Three Deaf Peopleሶስቱ ደንቆሮዎች
Amharaአማራ
Narrated by Yirga Ejigu
One deaf farmer is ploughing and a deaf woman who has lost her sheep comes and asks if he has seen her sheep. She didn’t know he was deaf.
“Have you seen my sheep?”
He said, “What I am sowing from here to here is wheat.”
So she went following his pointing finger.
Luckily she found her sheep and gave one to the farmer out of thanks, but the gift sheep had a broken leg.
“Thank you for showing me my sheep and here’s one for you, with a broken leg.”
He said, “Please go away! Why are you stopping me working?”
She thought he was asking for another sheep.
Finally, she said, “No, take this one.”
And they didn’t agree and went to court.
The woman told her problem and so did he, but the judge was deaf, and said, “Whether you believe it or not, because the woman had a baby on her back, the baby is your son because he resembles you.”

በይርጋ እጅጉ የተተረከ
አንድ ደንቆሮ ገበሬ በማረስ ላይ ሳለ በጎች የጠፋባት አንዲት ደንቆሮ ሴት በጎቿን አይቶ እንደሆነ ትጠይቀዋለች፡፡ ሰውየው ደንቆሮ መሆኑን አታውቅም ነበር፡፡
“በጎቼን አይተሃል?” ብላ ስትጠይቀው “ከዚህ እስከዚያ እየዘራሁ ያለሁት ስንዴ ነው፡፡” ብሎ በመጠቆም አሳያት፡፡ እሷም የጠቋሚ ጣቱን አቅጣጫ ተከትላ በመሄድ እንደ እድል ሆኖ የጠፉትን በጎች ስላገኘቻቸው አንደኛውን በግ በምስጋና ትሰጠዋለች፡፡ ሆኖም የስጦታው በግ አንድ እግሩ ሰባራ ነበር፡፡ “በጎቼ ያሉበትን ቦታ ስላሳየኽኝ አመሰግናለሁ፡፡ አንዱንም እግረ ሰባራ በጌን ውሰድ፡፡” አለችው፡፡
እሱም “እባክሽ ሂጂልኝ! ለምንድነው ስራ ምታስፈቺኝ?” አላት::
እሷም ሌላ በግ እንዲሰጣት የጠየቃት መስሏት “አይሆንም! ይኽኛውን ውሰድ::” አለችው፡፡ በዚህም ስላልተስማሙ ወደ ዳኛ ሄዱ፡፡
ሁለቱም ችግሩን በተራ ለደንቆሮ ዳኛ ሲያስረዱ ዳኛውም “ወደድክም ጠላህም ሴትየዋ ያዘለችው ልጅ አንተን ስለሚመስል ልጁ ያንተ ነው፡፡” ብሎ ፈረደ ይባላል፡፡
