WAZA u‐Hamani wapuma ngalomini evuya, enentliziyo ecwayitileyo: kodwa xeshekweni u‐Hamani wambona u‐Modekai esangweni lokumkani, ukuba akasuki, nokuba akashukumi ngenxa yake, waselezala ngumsindo u‐Hamani ngakuye u‐Modekai. Wazinyanzela u‐Hamani noko, weza endlwini yake: waza watuma wabiza izihlobo zake, no‐Zereshe umfazi wake. Wandula u‐Hamani wababalisela ubungcwalisa bobutyebi bake, nobuninzi babantwana bake, nako konke ukumkani abemenze mkulu ngako, nokokuba ebempakamisile ngapezu kwenkosi nezicaka zokumkani.
