Nyuchi neShiri yeTsoro 🔊

Kare kare zvakako, Nyuchi naShiri yeTsoro vaiva shamwari dzepedyo dzaiimbira pamwe chete mumasango.

Long ago, Honeybee and the Honeyguide bird (Tsoro) were close friends who sang together in the woodlands.

Nyuchi aishanda zuva rose achiunganidza muto wemaruva nekugadzira uchi hunotapira mumukoko wake.

Honeybee worked from dawn to dusk gathering flower nectar and crafting golden honey inside her hollow-tree hive.

Rimwe zuva Tsoro akabatsira Nyuchi kurinda mukoko, Nyuchi akavimbisa kumupa zana reuchi nenamho.

One day Tsoro helped guard the hive from raiders, and Honeybee promised to share a comb of wax and honey.

Uchi pahwakaibva, Nyuchi akaramba kugovera shamwari yake achiti, "Uchi hwangu unotapira kwazvo, handikupi!"

When the honey was ready, Honeybee broke her promise and said, "My honey is far too sweet to share with you!"

Shiri yeTsoro yakarwadziwa mwoyo ikati, "Kubva nhasi ndichadaidza vanhu vagouya kuzotora uchi hwako!"

Heartbroken, Tsoro declared, "From today onward, I shall call humans and guide them straight to your hidden hives!"

Tsoro akabhururuka achiimba "Tse-tse-tse!" pamberi pevavhimi kusvikira avasvitsa pamuti waiva nemukoko weuchi.

Tsoro fluttered from branch to branch calling "Tse-tse-tse!" ahead of the villagers until he led them to the bee tree.

Vanhu vakatora uchi vakasiyira Shiri yeTsoro zana renamho semutemo wechinyakare. Ndipo pakafira sarungano. Chidzidzo: Chengeta vimbiso yako!

The harvesters gathered honey and respectfully left a honeycomb for Tsoro as custom demands. Moral: Always honor your word!
