Naakamana, wakatalika kuseluka.When the bees were out, Gingile pushed his hands into the nest. He took out handfuls of the heavy comb, dripping with rich honey and full of fat, white grubs. He put the comb carefully in the pouch he carried on his shoulder, and started to climb down the tree.…w„#…wNaakasika munsi aampako, wakazimvwa nzuki kazyilila.

Nozyakali kuzwa mumpako, zyimwi zyakamuluma amana cakacisa maningi.Soon he could hear the loud buzzing of the busy bees. They were coming in and out of a hollow in the tree trunk – their hive. When Gingile reached the hive he pushed the smoking end of the stick into the hollow. The bees came rushing out, angry and mean. They flew away because they didn’t like the smoke – but not before they had given Gingile some painful stings!„5vƒW…#Gingile wakabikka sumo lyakwe mujungusi acisamu.

Wakatalika kutanta mucisamu kumwi kajatide kasamu amulomo.So Gingile put down his hunting spear under the tree, gathered some dry twigs and made a small fire. When the fire was burning well, he put a long dry stick into the heart of the fire. This wood was especially known to make lots of smoke while it burned. He began climbing, holding the cool end of the smoking stick in his teeth.„Au„ „sNikwakainda ciindi, bakasika acisamu cipati. Ngede wakasotooka-sotooka mucisamu. Wakazingulusya mutwe cakutondezya kuti “Mbobuno kuno buci! Koboola ino! Ncinzi ncomukila?†Gingile taakabona nzuki zyili zyoonse naakali mujungusi aacisamu, pesi wakamusyoma Ngede.After half an hour, they reached a huge wild fig tree. Ngede hopped about madly among the branches. He then settled on one branch and cocked his head at Gingile as if to say, “Here it is! Come now! What is taking you so long?†Gingile couldn’t see any bees from under the tree, but he trusted Ngede.‡ t†K‡Aaka, nkaano ka Ngede, kayuni kasololela kuli buci a Gingile, mulombwana mulyato. Bumwi buzuba Gingile naakali kuvwima, wakamvwa lwiito lwa Ngede. Gingile wakamvwa mate ayenda mukanwa muzeezo wabuci niwakanjila mumutwe. Wakaima akuswiilisisya, kumwi kazibauka, akubona kayuni mucisamu. Kayuni kakatalika kulila kuti kuklooo… akuuluka kuya mucisamu cimbi. Kakali kukkala-kkala mufwaafwi kutegwa Gingile akaccilile.This is the story of Ngede, the Honeyguide, and a greedy young man named Gingile. One day while Gingile was out hunting he heard the call of Ngede. Gingile’s mouth began to water at the thought of honey. He stopped and listened carefully, searching until he saw the bird in the branches above his head. “Chitik-chitik-chitik,†the little bird rattled, as he flew to the next tree, and the next. “Chitik, chitik, chitik,†he called, stopping from time to time to be sure that Gingile followed.LsM_Hanyisi undipa kulila noutendwa.Onions make me cry when they are chopped.1r9=Baama batenda hanyisi.My mom chops the onions.)q33Ndatenda sipinacci.I chop the spinach.)p15Ndatenda zyitende.I cut the butternut.$o-/Ndasanzya nyabo.I wash the beans.*n35Ndatenda makkalutu.I grate the carrots.&m1/Ndatenda kkabicci.I chop a cabbage.'l-5Ndayupa magwili.I peel the potatoes.ƒRkƒyƒ;Nikwakainda ciindi, mubwa wakazyiba kuti Nozibele wakamucenga.

But Nozibele’s brothers were waiting there with big sticks. The dog turned and ran away and has never been seen since.

In his hurry he missed a branch, and landed with a heavy thud on the ground twisting his ankle. He hobbled off as fast as he could. Luckily for him, Leopard was still too sleepy to chase him. Ngede, the Honeyguide, had his revenge. And Gingile learned his lesson.…

† Gingile wakatanta muchisamu mpoona wakanyandwa natakakunvwa kulila kwa nzuki. Wakasola kuunka kumutabi umbi, wakajana kuti ulangana asiluwe. Siluwe wakanyema akaambo kakuti bakamunyonganya kuÅ‹onzi. Wakaacesya meso akujalula mulomo kutondezya meno aabosya.Gingile climbed, wondering why he didn’t hear the usual buzzing. “Perhaps the hive is deep in the tree,†he thought to himself. He pulled himself up another branch. But instead of the hive, he was staring into the face of a leopard! Leopard was very angry at having her sleep so rudely interrupted. She narrowed her eyes, opened her mouth to reveal her very large and very sharp teeth.†

Mbuli cilengwa, wakatalika kutanta, Ngede wakali kwiide kulangilila.One day several weeks later Gingile again heard the honey call of Ngede. He remembered the delicious honey, and eagerly followed the bird once again. After leading Gingile along the edge of the forest, Ngede stopped to rest in a great umbrella thorn. “Ahh,†thought Gingile. “The hive must be in this tree.†He quickly made his small fire and began to climb, the smoking branch in his teeth. Ngede sat and watched.†tz†K‡-Pesi Gingile wakazima mulilo, akubweza nsumo lyakwe akutalika kweenda.

Ino-ino uya kucibbadelela cizyole.But, Gingile put out the fire, picked up his spear and started walking home, ignoring the bird. Ngede called out angrily, “VIC-torr! VIC-torrr!†Gingile stopped, stared at the little bird and laughed aloud. “You want some honey, do you, my friend? Ha! But I did all the work, and got all the stings. Why should I share any of this lovely honey with you?†Then he walked off. Ngede was furious! This was no way to treat him! But he would get his revenge.„cy„ …9Ngede wakali kulangilila zyoonse zyakali kucitika.

He was waiting for him to leave a fat piece of honeycomb as a thank-you offering to the Honeyguide. Ngede flittered from branch to branch, closer and closer to the ground. Finally Gingile reached the bottom of the tree. Ngede perched on a rock near the boy and waited for his reward.

Sometimes they were arrested, sometimes they were beaten. When they were sick, there was no one to help. The group depended on the little money they got from begging, and from selling plastics and other recycling. Life was even more difficult because of fights with rival groups who wanted control of parts of the city.
