Kudala amatshe esancwebeka, inyamazana zisakhuluma there were two best friends UMvundla loQhude. The two were neighbours & used to hunt together in the forests of Mhlabakazi.
2. UMvundla had one weakness: pride! He was very proud and boastful and looked down upon other people. This annoyed & embarrassed Qhude a lot! Many animals questioned Qhude's friendship with uMvundla.
3. One day whilst resting with his wife, Qhude saw uMvundla coming with his head high & chest out. He knew uMvundla had something new to boast about. Qhude was really tired of being looked down upon and boasted to by uMvundla.
4. He then devised a plan with his wife. He hid his head under one wing and lifted one leg and hid it under the other wing. UMvundla had never seen him doing this.
5. As soon as uMvundla arrived he was surprised to see Qhude in that state. He was astonished and said to Qhude's wife : "Hawu, nkosikazi, kuyini lokhu engikubonayo? Wenzenjani kanti umngane wami?!”
6. Qhude's wife replied :
“Wo-o-o, uQhude uyezingela makhelwana.”
Mvundla said : “Hayi-bo nkosikazi! Uthini? Lungaphi olunye unyawo?”
She replied,“Ikhanda lonyawo kuyezingela makhelwana! " (My husband's leg & head have gone hunting!)
“Wo-o-o, uQhude uyezingela makhelwana.”
Mvundla said : “Hayi-bo nkosikazi! Uthini? Lungaphi olunye unyawo?”
She replied,“Ikhanda lonyawo kuyezingela makhelwana! " (My husband's leg & head have gone hunting!)
7. "Ini? Suka lapha nkosikazi. Wakubona ngaphi lokho?” esefile yikumangala uMvundla.
“Ah, ujwayele ukukwenza lokho ubaba walapha ekhaya.”
“Ngumbhedo lowo nkosikazi!”
“Ngiqinisile baba.........
Kanti wena awukaze ukuzame lokho?”
“Ah, ujwayele ukukwenza lokho ubaba walapha ekhaya.”
“Ngumbhedo lowo nkosikazi!”
“Ngiqinisile baba.........
Kanti wena awukaze ukuzame lokho?”
8. Shocked by his friend's abilities & not wanting to be outdone uMvundla rushed home to his wife and instructed her to cut his head and leg as well so that they would go hunting!
9. "Kodwa sekabantwana, wakuzwa ngaphi ukuthi unyawo luyaphuma luyezingela lulodwa? Lekhanda?”
10."Yikho engikuficileyo nakabantwana. Angingeke ngedlulwe yinkukhu enguQhude mina. Uyezwa?
“Pho-ke, sekabantwana … uthi kuthiweni?”
“Sondeza isigodo leso ngeyamise intamo. Ungiqume intamo ubuye uqume lonyawo, kuyezingela.”
“Pho-ke, sekabantwana … uthi kuthiweni?”
“Sondeza isigodo leso ngeyamise intamo. Ungiqume intamo ubuye uqume lonyawo, kuyezingela.”
11. When his wife refused to cut his head and leg uMvundla got very angry and threatened to divorce her! She negotiated with him to at least cut his foot first to see if it could go hunting!
12. “Maye-e-e! Wangilimaza mfazi!” esebambe isilonda ukuthi avale igazi elaselintshaza. Unyawo lukaMvundla lwasoluthe laxa!
“Ih-ih! Yooooo! Ngalimala boooo!”
“Manje kuyini lokhu sekabantwana!” esitsho elahla ihloka ephakamisa izandla eqhinqa isililo unkosikazi kaMvundla.
“Ih-ih! Yooooo! Ngalimala boooo!”
“Manje kuyini lokhu sekabantwana!” esitsho elahla ihloka ephakamisa izandla eqhinqa isililo unkosikazi kaMvundla.
13. With the help of traditional medicines Mvundla's leg was healed over time but his walk changed to khwenye! khwenye!
