Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu ngibelethile, lona wesifazane wabeletha naye; futhi sasindawonye; kwakungekho mfokazi kanye nathi endlini, ngaphandle kwethu sobabili endlini. Wafa-ke umntwana walo wesifazane ebusuku; ngoba wayisibekela. Wavuka phakathi kobusuku, wathatha indodana yami eceleni kwami, incekukazi yakho ilele, wayilalisa esifubeni sakhe, wamlalisa ofileyo wakhe esifubeni sami. Lapho ngivuka ekuseni ukuba ngincelise umntanami, bheka, wayesefile; kodwa lapho ngikucabangela ekuseni, bheka, kwakungeyona indodana yami engayizala.
