Wavulana na Vyura (The Boys and the Frogs)

Wavulana na Vyura
Walikuwa wavulana wakicheza kando la ziwa. Mchezo wao ndio kutupa mawe majini, hivyo wakaumiza sana vyura viliomo ziwani. Mwishoni, chura mmoja, hodari kuliko wenzake, akainua kichwa chake ziwani akasema, “Ee, wangwana rafiki zangu, acheni, nawasihi, kwani mchezo wenu ni mauti yetu.”

The Boys and the Frogs

There were boys playing playing by the lake. Their game involved throwing stones into the water and as a result hurt the frogs that were in the lake. Finally, one frog, braver than the others, lifted up his head out of the lake and said. "Hey, my beloved friends, stop, I beg you, because your game is our death!"
