Ny saka kelin'i Solofo
Manana saka kely iray i Solofo izay tiany tokoa. I Mimi no anarana fiantsoany azy. Saka kely tena mahafinaritra, fa sady mahafatifaty no maneno tabataba eran'ny trano.
Ny volony dia fotsy mangatsakatsaka tsy ahitana pentina kely akory sady malambolambo; ny fihetsiny rehetra kosa mahafinaritra izaitsizy. Izany izy rehefa misasa maraina ange! Iny izy aloha raha vao mifoha fa manatsotra ireo tanana sy tongo-keliny, dia mipetraka misonanina tsara.
Lelafiny amin' ilay lelakeliny mavokely ny tana-keliny iray, dia faohany amin'iny daholo na ilay tarehy keliny, na ireo maso keliny roa maintimainty - izay mamiratra amin'ny alina - na ireo sofiny kely ranga. Averiny imbetsaka izany fihetsika izany, ka tsy mijanona izy raha tsy efa madio daholo ny tenany manontolo.
