Nyika yikulu ndiyo inorema mudenderedzwa, nzvimbo yepasiro yehukuru hwekuchenjerera. Kufanana neropa rweusingapereri rinenge richengetedza mhuri dzayo. Usingapereri ahu anodzorera nguva dzose panzvimbo yepasi rose, achishandisa kudonhedza kwake kukakamekedza. Kana nyika yikulu yashanduka pasi panzika yashoma, vashoma vanogona kubata nyika yashoma. Kana nyika yashoma yashanduka pasi panzika yeikulu, nyika yikulu ndiyo inogona kubata. Saka kushanduka pasi kunobata kana kushanduka pasi kunobata. Nyika yikulu haizoni chido chekuunganidza varanda; nyika yashoma hadzoni chido chekugara nemari. Zviviri zvinogona kupfuura zvinotenda, saka nyika yikulu yafanira kushanduka pasi.
