Gabar yar ayaa aragtay muuqaal aan lagaraneyn oo masaafo ka muuqdo.

2

Markii uu muuqaalki soo dhowaaday,waxa ay aragtay in ay tahay haweeneyxaamilo culus ah.

3

Xishood laakiin geesi nimo, gabadhiiwaxa ay ku sii dhowaatay haweeneydii.“Waa in ay nala joogtaa,” ayay gabadhadadkeedii go’aansadeen. “Iyada iyoilmaheedaba waa aannu nabadgelinaynaa.”

4

Ilmaha ayaa soo dhakhso ba wadadasoo galay. “Riix!” “Bustayaal lakaalaya!” “Biyo!” “Riiiixxxxxx!!!”

5

Laakiin markii ay ilmihii arkeen, qofwalba gadaal ayuu argagax ugubooday. “Dameer?!”

6

Qof waliba muran ayuu bilaabay.“Waxa aynnu ballan qaadnay in aanilmaha iyo hooyadaba nabad gelyosiinno, waana in aan sidaas yeelnaa,”qaar baa sidaa yiri. “Laakiin waxa aynoo horseedi doonaan nasiib darro!”qaar kale ayaa sidaa iyana yiri.

7

Sidaa darteed haweeneydii waycidlowday mar kale. Waxa ay ka layaabaneyd wixii ay ku sameyn lahaydilmahan qaabka daran. Waxa kale oo ayka la yaabaneyd wixii ay iyaduna iskusameyn lahayd.

8

Aakhirkii waxa ay isku qancisay in ayaqbasho in uu ilmaheedii yahay,iyaduna ay hooyadiis tahay.

9

Hada, hadii uu dameerka ku joogi lahaasidiisi,bar yaraanta,wax walbo waxaanahaan lahaayeen si ka duwan sidan.Laakiin ilmihii dameerka ahaa wuukoray oo koray ilaa uu la ekaan waayaydhabarkii hooyadii. Si kasta oo uu iskudeyay na, waa uu u dhaqmi waayeysidii dadkii oo kale. Hooyadii aad bay udaashay oo waa ay isku buuqday.Marmar waxa ay isku dayday in uu sidaxayawaanka u shaqeeyo.

10

Jahawareer iyo carro ayaa iskugudarsantay dameerkii. Sidan ma yeelikaro sidaana ma yeeli karo. Sidan manoqon karo sidaana ma noqon karo.Mar uu aad u xanaaqay, ayaa uu maalinhooyadii laad ku kiciyey oo dhulka kutuuray.

11

Dameerkii ceeb ayuu dareemay. Waxaaanu bilaabay in uu aad u ordo oo uu ucararo meel fog.

12

Waqtigii uu joojiyay orodkii, habeenbay ahayd, Dameerkiina waa uu lumay.“Haa’i Aaa?” ayuu mugdigi uga dhexgunuunacay. “Haa’i Aaa?” ayuumugdiga ka daba dhahay. Waaxuuahaa mid cidloobay. Intuu iskuduuduubay sidii kubad adag, ayuu ladhacay hurdo dheer oo dhiban.

13

Dameerkii waxa uu toosay isaga oooday la yaab leh hoos usoo eeegayo.Indhihi odayga ayuu eegay waxuu nabillaabay inyar oo rajo ah in uudareemo.

14

Dameerkii waxa uu raacay si uu ulajoogo odagii, kaas oo baray qaababkala duwan oo ah sida loo noolaado.Dameerkii waxa uu noqday mid waxdhageystay oo na wax bartay, sidookale ayuu sameeyay odaygana. Waa ayis caawiyeen, waa ayna wada qosleen siwada jir ah.

15

Subax subaxyada ka mid ah, ayaa uuodagii weyddiistay Dameerkii in uu uqaado buur dhaladeed.

16

Meeel kore oo daruuraha ka mid ahayey hurdo kula dul dhaceen.Dameerkii waxa uu ku riyoodayhooyadiis oo xanuunsanaysa oo isaga uyeeraysa. Markii uu toosay na…

17

… daruurihii ayaa la libdhay asaga iyosaaxiibkiis ba, odayga duqa ahaa.

18

Ugu dambeyntii dameerkii waa uuogaaday waxa in la sameeyo ah.

19

20

Ilmihi dameerka ahaa iyo hooyadii waaay wada koreen waxa ayna heleenqaabab badan oo ay ku wada noolaankaraan midba midka kale dhiniciisa.Tartiib tartiib, dhinacyadooda oo dhan,qoysas ayaa bilaabay in ay soo dagaan.
