Khucha khulukano.

We are going to a story.

Ese Wamalwa Daudi.

I am Wamalwa Daudi.

Mbola ndi khaale.

I am saying that, long ago.

Omundu kabao nende akona mwa kukhu.

There was a person who was sleeping at the grandmothers side.

Mala kukhu yuno.

And this grandmother.

Kalomanga ali cha undenyere bisanju.

She used to say, "go and fetch firewood for me"

Oli niocha.

When she went.

Kamayo arenya noli nio kukhuwe aloma ali.

She would come back from fetching and the the grandmother would say.

Aah ano anjakala saunjakalakho, ali tawe khubele khuleka liliewe.

"This place is itching, would you scratch me" on ignoring her.

Ali ese nenya omundu wekamatere kamoki.

She said I want someone with sharp nails.

Nee omwichukhulu wewe yuno.

And her grandchild.

Afuna khasala.

She broke the stick.

Kukhu sawalolele ta.

The grandmother was not looking.

Ali nono njakale ano khumukongo khuno nekanja khukhwakalila khasala ali eeh litere elio saliokiya.

She said now scratch on my back, she started scratching with that stick and she wondered how sharp that nail was.

Khane ali khabeya kukhuwe salili litere ta lusanju.

Apparently she was lying to grandmother, it was not a nail but a stick.

Nekakalila lusanju.

She scratched with the stick.

Nono kukhuwe waloma aah oli kekolola litere elio liokiya.

So the grandmother said, when she stretched that the nail was too sharp.

Ali tawe nilio lilayi kukhu.

She said, "now that is the good one grandmother"

Wakalanga wakalanga wanyuma oyo wanja khwibena embala yechao ali aah.

She scratched until she started bleeding and a scar developed.

Omwana oyo sali omurabora ta.

That child is not good.

Nono nowenya burabora.

So if you want to be good.

Okhacha wakalila kukhuwo lusanju ta, wakalila litere.

You should not scratch your grandmother with a stick, you should use a nail.
