Usuku lwemvula
Kwakuwusuku oluhle libalele futhi le ntombazanyana uTina yayilungele ukuphuma iyodlala nabangane bayo. Kodwa ngokuphazima kweso amafu aqala ukushintsha imibala yawo esuka eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eya kompunga… aqala ukukhenceza. Isikhangiso emva kwesikhashana laqala ukuthela (imvula enkulu). UThina wethuka wabuyela endlini yakhe njengoba wayezwa umsindo omkhulu wombani nokuduma.
Umama kaTina wamtshela ukuthi angesabi ukuthi lina kakhulu. Lapho imvula ekugcineni inqamula uThina nomama wakhe baphuma bayoshaywa umoya. UTina wayegqoke ijazi lakhe lemvula, wafaka ama-gumboots akhe futhi umama wathatha isambulela sakhe. Lalilihle izulu kunothingo esibhakabhakeni.
Futhi uyazi lapho bephumela ngaphandle, ukuthi babonani. Babona izinto esizibona ngesikhathi semvula.
Ngesikhathi ehamba eceleni komgwaqo uTina wabona amachibi agcwele amanzi. Waqala ukugxumela kuzo futhi wazijabulisa kakhulu. Lapho eqhubekela phambili kancane wabona ixoxo… Uyafuna ukwazi ukuthi lalicula ngani isele?
Ixoxo elincane, ngisesizibeni,
I-hippity, i-hoppity, i-hop.
Ngibuke ngigxumela phezulu emoyeni,
I-hippity, i-hoppity, i-hop.
UTina wajabula kakhulu futhi watshela umama wakhe ukuba ahambe epaki elihle eliluhlaza. Lapho wabona inyoka enkulu ende. …. U-“S” ngowenyoka eshibilika. Kusho u’Ssssss’ inyoka icula ingoma yayo.
UThina wabona umuntu ecashe ngaphansi kweqabunga, uyazi ukuthi bekungubani. Kwakuyi-centipede. Icentipede yenza i-squirm encane, kukhona obone umlenze wami uma ungatholakali kuzofanele ngizule ngizungeza kwamanye amashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye.
Manje intombazanyana uTina waqala ukuzizwa elambile kakhulu ngakho umama wakhe wathatha ummbila esikhwebuni kumthengisi owayewosa. Wakhama ulamula futhi wajabulela ukuwudla. UThina waqala ukucula ngenjabulo.
Imibalabala futhi imnandi,
Ngicabanga ukuthi uyinto engiyithanda kakhulu ukudla.
Okuwolintshi nokumhlophe nokuphuzi futhi,
Ummbila uswidi kumnandi kakhulu ukuwuhlafuna.
Ngemva kokuqeda umbila uTina wahlangana nesinambuzane sihlezi phezu kogodo esinamachashaza amnyama emzimbeni. Uyazi ukuthi kwakungubani? Kwakuyi-ladybug.
Imbungulu Imbungulu esihlahleni,
Ndizela lapha futhi uhlale nami.
Hlala esandleni sami, ngizobala izindawo zakho, 2, 4, 6, 8 amachashazi e-polka!
UTina wabona izinto eziningi kakhulu ngenkathi yemvula njengezinambuzane, icentipede, ummbila, inyoka, ixoxo nezimbali ezinhle ezikhazimula nxazonke. Umama wakhe watshela uTina ukuthi lingase line kakhulu futhi ngakho-ke asibuyele ekhaya ngokushesha futhi uyazi izingane ekugcineni endleleni ebuyela ekhaya zabona ipigogo elihle lidansa.
