Kungathini ukuba umnenga uyandiginya elwandle?
“Ngoko ke mna nosisi wakho uKamo
siya kudada singene emlonyeni womnenga sikuhlangule.”
Kungathini ukuba mna andikwazi ukucula uABC baze abanye abantwana bandihleke?
“Ngoko ke utisthalakazi uJill uya kukunceda ukhumbule.”
Kungathini ukuba ndiyoyika ukuya kugqirha wamazinyo ngomso?
“Ndiza kuba ndikhona ndibambe
isandla sakho.”
Wonke umntu ukhe oyike.
Umama uthi kulungile.
