Ipulazi izingane ketazali nazo zindawonye. Badla izithelo namajikijolo, izinambuzane, izibankwakazi ezincane namasele.
Amaviki amathathu, amachwane asukuma ephikweni, ngalesi sikhathi umama awashiya, futhi i-padasch isahlula inzalo yakhe. UKetali undizela kabi, ehlathini kunezingozi eziningi ehlathini, ikakhulukazi ubungozi bonyaka wokuqala. Izitha eziphambili zalezi zinsolo ziyizikhova nokhozi.
Kepha abantu baba izitha eziphambili zezinyoni ezingcwele. Ngaphambi kokuvela kwabaseSpain emazweni aseNdiya emahlathini kwakukhona eziningi zalezi zinyoni ezinhle.
