TEST 1
ANDEHA HIANATRA IZY DAHY
Raha vao vita sakafo maraina i Solofo sy i Fanja, dia indreny nivoaka ny trano handeha hianatra. (…)
-Aza miherikerika, ry Fanja a! ny làlana ihany jerena.
(…) Efa lasa lavidavitra izy mianadahy. Miherika farany any amin-dreniny izy ( I Fanja) sady manofahofa tànana azy. Valian-dreniny izany.
Dia nahazo hodimirana izy mianadahy. Raha vao nivily anefa izy, dia indro kosa fa nahita namana betsaka. Nisaraka izy mianadahy tamin’izay: i Solofo moa niaraka tamin’ny andian-jazalahy mitovitovy taona aminy, i Fanja kosa niaraka tamin’ny antokon-jazavavy sahalahala habe aminy. Vetivety dia tonga tany am-pianarana ireto ankizy, samy falifaly, samy miramirana.
