Vakaipa vanotiza pasina anovatevera, asi vakarurama vakashinga seshumba. Kana nyika ikapandukira, ine vatongi vazhinji, asi nomunhu ane njere noruzivo, inogara yakatsiga. Murombo anomanikidza vasina simba akafanana nemvura inonaya ichikukura isingasiyi zvokudya. Vanosiya murayiro vanorumbidza vakaipa, asi vanochengeta murayiro vanorwa navo. Vanhu vakaipa havanzwisisi kururamisira, asi vanotsvaka Baba vedu vanokunzwisisa zvizere. Nani murombo anofamba nokururama pane mupfumi akakombama munzira dzake. Ani naani anochengeta murayiro mwanakomana ane njere, asi shamwari yavane makaro inonyadzisa baba vake. Ani naani anowanza pfuma yake nomubereko uye nepfuma yakawanikwa nokusarurama anoiunganidzira munhu anopa varombo norupo. Kana munhu akaramba kuteerera murayiro, kunyange munyengetero wake unonyangadza. Ani naani anotsausa vakarurama munzira yakaipa achawira mugomba rake pachake, asi vasina chavangapomerwa vachagara nhaka yezvinhu zvakanaka. Mupfumi akachenjera pakuona kwake, asi murombo ane njere anomuona pachena. Kana vakarurama vachikunda, kune kubwinya kukuru, asi kana vakaipa vachisimuka, vanhu vanohwanda. Ani naani anoviga zvivi zvake haabudiriri, asi anozvireurura uye achazvirega achawana tsitsi. Akaropafadzwa munhu anogara achitya nguva dzose, asi anoomesa mwoyo wake achawira munjodzi. Seshumba inoomba kana bera rinodhumira ndizvo zvakaita mutongi akaipa anotonga vanhu vasina simba. Mutongi asina njere mumanikidzi ane utsinye, asi anovenga pfuma yakawanikwa nokusarurama achararamisa mazuva ake. Munhu anoremerwa nemhosva yokudeura ropa achava mutizi kusvikira pakufa; ngaparege kuva nomunhu anomutsigira. Ani naani anofamba nokururama achachengetedzwa, asi akakombama munzira dzake achawa pakarepo. Anorima munda wake achava nezvokudya zvizhinji, asi anotevera zvinhu zvisina maturo achava nourombo huzhinji. Munhu akatendeka achava nemaropafadzo mazhinji, asi anomhanyira kupfuma haangaregwi kurangwa. Kutsaura vanhu hakuna kunaka, asi nokuda kwechimedu chechingwa munhu anoita zvakaipa. Munhu anonyima anomhanyira pfuma asi haazivi kuti urombo huchamubata. Anotsiura munhu pakupedzisira achawana nyasha zhinji kupfuura uyo anobata kumeso norurimi rwake. Anobira baba vake kana mai vake achiti, “Hachisi chivi,” ishamwari yomunhu anoparadza. Munhu ane ruchiva anomutsa kukakavara, asi anovimba naBaba vedu achapfumiswa. Anovimba nomwoyo wake pachake ibenzi, asi anofamba nouchenjeri achachengetedzwa. Anopa varombo haangashayi chinhu, asi anovatsinzinira meso achagamuchira kutukwa kuzhinji. Kana vakaipa vachisimuka, vanhu vanohwanda, asi kana vachiparara, vakarurama vanowanda.
