UBishu waphila ngenjabulo eNdaweni yase-Bubbly Bill eduze naseMfuleni i-Lemonade. Wayethanda ukuqoqa amathini, amabhodlela kanye nephepha futhi engeke akulahle, kodwa kungani?

UBishu wayephinde azisebenzise ukuze enze izinto eziningi ezintsha. Wayengenzela indlovu yakhe eyithoyizi imoto, isilo noma indiza

enamehlo amathathu. Noma kunjalo, nguye kuphela endaweni yakubo owenza lokhu. Bonke abanye abantu bendawo baphonsa udoti wabo esigodini esiseduze esinamadwala.

Isigodi sasivele sigcwele udoti futhi lokhu kwenza uBishu omncane wadabuka futhi wadangala.

Ngeshwa, ngolunye usuku uBishu wavuka wathola izindaba ezimbi.

Izibi kule ndawo zafinyelela esibhakabhakeni. Zaba yintaba enkulu yezibi.

UBishu kwakudingeka enze okuthile ngakho ngokushesha. Wacabanga futhi wacabanga, wabe esathola icebo!

Wakha umshini owaphendulela izibi zibe izinto ezinhle. Waqala ukusika nokushwabanisa, ukushaya ngesando nokuhlanganisa izinto ndawonye. Ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, umshini wakhe wawusulungile ngakho wawuyisa esigodini.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi lomshini, uBishu angafaka noma yiziphi izibi. Ama-straws, izicucu nama-rubber bands

futhi umshini wawuzokwenza ube izinto ezinhle ezisebenzisekayo: ushokoledi, imophu yokuhlanza kanye nenduku ye-pogo.

Ngakho uBishu waqhubeka ehlohla emshinini usuku lonke futhi umshini wakhe wenza umsebenzi wawo wokwenza izinto ezimangalisayo.

Kodwa, ingabe intaba yezibi iye yancipha?

Cha, ngeshwa akunjalo. Akuzange kuhlale kufana. Yakhula futhi yakhula, ukwedlula noma nini ngaphambili!

Lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi bonke abantu edolobheni baphonsa izibi eziningi lapho nsuku zonke. UBishu akakwazanga ukuhlanza lokhu kungcola eyedwa. Ngakho, wanquma ukucela abantu bakhe bamsize wabe esehamba waya emzaneni.

Endleleni, wahlangana nabantu abayolahla izibi zabo esigodini.

Wema, wabahlinela futhi wathi: "Ningalahli izibi zenu esigodini. Kugcwele laphaya."

UMnu. Caker umbhaki wezinkwa waphendula embhuqa: "Ufuna ngilahle kuphi-ke, ngaphansi kombhede wami?"

"Mina ngizozilahla emakhabetheni ami-ke," kunezela uMnu. Redwood ongumbazi.

"Lalela la" kusho uNkk. Noura: "Ezinye ngizozilahla emakhabetheni ezinye ngizifake ngaphansi kombhede."

UBishu wahlekela phansi wathi: "Ziphonseni emshinini wami nibone izimangaliso enizozithola."

Bonke baphendula: "Awusuke la endleleni, uhambe nale nto. Umshini wakho asiwudingi thina. "

Ethukuthele, uBishu wacindezela amaqupha akhe aze aphenduka amhlophe wabuyela emuva esigodini ezimisele ukukwenza, ngisho noma kwakudingeka akwenze yedwa. Emangele...

Izicucu zezibi zahlangena futhi zaphenduka isilo esinyanyekayo. Isilo saya emzaneni sicula:

"Ngiyisilo sezibi, Isilo esikhulu esesabekayo, esinamafayela nomiyane, namagundane amnyama, uyazi. Lokhu kuyangilandela futhi kubhubhisa nomaphi lapho ngiya khona"

UBishu wathi: "Ngeke ngivumele lesi silo sezibi sisakaze izibi singcolise yonke indawo. Ngizosebenzisa umshini wami ukuze ngisinqande singangeni endaweni yakithi." Ngokushesha wadonsa izibi ezinhlangothini zesilo sezibi wazihlohla emshinini wakhe. Wadonsa futhi wahlohla, wadonsa futhi wahlohla kodwa isilo sasisikhulu futhi sishesha. Ngemva kwesikhashana, uBishu wayekhathele kakhulu, wawa ngamadolo.

Wayazi ukuthi ngeke akwazi ukubhekana nesilo sezibi eyedwa. Ngokungazelelwe uBishu wezwa amazwi eduze naye. Waphakamisa ikhanda lakhe wathola ukuthi abantu bendawo bazomsiza. Bamtshela ukuthi ngeke bavumele lesi silo singcolise indawo yakubo abayithandayo.

UBishu wagxuma wema ngezinyawo wathi: "Landela isilo sezibi bese udonsa udoti ezinhlangothini zaso ngaphandle kokusenza siqaphele. Yibe usufaka udoti emshinini wami. Wabe eseyala izingane: "Buthani amakati ukuze axoshe amagundane amabi esilo." UBishu, abantu bendawo kanye nezingane basizana ekwenzeni lokhu.

Lapho besusa udoti esilweni sezibi kwaba yilapho sincipha khona kancane kancane.

Ekugcineni, wamemeza: "Ngiyisilo sezibi, isilo esincane esinokwesaba. Izimpukane zami nomiyane namagundane amnyama uyazi. Bayephi? Nkosi yami!"

UMnu. Caker umbhaki wezinkwa, uMnu. Redwood umbazi noNkk. Noura nabo bonke abanye basebenza kanzima. Ngemva kwamahora ambalwa, sasingasekho isilo. UBishu wabeka izingxenye zaso ezisele emshinini wakhe futhi wachofoza kanye kabili, futhi isilo sezibi sabe singasekho!

Akukhona lokho kuphela, manje esikhundleni sezibi kwakukhona amathani ezinto ezimangalisayo umshini owazikhiqiza.

Abantu bakuleli dolobha babonga uBishu bethi: "Besingeke sikwenze lokhu ngaphandle kwakho."

UBishu waphendula ngokuziqhenya: "Nami bengingeke ngikwenze lokhu ngaphandle kosizo lwenu."

Manje, uma udlula ngaseNdaweni yase-Bubbly Hill eduze koMfula i-Lemonade bese uya empumalanga ngasezimakethe, uzothola umshini kaBishu phakathi nendawo.

Abantu bakule ndawo bawubeka lapho futhi bawugxisha ngezibi futhi balindela izimangaliso.
