Nzvimbo yacho, kungave denga raive nemakore kana kwete, mavara enzvimbo yacho, mafambiro emuviri, nzvimbo yevanhu vari mumufananidzo. Tinokukoka kuti uverenge chinyorwa pamusoro peImba yeKusuruvara , sezvo iriwo nyaya yakanaka.
Chidimbu chidiki kubva mubhuku
Usatadza kuona uye tarisa makore, kuchava nedutu, uye kana akauya nenzira iyi". Thea akanzwa chirevo (nguva dzose, ndakaona kushanduka-shanduka pakarepo, hazvina kumbomira kundishamisa kuti ainzwa sei, aiteerera sei manzwiro evanhu vakuru), uye izvo zvakaita kuti aongorore uye abvunze, "Ndosaka 'uri kusuwa?" ?" "Pakaipa?"Rebecca akabvunza achicheuka.Ini? Kwete. Ini handifarire mvura muchirimo. Ndinotozvifarira.
"Imvura yangu yandinoda." "Mvura yako yaunofarira?" Thea akadaro. Ndinoyeuka achifinyamisa kumeso paaiedza kutaura mashoko iwayo, ndokubva adaidzira. "Zvakanaka, yangu mvura isati yanaya." Rebecca akaseka kudaro, asi ini ndakati (ndichishamisira, ndofunga) “Asi mudiwa, kusati kwanaya, mvura haisati yanaya here? Thea ndokuti kwandiri: Saka chii?
