Kwabuthana abantu abaningi , bavimba yonke imithombo , nomfudlana owawugobhoza phakathi nezwe , bathi: Kungangani ukuba kufike amakhosi ase-Asiriya, afumane amanzi amaningi, na?

Ihlane waliphendula amachibi amanzi, nomhlabathi owomileyo imithombo yamanzi.

Abahubayo nabasinayo bathi: Imithombo yami yonke ikuwe.

Imithombo iyaphalala ngaphandle yini, nemifula yamanzi ezigcawini, na?

Lungakabikho utwa ngazalwa, ingakabikho imithombo egcwele amanzi.

Imithombo yotwa namafasitele asezulwini kwavinjwa , imvula yasezulwini yaphela.

Ngokuba abantu bami benzile ok ubi okubili : bangishiyile, umthombo wamanzi aphilileyo , bazigubhele imithombo , imithombo evuzayo , amanzi angenakuhlala kuyo.
