Akati atenderana navashandi kuvapa dhenari pazuva, akavatuma kumunda wake wemidzambiringa. “Akabuda nenguva inenge yechitatu, akaona vamwe vamire padare, vasina basa, akati kwavari, ‘Endai imiwo mumunda wemidzambiringa, ndigokupai zvakafanira.’ Vakaenda. Akabudazve nenguva inenge yechitanhatu neyepfumbamwe, akadarozve. Akabuda nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe, akawana vamwe vamire; akati kwavari, ‘Makamirireiko pano zuva rose musina basa.’ Vakati kwaari, ‘Nokuti hapana nomunhu akatipa basa.’ Akati kwavari, ‘Endai nemiwo mumunda wangu wemidzambiringa.’ Ava madekwana, mwene womunda wemidzambiringa akati kumutariri wake, ‘Dana vashandi, uvape mubayiro wavo, uchitanga kunowokupedzisira, ugumire kune wokutanga.’ “Zvino venguva inenge yegumi neimwe vakati vachiuya, mumwe nomumwe akapiwa dhenari. Vokutanga vakati vachiuya, vakafunga kuti tichapiwa kupfuura; ivo vakapiwawo mumwe nomumwe dhenari. Vakati vachipiwa, vakapopotera saimba, vakati, ‘Ava vokupedzisira, vakashanda awa imwechete, mavaenzanisa nesu, takatambudzika zuva rose, tichipiswa nezuva.’
