UBaba uvalelisa kuTumi. “Uziphathe kahle namhlanje. Ungangeni egumbini lami. Ungakhulumi noPholi onguPhathu.”

“Sawubona,” kusho uTumi. UPhathu, uPholi, uyazithulela nje. Ngabe yini le esekhejini likaPhathu? Yimpempe egcwele uthuli!

UTumi uyayesula ize ihlanzeke bese eyifutha. “Sawubona, wena wangasenhla,” kusho uPholi onguPhathu, “Ngizokwenzela

noma yikuphi okufisayo okuthathu.” UTumi ulunywa yisisu. Usedle amaswidi amaningi kakhulu. “Tumi! Angikwazi ukungena,

umnyango awuvuleki.” Usebuyile phela uBaba. “Ngabe uke wakhuluma noPholi onguPhathu, Tumi?” UTumi useyesaba.

PHUFU! PHUFU! “Ngifisa … sengathi wonke la maswidi anganyamalala.” “Ngifisa … sengathi ngabe nginawo wonke …

amaswidi akhona emhlabeni.”  “Ngifisa … “Tumi!” UBaba ulunguza ngefasitela. Into kuphela ayibonayo wulwandle.

“Wenzeni-ke manje?” UPholi onguPhathu uyahleka. “UTumi ubefisa sengathi ungaba nezigidi zamaRandi ukuze ube nendlu

enkulu bese yena ebe negumbi lakhe lokulala.” Inkinga nje ukuthi akashongo ukuthi ibe kuphi nendawo! UBaba akajabulile

neze. “Awulaleli.  Ugange njengaye. Kuhlale kugcwele ubuqili nje kulo pholi.”  PHUFU! Esalele embhedeni wakhe ngalobo

busuku, uTumi uyacabanga, “Isifiso sami sesithathu kumele sibe sihle.”
