Umsebenti lolandzelako kuhlanganisa luhlamvu i neluhlamvu t kute sakhe ligama letfu lekucala, lelitsi it, sabito sesiNgisi lesingakhombi muntfu. Futsi, kudzala, ligama it belisetjentiselwa bantfwana, kodvwa nyalo asisalisebentisi kanjalo. Kodvwa eminyakeni lengaba ngu-200 leyendlulile, nangabe ubufundza incwadzi, bantfu bebakhuluma ngelusana njenge-it. Futsi nyalo sikhuluma ngetilwane nje njenge-it, nangematafula netihlalo. Nobe kunjalo, sekwanele ngemlandvo weligama it.

Ngako nakhu lotakwenta. Sibonelo sikhona lapho.

Sesivele siyati ngema-engela nangetikhala. Sikhuphuka kancane, sehle ngemandla, bese senta umdvwebo wetfu lomncane losheshako, bese sichubeka sikhuphuka kancane, bese sikhuphukela eluhlamvwini t, sehle ngemandla, bese siphetsa ngemdvwebo lomncane losheshako ngaphambi nje kwemugca. Bese siyabuyela emuva, sifake lichashati eluhlamvwini lwetfu i futsi sidvwebe umugca lowela luhlamvu t, nasesicedzile.

Ngako sinemidvwebo lemibili, futsi yehlukene. Lomunye nguluhlamvu i, lolukhuphuka nje luye emugceni, bese lwehla ngemandla, luphetse ngemdvwebo lomncane losheshako; bese kuba sihlanganisi, lesikhuphukako, futsi sikhuphukela etulu kakhulu. Bese siyehla sicondzile, singagobi, sicondzile, kodvwa ne-engela lefanako neyeluhlamvu i, bese siphetsa ngemdvwebo lomncane losheshako ngentasi, bese sifaka lichashati futsi sidvweba umugca lowelako. Bese siyaphindza. Senta luhla lweligama it.

Njengoba sichubeka, hlola kutsi tinhlamvu takho atehleli ngaphansi kwemugca. Hlola ngerula kutsi ema-engela ayafana. Ungakwenta loko ngekudvweba imigca idzabule tinhlamvu takho, bese utawubona kahle kutsi ema-engela akho alungile yini. Akukho lokubi ngaloko. Tsatsa nje lipensela nobe lokunye, utsatse irula, ubeke irula emugceni lomkhulu weluhlamvu lwakho bese udvweba umugca udzabule kulo; wente ube mudze. Bese utawubona kahle kakhulu kutsi ema-engela akho ayalingana yini futsi ayafana. Ngoba ungatikhohlisa nangabe ungakwenti loko, ucabange kutsi konkhe kulungile kantsi akunjalo.

Futsi ciniseka kutsi tikhala tetinhlamvu takho tiyalingana. Ngako luhlamvu lwakho i neluhlamvu lwakho t kufanele tibe nesikhala lesifanako emkhatsini wato njalo nawubhala ligama it. Futsi etama kugcina tikhala emkhatsini wemagama tifana. Ungasebentisa sikhala lesingangemunwe emkhatsini wemagama nangabe ufuna kulinganisa.
