The Rat and the Frogአይጥና እንቁራሪት
Amharaአማራ
Narrated by Sintayehu Melese
Once upon a time there were two people called Abba Aito (rat) and Emaygurdit (frog). While walking and walking they found some wheat on their road.
Abba Aito said, “Let’s eat it.”
His friend replied, “No, let’s not.”
However, finally they agreed to eat it and they started grinding it. When the frog finished grinding the wheat, she wanted to mix it with water to make dough, but she couldn’t find enough water. She watered it with her own urine. As she is peeing on the flour, the flour blew away because she farted.
አይጥና እንቁራሪት
በስንታየሁ መለሰ የተተረከ
በአንድ ወቅት አባ አይጦና እማይ ጉርዲት የተባሉ ሁለት ሰዎች ነበሩ፡፡ ሲሄዱ፣ ሲሄዱ በመንገዳቸው ላይ ትንሽ ስንዴ ያገኛሉ፡፡
አባ አይጦም “እንብላው::” አለ፡፡
ጓደኛውም “አይ! አንብላው፡፡” አለች፡፡
በመጨረሻም በመብላቱ ተስማምተው ይፈጩት ጀመር፡፡ እንቁራሪቷም ስንዴውን ፈጭታ ስትጨርስ በውሃ ደባልቃ ሊጥ ማቡካት ትፈልግና በቂ ውሃ ታጣለች፡፡ ታዲያ በሽንቷ ልታርሰው ፈልጋ መሽናት ስትጀምር ፈሷን ስለፈሣች ዱቄቱ በኖ ጠፋ፡፡
