Ihlobo lixesha elishushu nelitshintshayo. Wonke umntu uthi ihlobo lifana nobuso bomntwana kwaye liza kutshintsha. Xa lonwabile, ilanga likhanya kakhulu. Xa lilusizi, ilanga lizifihla emafini lize lilile ngasese. Xa lalinomsindo, kwakukho amafu amnyama, imibane neendudumo, kwaye kwakunemvula enkulu. Ihlobo libi!

Ihlobo lifikile, kwaye ichibi eLinghu lihle kakhulu!
Ndibone iintyatyambo ezintle zelotus zidubula echibini. Kukho obomvu, opinki, obomvu njengomlilo, opinki njengomhlwa. Ezinye zivulekile kancinci, ezinye zivulekile ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ezinye zimathambo eentyatyambo. Amagqabi elotus angqukuva kwaye aluhlaza. Ezinye zigqobhoze phezulu emanzini, njengesambrela esikhulu; ezinye zintanta emanzini, njengenqanawa yamagqabi elotus eluhlaza. Ngokwenene "kude nakufutshane, phezulu nasezantsi".
Ichibi ehlotyeni litsala zonke izilwanyana ezincinci. Ndibone amabhabhathane ebhabha ejikeleza echibini, ngokungathi adanisa umdaniso omhle; neentaka zeza, zicula kwi-lotus, ngokungathi zithi: “Dade Lotus, molo! Molo!” I-dragonfly encinci yabhabha yaza yadlala kwihlumela lentyatyambo ye-lotus. Yayiyinene ethi “i-lotus encinci ineempondo zayo ezibukhali, kwaye i-dragonfly sele imi entloko yayo.” Idada ngovuyo, ngokungathi ithi, “Ihlobo limnandi!”

Ubusuku basehlotyeni, isibhakabhaka esicwengileyo esizele ziinkwenkwezi. Ndisoloko ndithanda ukujonga isibhakabhaka esinomtsalane esineenkwenkwezi.
Khangela, iinkwenkwezi ezingenakubalwa zikhanya njengeelitye ezixabisekileyo, kwaye isibhakabhaka esikhulu sinjengesikrini esikhulu. Ngamanye amaxesha iinkwenkwezi ezincinci zifana namatye anqabileyo agqunywe kwisikrini esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ekhanya ngokukhanya okuncinci; ngamanye amaxesha zifana namehlo amancinci aqhwanyazayo, ekhangela into ethile emhlabeni ngomdla.

Isibhakabhaka esineenkwenkwezi ebusuku basehlotyeni sihlabathi elikhululekileyo, abayi kundixelela imikhondo yabo, iingcinga zabo, ubuntu babo, kwaye abayi kukuvumela ukuba ubone imbonakalo yabo ngokucacileyo, baya kukudala indawo yomfanekiso-ngqondweni kuphela, bavumele Wena ucinge, udale, kwaye bakuvumele wakhe!
