Lena leyayihlanyelwe emhlabatsini lovundzile ifanekisa lowo lolivako livi, alicondze, bese utsela titselo: lomunye ngelikhulu, lomunye ngema-60, nalomunye ngema-30.”

Kuhlanyelwa kwenhlanyelo emanyeveni kusho labalivako livi lembuso, kodvwa tinhlupheko macondzana nalemphilo nelutsandvo lwebunjinga kuyaye kuliminyetele livi bangabe basatsela titselo.

Bantfu labatsi nabeva livi lembuso kepha bangete balicondza, bayaye befikelwe nguLomubi, abemuke loko bekuhlanyelwe etinhlitiyweni tabo: loko-ke kusho inhlanyelo leyayihlanyelwe endleleni.

Kuhlanyelwa kwenhlanyelo emhlabatsini losemadvwaleni kusho labo labalivako livi lembuso balemukele masinyane ngekujabula. Kepha ngekubate timphandze letijulile etinhlitiyweni tabo, bahlala sikhashana nje. Kutsi kungavela tinhlupheko nome kutingelwa ngenca yelivi, bese bahlubuka masinyane.

“Umbuso welizulu ufanana nemcebo lofihlwe ensimini. Kwenteka indvodza yawutfola, yabuye yawugcibedzela. Yajabula kangangekuba yahamba yayawutsengisa ngako konkhe leyayinako yancandzeka, yayawutsenga leyo nsimi.”

Kodvwa lenye yawela emhlabatsini lovundzile, yatsela titselo: lenye ngelikhulu, lenye ngema-60, lenye ngema-30.

Yekelani nje kukhule kokubili ndzawonye, kuze kube sikhatsi sekuvuna, kuvunwe; nasekuvunwa ngitawutjela labavunako kutsi babutse lukhula kucala, balubophe tincumbi, kuze lutewushiswa; bese-ke nibutsela emabele ndzawonye esiteni sami.’ ”
