Kufunga upholi

Indaba kapholi othuka inhlamba

Sasinopholi uChika, owayethanda inhlamba. Isikhathi esidlule esinzima sathinteka: ngaphambi kwalokho wayehlala nabantu abaphuza kakhulu.

Wayevame ukuhlala phambi kwesibuko athi: “UChica muhle.” Konke kwakuhamba kahle inqobo nje uma bevumelana naye. Kodwa ngokushesha nje lapho uyeka ukwenza lokhu, ungezwa ngokushesha izinto eziningi ezithakazelisayo ezibhekiswe kuwe.

Yile nyoni eyangifundisa ukusebenzisa inhlamba.

Ngesinye isikhathi savakashelwa uthisha wami wekilasi, uthisha ongumFulentshi. UChika wahlangana naye ephaseji futhi wamemeza kakhulu: “US*** umtholile!” Zama ukuchaza ukuthi konke lokhu kuyizimpawu zesikhathi esidlule esinzima, futhi siwumndeni ohlakaniphile hhayi nje ngaphandle.
