Sezvandairamba ndichikura, mazuva akatanga kuita mapfupi. Chinhu chandaifarira zvikuru pazuva racho chaiva kunzwa mhepo ichivhuvhuta nomumushonga wangu mutsva wetsono. Yakanga isiri chinhu chikuru chokutarira, asi ndakanga ndichidada. Ndaiwanzotarira miti mikuru yaindikomberedza. Ndinoshuva sei kuva mumwe wemiti mikuru yeredwood. Vakanga vari madzimambo esango; hapana chakanga chakakwirira. Ndaida kuona zvavaigona kuona kubva kumusoro ikoko. Rimwe zuva ndichava mumwe wavo.  Mazuva akachinja kuva mavhiki, uye mavhiki akava makore, uye zvose zvaiita sokunge zvaimhanyiswa zvokuti ndaisagona kunyatsocherechedza kuchinja kwaiita nyika yaindipoteredza. Ndakanga ndakura zvakakwana kuti ndione napakati penzvimbo yakavhurika iri mudenga. Kunze kwemiti yedu kwaiva negomo remimwe isingaverengeki. Ndichitarira kure, ndakatanga kunzwa ndiri muduku.
