoreya.

Mvo mllaponllo naphiyallewa enama ddinchichi ddarowa wi enyumbane ya Maguru.

Raphoyo, photokoma, ethepo, hukulla, ekonya ni epallame ddahemella muzeleni.

Erive enama yahinnyiwa meto nai.

Epallame ddahinnyiwa metto pilli nerive etthene.

Erive eko yasintha echifukwa ya meto.

Ddimodda ddahina woniha ohakallalla. Ddimodda ddamamora.

Ddarowa wi ddonihe waathu.

Enama ddahera, "Khinawattho neta nimakokhoro willi."

Omallihella va mzeleni ari Mongollo. Maguru akoha, "Okhallavo mmoddattho ari muttullini mwawo?"

Mongollo wahera, "Khavo, kiri mekhami."

Maguru aganizella, "Olla ttomallihera. Vano kinerenatti meto dditthetthenendda?"

Maguru ammwinya meto dditthetthene nddo tthahanlle.

Mongollo ahakallalla. Ahera, "Kinayeteke mowakuva mowakhwaranya akhwaka."

Mutulli mwa Mongollo, Enowa yaaphiya onyumbani ya Maguru. Ahera wa Maguru, "Chonde kinnyeni meto."

Maguru eriye, "Kowinnya meto ddittetthene akhwawo, wari wuwi?"

Enowa yallotta, "Kakonelliha."

Maguru avokha mittho wi one nave ddakhallavo meto ddimoddha ddihanlle.

Khaphwanyevo ello.

Maguru allotta wa Enowa, "Pepani. Orive mweto khohanle." Enowa yarowa mokokhora owaniwa.

Ovenyera nllapo nenno, Enowa khinikonesesa. Entiyera ewe yowambella owa vamuzeleni vowakhella meto.
