ULucy waphaphama.
Udadewabo, uThabi,
wayengekho embhedeni wakhe.
“Ukuphi uThabi?” uLucy ebuza kuMama.
“UThabi
usekhishini udla isidlo sasekuseni.”
“Akuyena uThabi!
Yimvubu leya!”
ULucy wacinga yonke indlu.
“Ukuphi uThabi?”
uLucy ebuza uBaba.
“UThabi uyabhukuda
echibini.”
“Akuyena uThabi!
Yimvubu leya!”
ULucy waqhubeka ebheka
ezungeza esivandeni.
“Ukuphi uThabi?”
uLucy ebuza
kumakhelwane.
“UThabi uyadlala
epaki.”
“Akuyena uThabi!
Yimvubu leya!”
Emva kwalokho uLucy wezwa
umsinjwana ongejwayelekile.
Wabe esekitiza imvubu kakhulu.
“Nanguya uThabi!”
“Ngiyabonga,” kusho uThabi.
“Kunesidina ukuba ngaphakathi
kwemvubu.”
That's not Thabi
Akuyena uThabi! Yimvubu leya!
