Ng’wana Nkuba uhaya igugupandika ni Ngudu utali ugushiga. Padri uhaya, “Nagugwinha shilingi jihumbi jimo, ulu mbula yunipandika mu nzila.

Ng’wana Nkuba uhaya nang’hwe, “Ugusola ng’ombe ulu idugupandika.” Padri ubacha gali yakwe ulaga na guja. Ng’wana Nkuba ugasoseja ijibhiga jakwe nang’hwe, ikanza idololo mbula yandya kutula nu padri adinashiga ni Ngudu.
