﻿Chungu  kilichokufa  

Biantaka alikuwa  na ng'ombe.  Alikuwa pia na  chungu kidogo cha  maji.  
Alienda kwa jirani  yake kuomba  chungu kikubwa.  
Biantaka aliweka  chungu kidogo  ndani ya kile  kikubwa.  
Alivibeba vyungu  vyote akampelekea  jirani yake.  
Biantaka  alimwambia jirani,  "Chungu chako  kilizaa."  
Biantaka alirudi  kwa jirani kuomba  chungu tena.  
Hakukirejesha.  Jirani aliamua  kwenda  kumwuliza.  
Biantaka alisema,  "Kilikufa. Nilikuwa  najitayarisha kuja  kukwambia."  
Jirani alipiga kelele,  "Sijawahi kusikia  chungu kikifa!"  
Biantaka alijibu,  "Rafiki yangu, kila  kitu kinachozaa  lazima kife."  
Jirani alienda  mahakamani  kumshtaki  Biantaka.  
Hakimu alisema,  "Kila kiumbe hai  kinachozaa, lazima  kife."  
Biantaka alipata  chungu kikubwa.  Jirani yake  akakipoteza  chungu chake.
