I-rig yahlanzwa kahle, sonke silayishiwe futhi sakwazi ukuphindela futhi. Nokho ngigcine umsebenzi ongemuhle kakhulu wokugcina: ukulahlwa kwamanzi angcolile.

Ngandlela thize, ngikwazile ukuqasha indodana yami ukuthi isize - ukukhetha okungamshiya enezibazi zaphakade.

Sashayela indawo yethu yokuhlala entsha esiyintandokazi ngamasondo kulo lonke ibhuloho lendawo yokukhempa futhi sazulazula saqonda endaweni ezungezile eholela esiteshini sokulahla. Ngangazi ukuthi indlela yokungcola yayingalungiswanga, ngakho ngangivame ukuhamba kancane. Noma ngangicabanga kanjalo.

Acishe kancane kancane anele umgodi owumhume, ongamafidi ayisithupha ububanzi angizange ngiwuthole kwaze kwaba yilapho sesizungeza kuwo.

Ukuphahlazeka, bang, ukwanda.

Amayunithi okukhiya kazibuthe emakhabetheni aphezulu, okuhle ngaleso sikhathi, awakwazanga ukunyakazisa lokhu. Izitsha nezingilazi zephayinti kufike lapha kundiza ngaphandle, kuthintwa phansi okhuni oluqinile izinzwane ezi-5 ngaphansi. Kube sengathi singene endaweni yesigameko sisuka kufilimu enyakazayo lapho imoto egijimayo igcina ingena efasiteleni elingaphambili kwesitolo.
