Kana vakati, “Handei tose; ngativandirei munhu timuuraye; ngativandirei mweya usina mhosva; ngativamedzei vari vapenyu, seguva, uye vakakwana kudaro savaya vanodzika mugomba; tichawana marudzi ose ezvinhu zvinokosha tigozadza dzimba dzedu nezvatichapamba; isa zvinhu zvako pamwe chete nesu, tigova nechikwama chimwe chete,” mwanakomana wangu, usabvumirana navo, usaisa rutsoka panzira dzavo; nokuti tsoka dzavo dzinomhanyira muchivi, vanokurumidza kundodeura ropa.
