There was once a little hare who wasn’tfeeling very good.Kudala-dala kwaye kukho umvundlanaowayengaziva mnandi.236

He was tired all the time – just as tired asyou feel when you have been digging inthe sand all day.His eyes were very sore – just as soreas your eyes feel when they have somedust in them.Wayesoloko ediniwe ngalo lonke ixesha -edinwe kanye njengendlela oye uzivengayo xa ubugrumba intlabathi iminiyonke.Amehlo akhe ayebuhlungu – ebuhlungukanye njengendlela amehlo akho ababuhlungu ngayo xa engenwe luthuli.457

He was very scared – just as scared as youfeel when you are lost.He was very sad – just as sad as you feelwhen no-one wants to play with you.Wayesoyika kakhulu – esoyika kanyenjengendlela owoyika ngayo xa ulahlekile.Wayelusizi kakhulu – elusizi kanyenjengendlela oba lusizi ngayo xa kungekhomntu ufuna ukudlala nawe.678

The little hare’s sister asked, “What can Ido to help you feel better?”The little hare replied, “Let’s draw apicture.”And so they did.That made the little hare feel a bit better.Udade bomvundlana wabuza, “Ndingenzantoni ukukunceda uzive ngcono?”Umvundlana omncinci waphendula wathi,“Masizobe umfanekiso.”Inene, benza kanye oko.Oku kwamenza umvundlana ukubaazive ngcono.899

The little hare’s grandpa asked, “How can Ihelp you to feel better?”The little hare replied, “Let’s play a game.”And so they did.That made the little hare feel even better.Utatomkhulu womvundlana wabuza,“Ndingeza ntoni ukukunceda ube ngcono?”Umvundlana waphendula wathi, “Masidlale.”Inene, benza kanye oko.Oku kwamenza umvundlana azive ngcononangakumbi.101110

And that made the little hare feel bestof all!“I’m special,” he sang,“And I know you will always care.I’ll never be aloneBecause you love me.”14Oku kwamenza umvundlana azivengcono kakhulu!“Ndiziva ndikhethekile,” wacula,“Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba niya kusolokonikhathala ngam.Andisokuze ndibe liloloKuba niyandithanda.”1512
