Gi Dholuo

Once upon a time, there was a baboon and a leopard who wanted to climb the same acacia tree. They did not want to share the tree.

Chon gi lala ne nitie bim gi kwach mane dwaro idho yadh obede achiel. Ne ok gidwar riwre e yadh no.

As they began quarreling, a giraffe came over to eat the leaves of the acacia tree. Baboon and Leopard shouted at the same time, “Why are you eating the leaves off of MY tree?" "This is not your tree, leopard. This is MY tree!” shouted Baboon. “That’s not true, it’s MY tree,” growled Leopard.  They decided to settle this by asking Giraffe whose tree it should be. “I think it should be MY tree,” said Giraffe. Baboon and Leopard walked away disappointed.

Ka ne gichako dhawo, tiga nene obiro chamo oboke mag obedeno. Bim gi kwach nene orogo kanyakla, “Ang'o momiyo ichamo oboke mag yadha?”. “Ma ok yadhi, kwach. Ma yadha!” Bim nene orogo. “Mano ok adier, en yadha”. Kwach nene ong'ur. Ne giwinjre ni gibiro thegre ka gipenjo tiga mondo onyisgi ni yadh no mar ng'a. “Aparo ni yadh no onego bed mara” tiga ne owacho. Bim gi kwach ne oa kanyo ka gi jok.

Giraffe continued on eating the delicious acacia leaves when Gazelle came by to eat the tender leaves from below. 

“Why are you eating off of my tree?” Giraffe questioned him.

“It’s not your tree, it’s MY tree,” Gazelle barked.

Giraffe and Gazelle began arguing.

Tiga ne medo chamo oboke mamit mag obedeno ka ngaw ne opowre mochako chamo oboke mane nigi piny.

“Ang'o momiyo ichamo yadha?” tiga nene openje.

“Ma ok yadhi, en yadha” ngaw nene oduoke.

Tiga gi ngaw ne ochako dhaw.

As Giraffe and Gazelle continued arguing, a weaver bird came to nest in the Acacia tree. Gazelle and Giraffe agreed to ask Weaver Bird who’s tree it should be. Weaver Bird thought this over and then replied, “I think the tree should be MINE.”

Kane tiga gi ngaw pod dhaw, winj osogo ne opiyo e obedeno. Tiga gi ngaw ne owinjre ni gipenj osogo mondo onyisgi ni yadhno mar ng'a. Osogo ne oparo wachni mondi ae to oduokogi ni “aparo ni yadhni onego bed mara”.

While Weaver Bird continued to build his nest, Rhino came to rub himself on the bark of the Acacia tree. Weaver Bird chirped, "You can’t be here! This is MY tree. Go away! I am nesting here.”

Eseche ma ne osogo gero ode, omuga ne obiro guonyre e kor obedeno. Osogo ne okok ne ni “ok inyal bedo ka, ma yadha! Dhi kucha! Ayueyo ka”.

While they continued to debate, Lion strolled over to the shade of the Acacia to get away from the hot sun.

“Do you think Weaver Bird should have the tree?” Rhino asks.

“No, I think it should be MY tree!” Lion roared.

Ka ne gimedo yalo wachni, sibuor ne ong'anjo ka odhi e tipo mar obedeno mondo oae chien'g mane liet ha.

“Iparo ni osogo onego kaw yadhni?” Omuga ne openjo.

“Ooyo, aparo ni obedeni onego bed mara!” Sibuor nene oruto.

Elephant stomped towards the acacia tree and shouted, “Lion get out of my way. I want to eat and I am much larger than you!” Lion walked away as Elephant ate in peace.

Liech ne odhanjo kadhi but obedeno korogo “Sibuor, wuog e yora, adwa chiemo to aduong'ni!

Sibuor ne oa kanyo kendo liech ne ochiemo gi kwe.
