Description: The story of 'Sonko's revenge' is about a combat between Leg Seen (Hare) and Bukki (Hyena). Through this tale, people in underdeveloped countries can learn about how to better protect wells, especially their water supply. But it is also for those in developed countries: their attention is drawn to the difficulties encountered by millions of poor people who are their neighbors on the planet. Educators will find that well hygiene and water purity are fundamental lessons to teach.

Un combat entre leg seen le lièvre et bukki l'hyène à travers ce conte qui éduque les populations des pays sous développés à protéger davantage les puits voire l'eau des puits. Mais aussi une sensibilisation est faite aux pays développés afin de maitriser les difficultés rencontrées par des millions de pauvres qui sont leurs voisins. L'hygiène des puits et la pureté de son eau doivent donc être pour les éducateurs une des leçons fondamentales à enseigner.

Léeb bii képp hu ko jàng di nga xam ni ñuy aaree teen, bandoxam sell. Dina mën a nekk yit, di nettali léeb wi, bu nekkee ciy rakkam, ak ay magam ak yit ay dëkkandoom. Ndongo yi dëkk ci réew yu néew doole yi, ñoo gën nu bind léeb wi. Ndax ci yooyu réew, di fexe bay am ndox mu sell bés bu jot, nekk na seen yité. Wànte yit léeb wi, bind nanu ko, ngir ndongo yi dëkk ci réew yu oomle yi. Ngir ñoom, ñu gën a xam, jafe-jafe yi seeni moroom yi nekke ci addina si, di am, ta mat ay milyon̲.

Noom it dinañu xamaale ne, ci seen réew yu oomle yi sax, war nañuy aar ndox mi. Wàll wi mujj ci téere bi, tegtal la guy yombal am njàngale. Nu jagleel ko jàngalekat yi.
