Cesar agamba nti: “Twalongoosa ggalagi yaffe ne tutandika okusula omwo ate ennyumba yaffe ennene gye twali tusulamu ne tugipangisa omuntu omulala. Okukola enkyukakyuka ezo kyatuyamba okuba abeetegefu okugenda okuweereza ku Beseri nga tuyitiddwa.” Kiki ekyaddirira? Rocio agamba nti: “Bwe twatandika okusula mu ggalagi, waayitawo omwezi gumu gwokka ne tuyitibwa okugenda okuweereza mu Wallkill ng’Ababeseri abatali ba nkalakkalira. Twakiraba nti Yakuwa yatuwa emikisa olw’okuba twalina kye twali tukozeewo okusobola okutuuka ku kiruubirirwa kyaffe.”

Twali twagala, Jacob afune emikwano emirungi.” Kyokka ekibiina kye baafuna, kyalimu abaana batono nnyo naye nga mulimu Ababeseri bangi.
