Futhi kuzoba namahlumela amasha ezihlahleni. Yebo! Ngizoyogijima!” Ngabopha izicathulo zami zokugijima ezindala ngaqonda emnyango. Amadodana ami amabili angibuka ngamehlo amakhulu, ekhamisile.\n\nNgemuva kwalokho ngacabanga ukuthi, “Manje sengingazibiza ngomgijimi!” Ngangizizwa ngijabule usuku lonke.
