Watu-X #2 (The X-Men #2)

Watu-X dhidi ya Mtowekaji (The X-Men versus the Vanisher)
Hakuna awezaye kumshika Mtowekaji (No one can hold the Vanisher)

Mtowekaji, mwovu mwenye jeni-X aliye na uwezo wa kujihamisha kutoka mahali pamoja kwenda pengine papo hapo, aliibia benki ya taifa na kusaliti Pembetano (makao makuu ya jeshi la Marekani). Watu-X wampinga yeye alipokuwa akiibia ramani za ulinzi wa serikali. Hata hivyo, hawakuweza kupigana na mhalifu huyo, kwa sababu akajihamisha nje ya masafa. Profesa X aliwaokoa kwa kumzuia Mtowekaji asitumie uwezo wake wa pekee kwa kutumia akili yake tu.

The Vanisher, an evil mutant with the power of teleportation (to transport himself from one place to another in an instant), robbed the national bank and blackmailed the Pentagon (the main headquarters of the American army). The X-Men face him, as he was stealing the government's defense plans. However, they were unable to fight this villain, because he teleported out of range. Professor X saved them by preventing the Vanisher from using his mutant powers with only his mind.

Watu-X #1 (The X-Men #1)

Watu-X dhidi ya Magneto (The X-Men versus Magneto)

Katika shule maalum ya binafsi katika wilaya ya Westchester, Profesa Charles Xavier afundisha jamii maalum ya vijana wanne wa kiume, kila mtu mwenye uwezo utokanao na jeni-X. Baada ya kuwaangalia kwa makini wakifanya mazoezi yao, Xavier aliwaambia wanafunzi wake: Malaika, Mtu wa Barafu, Hayawani na Saiklopsi, kwamba mwanafunzi wa tano atafika leo. 

In a special private school in Westchester county, Professor Charles Xavier teaches a special class of young men, each one with a mutant power. After carefully watching them do their exercises, Xavier told his students: Angel, Iceman, Beast and Cyclops, that the fifth student will arrive today.

Kwa furaha yao, vijana wanne waona kwamba mwanafunzi mpya ni msichana mrembo sana mwenye nywele nyekundu. Jina lake ni Jean Grey na akakaribishwa vizuri kwenye jumba lao la ghorofa. Vijana wanne wakashangaa kwa urembo wake. Jean alipowaonyesha uwezo wake wa kusongeza vifaa kwa akili yake (uwezo unaojulikana kama telekinesisi), Profesa X, aliye pia na nguvu za pekee mwenyewe, alimwambia yeye kuhusu nia halisi ya shule yake. 

To their delight, the four young men see that the new student is a very beautiful redheaded girl. Her name is Jean Grey and was then welcomed into their mansion. The four young men were amazed by her beauty. After Jean showed them her power to move objects with her mind (a power known as telekinesis), Professor X, who also has special powers himself, told her about the real purpose of his school. 

Kwanza, shule hiyo ni mahali pa usalama kwa watu wote wenye jeni-X, kwa sababu ubinadamu bado hauko tayari kukubali watu wenye uwezo wa ajabu kama wao; hata hivyo, shule hiyo pia hufanya kazi kama uwanja wa mazoezi ili kuwatayarisha wanafunzi wake wanaojulikana kama Watu-X kwa vita vijavyo dhidi ya waovu wenye jeni-X wanaojiangalia kuwa na cheo cha juu zaidi kuliko cha binadamu wa kawaida na wanataka kuwatawala. 

First of all, the school is a safe haven for all mutants, because humanity is not yet ready to accept people with superpowers like theirs; however, this school also serves as a training field in order to prepare his students who are known as the X-Men for future battles against evil mutants who view themselves as having a higher rank than that of regular humans and want to rule them.

Siku inayofuata mwenye jeni-X mmoja kama hao kwa jina la Magneto alikishambulia kituo cha makombora “Rasi ya Ngome”, na alikijitwalia. Xavier akawatuma Watu-X wamsimamishe. Kwa sababu ya ngao za kisumaku zilizoumbwa na Magneto, jeshi halikuweza kuingia ndani kituo. Magneto hakuweko tayari kupigana na watu wengine wenye jeni-X, kwa hivyo vijana watano wa Watu-X walifaulu na wakashinda mashambulio yote ya Magneto kwa kazi ya kikoa. Ingawa Magneto alitoroka, jeshi liliwashukuru Watu-X. Mwishowe Profesa X aliwahongeza wanafunzi wake kwa ushindi wao wa kwanza.

The following day a mutant like that by the name of Magneto attacked the "Cape Citadel" missile base, and he seized it for himself. Xavier sent the X-Men to stop him. Because of the magnetic shield created by Magneto, the army was unable to get into the base. Magneto was not ready to fight other mutants, so the five young X-Men succeeded and defeated all of Magneto's attacks with teamwork. Although Magneto escaped, the army thanked the X-Men. In the end, Professor X congratulated his students on their first victory.

Hata hivyo, katika mitholojia ya Kigiriki vinyamkela ni nimfi ambao pia huitwa “driadi”. Vinyamkela hivi huwa warembo sana na watulivu. Kuna aina zingine za driadi waitwao “hamadriadi”. Hamadriadi wazaliwa wakiwa na kifungo kwa mti wa pekee. Iwapo mti ukifa, hamadriadi aliyehusishwa nao atafa vilevile. Kwa sababu hiyo, driadi na miungu huadhibu binadamu yeyote anayedhuru miti.

 

In Swahili folk-tales, tree spirits are evil sprites that are believed to live in baobab trees and other large trees. However, in Greek mythology tree spirits are nymphs who are also called "dryads". These tree spirits are very beautiful and peaceful. There are other types of dryads called "hamadryads". Hamadryads are born with a bond to a particular tree. If the tree dies, the hamadryad associated with it will die as well. For that reason, dryads and gods punish any mortal who harms trees.

Vitunusi vya Kiswahili hutafuta damu ya binadamu na baada ya kunyonya damu kutoka kwa waathiriwa wao, huwazamisha katika majini. Viumbe hivi wanafanana na sireni wa mitholojia ya Kigiriki.

Kati ya vyakula wanavyopenda ni uji na asali. Watatoka kwa nyumba iwapo zawadi zao zikiitwa malipo; au kama wenye nyumba wakiwatumia vibaya. Brauni hutengeneza nyumba zao kwenye sehemu za nyumba zisizotumika. Neno “brauni” halifai kukanganywa na keki ndogo ya chokoleti inayojulikana kwa jina hilo.

Brownies are said to inhabit houses and help with housework. However, they do not like to be seen and thus work only at night, traditionally in exchange for small gifts or food. Porridge and honey are among the foods that they like. They will abandon the house when their gifts are called payments; or if the owners of the home misuse them. Brownies make their homes in unused parts of the house. The word "brownie" should not be confused with the little chocolate cake known by the same name.

Hobgoblins are friendly but troublesome goblins, sometimes called a "bogey". While brownies are more peaceful creatures, hobgoblins are pranksters and fond of practical jokes and have the ability to shape-shift. In The Lord of the Rings books, hobgoblins are a larger, stronger, smarter and more menacing form of goblin. In the Spider-Man comicbook series, the villain named Hobgoblin is an imitation of the Green Goblin, but with yellow skin and hooded in a yellow-orange cloak in contrast to his predecessor.

Scandinavian goblins are called trolls; however unlike regular goblins, trolls cannot shape-shift. A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folk-tales. Trolls normally dwell in rocks, mountains, or caves, and live together in small families and are rarely of any use to humans. Trolls are described as being extremely old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as man-eaters and turn to stone upon exposure to sunlight.
