Bali nakholo kemba khusuli kalanga enjala ebuwanga. Bali mbe ndie, bali cholie Mombasa.

That the bird stood on the nest and called about famine to the Wanga. Give me clues. They gave Mombasa as a clue.

Ali napa kwabuyabuya ali nendomile ndi nakholo kema khusuli kalanga enjala ebuwanga.

Aba chimbeba khulucho, esese kumunaii kwase kwafwila abeo.

Nabola ndo chimbeba khulucho.Chimbeba chino chabona bafukile khuluchookhwo.

I talked about the rats on the cooking pot. The rats realized food had been cooked from the pot.

Kimiandu kiang'eng'ile sa kiri nechichakho.

The food remains was attractive.

Chilikho chisakara busa sakara sakara mala we munju aloma ali aah basie.

The rats were makig the scratching noises which distured the house owner.

Nendi wamwene oli wafukile chimbeba chabone kimiandu khechilia chikhoya chili khane omulosi yuno omulayi.

She had left the pot on the surface and the rats were celebrating while feeling she was a good person.

Akhubikhilanga biakhulia nono sendi nekamali ta.

Because she keeps the food for rats.
