Idaannaan wantoota hedduufi tola, miidhaan buufachiisuu dagaa, dhaloota buufachiisuf waan hidhuun yaada buufachiisa. Amma yoo idaanna irratti dhaabi dubbachuu fi miidhaa irratti dhaabi buufachuu fi dhaloota irratti dhaabiiti hunda maatii! Idaannni xiyyeeffama yeroon sirritti waggocha, waggochiiti xiyyeffama.
