Nimekumbuka wakati mmoja nikiwa shule ya msingi ambapo tulikuwa tumepiga kelele wakati wa masomo. sasa mwalimu kaja katupata kukipiga kelele na adhabu yake ilikuwa kuchapwa kwa kijiti sehemu zetu za nyuma. basi ilipotimia wakati wa yule kijana mwenzangu kuchapwa, mwalimu akamshika na alipoinua kijiti kijana kapanua mdomo akalia kwa sauti ya juu eti' woi woi woi mwalimu usinichape niko sundo'

Haya nami nawaulizeni mnambie yaitwaje kwa kiswahili
