Shoko rakazosara kusvika tatopedza kugadzirira

muzvambarara wandainge ndapihwa naDorcas.
KuChivhu
husiku hwakare madzitete nevamwe vazukuru vakauya kuzorarira kumba kwanaNyarai
nekuti vamwe dzimba dzawo dzaiwe kure saka vaiitira kusazofamba kana vouya

‘’Hapana

Akazomupinda

kuna Gabhu zvikanzi naGabhu unoda kundiurayisa naManyuchi onawo yekutamba.
‘’Saka

Nyarai uyo achiparura nyaya yake.Zvediwo chibereko chake chakange chatambira

Zvisineiwo
hapana kuzopera mazuva akawanda Manyuchi akabva abuda muchitokisi ndokubva

mudziva riya regwena izvo zvakafadza Nyarai chose nekuti akaona sekunge nyadzi
dzake dzainge dzavharika.
Senzeni
kainge katokura asi Manyuchi haana kunge ambozvifunga kuti aichengeta bere
mumba.Ndopfungwa dzakadya Nyarai husiku hwose akakungura kuti pazvaizozivikanwa
mumwe aidimburwa musoro.Akazviona zvakakodzera kuti agare zvake naManyuchi
achibika mapoto sezvo akanga akatadza pasi nekudenga.Akazotopeputswa nematsimba
emombe dzaipfuura nemunyasi menhanga yevasikana yaakanga akarara.Kuchizoti

Ndakaatsika
mafuta takananga Chivhu.Kamhanzi kanotapira ndiko kaingunonzwikwa mumotokari .Taida kuti tisvikofambisa mutambo
sezvo shoko rakanga rauya kare kuti hama dzakanga dzaungana.Zuva richingobuda
muna amai varo takanga taruma Chivhu growth point.Takawana Nyarai akatimirira
pamwe nemadzitete takavati vapinde mumotokari ndokuchitanga zvino kutirairidza

Mutambo

Ini

asi zvakatovedzera.Tose takapererwa .Akave manyama amire nerongo.Ko chaive
chiizve mwana akanga aswera zvakanaka zuva rese.Kunze kwakanga kwatosvipa asi
hazvina kupera.Nyarai akanga ongobvunda serutsanga.Ko aibvundei ?Uyuwo sahwira
Gabhu ndiye aingotsindidza neyekuti tirove pasi sezvo aiti zvichapera.Tichimhanyirei?
Ndakazvibvunza. Husiku ihwohwo imwe n’anga yemuraini Mukwende akandodeedzwa
ndokuuya nehakata dzake kuzoshopera.
Yakawe
mhere-mhere kuvhima nevanhukadzi.Kunodziti dyore-dyore woye keche wanei chakati
tende pamuzinda.Mukwende akambomira ndokuzunguza musoro achiudyura maziziso ake
ainge makomba muzidzoro rake rainge rakatenderera sedamba.N’anga dzakashata
vakomana aah! Akatanga kumwaya Senzeni tumvura twake ndokuzoti;
‘’Pakaipa

‘’Mukanya!

“Mwana

Kuzodaro

hondo yacho ndokubva atanga kupfikura arimo muchikona.
“Regai

ndakakutadzira.Chandinoda kuti uzive Senzeni haazi mwana wako.Muridzi wemwana
ndiye Gabhu agere apa uyu.
