Karĩ ka mũmwe na aciari ako nĩ makendete mũno. Kaheogwo okĩrĩa gĩothe kenda. Ona nogekagwo ũrĩa wothe kenda gũĩkwo.  \nOnce upon a time there was a little boy. He was the only child. His parents loved him a lot. They would give him anything. They could also do anything for him.  \nAciari ako makahete wĩĩra ũmwe tu. Waarĩ wĩĩra owakũrĩithia tu. O rũciinĩ nĩ gokagĩra gakegagũra. Karĩkia kwĩgagũra kahingũragĩra mahiũ mao gakoimagara.  \nThe parents had only one job for him. He was expected to take care of their animals. Every morning he would wake up and take breakfast. After breakfast he would take the animals to graze.  \nGathiaga kũrĩithia mũtitũ waarĩ hakuhĩ na gĩcagi kĩao. Mũtitũ ũcio waarĩ na ndare, ndoore na matunda mamĩthemba ĩtiganĩte. Kahĩĩ kau gatiahũtaga tondũ nĩ karĩaga indo ici. Ũũ nĩ igũrũ wa kũrĩa rĩgu rĩrĩagakoragwo gakuĩĩte kuuma mũciĩ.  \nHe would go to graze in a forest near their village. There were berries and many types of fruits in the forest. He was never hungry because he ate the berries and fruits. This was in addition to the food from home.  \nO gakĩrĩithagia no gaathakaga gegoika. Nĩ gaakoragwona kĩgũtha kĩrĩa kageragia kũhĩta ndutura na nyoni iria ingĩ. Ona no kaageragia kũũraga itũyũ na mbũkũ nakĩgũtha kĩu gĩako. Rĩmwe na rĩmwe nĩ kainũkagianyama cia nyamũ mũciĩ.  \nThe boy played on his own as he grazed the animals. He had a sling. He used to hunt doves and other birds. He would also try to kill bushbabies and rabbits. Nowand then he would take meat home.  \nOna keena maũndũ maya mothe magwĩka rĩmwe nĩ kaanyitagwo nĩ ihoru. Gakageria kwaria na mbũri nang’ombe no ihoru rĩtiathiraga. Ona rĩmwe nĩũngĩagakorire gakĩaria na mĩtĩ na mahuti ma gĩthaka.  \nEven with all these things to do, sometimes he was lonely. He would talk to the goats and cows, but still feel lonely. Sometimes he would talk to trees and bushes.  \nNĩ gaakirire gakĩona no mũhaka geethe njĩra ya gwĩkenia. Oona njĩra ĩngĩtũma kagĩe na andũ agũikarania nao. Gagĩciria, gagĩciria na gakĩona njĩra no ĩmwe. Na gagĩkena tondũ nĩ koĩ ti nganja nĩ gekuona andũ mũtitũ .  \nHe decided that he must do something. He had to look for a way to amuse himself. Something to bring people to him. He thought and thought and came up with an idea. He knew people would come to the forest.","cbCaia1TfBbV9ruM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia1TfBbV9ruM","pdf",1841416,5,28,"English","en",105,"# Kahĩĩ na ngarĩ - The little boy and the leopard\n## Daily life and the boy’s duty\n## Life in the forest and hunting\n## Loneliness and an idea to attract people","[{\"question\":\"What is the little boy expected to do every day?\",\"answer\":\"He is expected to take care of his parents’ animals: wake up, eat breakfast, and take the animals to graze in the forest.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the boy spend his grazing time?\",\"answer\":\"He goes to a forest near his village, where berries and many fruits are available.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the boy feel lonely, and what does he decide to do?\",\"answer\":\"Even while caring for the animals and spending time hunting, he sometimes feels lonely.
