Tsono yaGondo neHuku 🔊

Kare kare zvakako, Huku naGondo vaiva shamwari dzepamwoyo dzaigara mune rugare vachibhururuka pamwe chete.

Long ago, Hen and Eagle were close friends living in peace, soaring together in the skies.

Vana veHuku vakanga vasina mapapiro akasimba, saka Huku yakakwereta tsono yakapinza kuna Gondo kuti aisonere vana vayo mbatya dzemapapiro.

Hen's chicks had weak wings, so Hen borrowed Eagle's sharp needle to sew feathers and wings for them.

Gondo akati, "Tsono iyi ndiyo yega yandinayo, chengeta zvakanaka!" Huku akavimbisa kuti aichichengeta nemoyo wose.

Eagle warned, "This is the only needle I possess—guard it with care!" Hen promised faithful care.

Huku yapedza kusona, tsono yakatsvedza pamunwe wayo ndokuwira mumadhaka! Huku yakatanga kukwenya pasi ichivhunduka.

When Hen finished sewing, the needle slipped from her fingers into the dirt! In panic, Hen began scratching the earth.

Gondo paakadzoka akakumbira tsono yake. Huku akabvunda achiti, "Ndimirireiwo ndichitsvaga tsono yenyu pasi!"

Eagle returned and asked for his needle. Hen trembled and cried, "Please wait, I am still searching the ground for it!"

Gondo akatsamwa zvikuru akati, "Mazuva ose andinokuona uchikwenya pasi usina kuiwana, ndichadzika ndichitora mwana wako sechitsidzo!"

Eagle grew furious and said, "Every day I find you scratching the dirt without my needle, I will swoop down and take a chick!"

Ndosaka nanhasi Huku ichingokwenya pasi ichitsvaga tsono yaGondo. Ndipo pakafira sarungano. Chidzidzo: Chengetedza zvawakakweretwa!

That is why hens scratch the earth to this day looking for Eagle's needle. That is where our storyteller rests. Moral: Protect borrowed things!
