SHORT STORY: MINE IS NOT SHINING

 


 

    SHORT STORY: MINE IS NOT SHINING

Once upon a time, there was a rich man who lived in Akamahoro village. He was about 50 years old, and he had one wife and four children. He lived with his family in a normal house, which wasn’t luxurious; his job was cultivation.

This man was not interested in buying expensive things just to show that he was rich. Apart from that, he used to help poor people by paying school fees for their children and even paying for medical insurance for those who were in need. He and his wife were always ready to help others rather than enrich themselves or enjoy their lives by living in luxury houses, wearing new fashions, and other things that demonstrate someone to be rich. These characteristics of being humble and helping others, rather than striving to show how rich he was, made the village inhabitants excited by his heroic deeds.

 Other bosses used to laugh at him by saying, “What an idiot man! He’s always throwing his money to dogs!” They wondered why he was doing that, in spite of fighting for personal development. By the end, these rich men decided to marginalize him from their group because he didn’t mingle with them on their habitual celebration days, where they invited each other for enjoyment. Therefore, he wasn’t aware of their actions, and he continued his activities without caring about how they abused him, such as insulting him for not joining them.

                            POEM : UMUGANURA IN RWANDA

It’s time for cerebration in my homeland,

 Recognizable, and joyful day,

Citizens throughout the country are busy,

Even naïve, and noble families are aware of it and interested,

Come forth, come forth, Umuganura, the day of celebration.

 

Praise the lord, the offer of what we’re enjoying for,

We buried seeds with no hope, but you lit up our life,

If you didn’t, what should we have us a topic?

Rwandans shouting, singing God’s blessings provided,

Come forth, come forth, Umuganura, the day of celebration.

 

Did you harvest something?

Yeah, It’s all set. various crops, and fruits fill my granary,

Invite your neighbor, friends and families enjoy together,

Ubushera, sorghum bread and isogi are ready, come and enjoy together,

Come forth, come forth, Umuganura, the day of celebration.

 

Welcome, welcome the day we wish, and admire,

Day which emphasize Rwandan’s unity and dignity,

Let’s join hands celebrate umuganura day,

 Come forth, come forth, Umuganura, the day of celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Shairi: Sauti ya Lugha

Katika maisha ya kila siku,
Twaamka, twafanya kazi bila shaka,
Lakini pasipo kujua lugha,
Mambo mengi hutupita kwa kasi.


Lugha ni daraja la mawasiliano,
Ni taa katika njia ya uelewano,
Kwa mkulima au mwanafunzi,
Kila mtu huitaji kwa dhati.


Wafanyabiashara huuza vizuri,
Wajuao lugha ya wateja wao,
Walimu hufundisha kwa mafanikio,
Kwa kutumia lugha kwa ufasaha.


Ukitaka kusafiri duniani,
Lugha ni pasipoti ya kwanza,
Huwezi kuomba maji wala msaada,
Bila kuelewa ya wenyeji.


Maisha ya kisasa si kama zamani,
Tumeunganishwa kwa teknolojia,
Na lugha huendesha mitandao,
Ikiunganisha mataifa na watu.


Kila siku tunakutana na wenzetu,
Wenye mila na lafudhi tofauti,
Lugha hutusogeza karibu,
Na kuvuka vizingiti vya uoga.


Kujifunza lugha ni kujiamini,
Ni kujijengea njia mpya,
Ni kupata kazi, marafiki na ndoto,
Katika dunia isiyo na mipaka.


Hivyo ewe kijana, au mzee,
Jifunze lugha, ujipatie hazina ya kweli.
