ደንቢጥ

በእንደ  በረት  ውለጥ  ደንቢጥ  ወፍ  ጐጀውን  ሠርቶ  ይኖር  ነበር ። ከአስታት  እንደ  ቀን  ደንቢጥ  ለልጆቹ  መግብ  ላመጣላቸው  ልጆቹን  ስብቻቸው  ትቶዋቸው  ከሚስቹ  ጋር  ሩቅ  ቦታ  ሄደው  ነበሩ 

ደንቢጥ  የልጆቹ  ሁኔቻ  ሰለ  ኣሳሰበው  ከሄደበት  ቦታ  በተሎ  ተመለሰ 

እንድዚህ  ብሎ'ደሞ  ለልጆቹ  ጠየቃቸው  ምንድነው  ልጆቼ  ምን  ተገኘ  የራቹ  ትመስሳሳቹ  ኣስቸው 

ኣባባ  እያሉ  ከመምጣት  ኣንድ  ታሳቅ  ኣንስሳ  መጥቶ  ኣስፈራራን  በትልልቁ  ኣይኖቹ  ሲመለከተን  በፍርሃት  ልንሞት  ነበር 

እሺ  የኔ  ልጆች  እንስሳው  ወደየት  ሄደ ፧

ብሎ  ጠየቃቸው  ወደ  ታች  በዚህ  መንገድ  እለፈ  እለት 

እሺ  እዚህ  ጠብቁኝ  ኣሁን  ሄጀ  ዳግመኛ  እንደዚህ  እንዳይ  ደገሞ  ኣስረዳው  እለሁ  

ትንሽ  ወደ  ታች  ከተጓዘ  በኃላ  እየተራመደ  ሲሄድ  ኣለሁ 

ደንቢጥ  ካለምንም  ፍርሃት  በኣንበሳው  ጀርባ  ላይ  ኣርፈ ። ማን  ፈቅዶልህ  ነው  ቤቴ  መጥተህ  ልጆቸን  የምታስፈራራው  እያለከጀርባው  ላይ  ሆኖ  በሃይል  ጮሄ 

ኣንበሳው  ግን  ከመራመዱ  ኣለስቆሞውን 

ከጀርባው  የሚወጣውን  ጫጫተ  ደንተም  ኣልሰጠውን  ደንቢጥ  እየደጋገመ  ስማኝ  ሁለተኛ  ጊዜ  ምንም  ዓይነት  ጉዱይ  የለህም  ከተመላስክ  በዚሁ  ጠንካራው  እግሬ  ነው  የሚሰባብርህ  እያለ  ኣንድ  እግሩ  ኣስነሳ  ለኣሁኑ  ግን  ደህና 

ለሚመጣው  ጊዜ  ግን  ተጠንቀቅ  ብሎት  ወደ  ልጆቹ  ተመለሰ  ኣይዞኣቹህ  የኔ  ልጆቹ  በደንብ  ነው  ያስረዱሁት  ሁለተኛ  ጊዜ  በፍጹም  ተመልሶ  ኣይመጣም
