Bhala incwadi enobungane kumnikazi wendlu yami, ubenze bavumelane nami ukuba ngithole ikati. Igama lakhe uGeorge futhi igama lami nginguSteve. Ngihlala ngedwa e-Unit 2C futhi ngisebenza amahora amaningi. Faka imininingwane ephathelene nenkontileka yami yokuqasha evumela kuphela izinja ezingaphansi kwamakhilogremu angu-25 nezilwane ezivalelwe futhi ezidinga idiphozi yezilwane ezifuywayo nokuqasha. Mnikeze izibonelo zokuthi kungani lezo zilwane zingafaneleki (kuhlanganise nokungezwani kwami nezinja) nokuthi kungani ikati lingcono. Mtshele ukuthi ngihlela ukusebenzisa irobhothi elihlanzayo nelisulayo ukuze kuhlale kuhlanzekile. Mtshele ukuthi sengithole isilwane esingaba isilwane ekhaya lezilwane lendawo, ikati elineminyaka emibili ubudala elisemzini wesilwane esihlala ekhaya elinobungane. Mkhumbuze ukuthi i-Unit 2C ayinawo ama-carpeted floors kanye negumbi lokugezela elinamathayili okuyinto enhle ebhokisini likasawoti lesikhathi esizayo. Mqinisekise ukuthi ngivulekile engxoxweni ukuze sixoxe ngokuqhubekayo.
Sawubona, George,  NginguSteve e-Unit 2C. Ngithemba ukuthi usuku lwakho luhamba kahle. Nginesicelo engingathanda ukusicela kuwe.  Njengoba wazi, ngihlala ngedwa. Bengilokhu ngicabanga ukuthola isilwane esifuywayo esizoba umngane wami, kodwa ngemva kokubukeza inkontileka yami yokuqasha, ngaphawula ukuthi izilwane ezivumelekile kuphela izinja ezincane nezilwane ezingagcinwa ethangini, njengama-hamster nezinhlanzi.  Ngithemba ukuthi uzophinde ucabangele le mingcele futhi ungivumele ukuba ngibe nekati. Ngizimisele kakhulu ukuhoxa esivumelwaneni sokuqasha ukuze kufakwe idiphozi edingekayo yezilwane ezifuywayo nokuqashiswa kwezilwane.  Ngacabanga ngenja, njengoba lezo zilwane sezivele zikhona esivumelwaneni, kodwa angiyifuni inja. Njengoba ngisebenza amahora amaningi, akulungile ukuba nenja eqenjini lami. I-unit yami incane futhi ingase ibe ne-claustrophobic yenja enamandla amaningi. Futhi angifuni ukushiya inja iyodwa ngoba ingase ikhonkothe futhi iphazamise abanye abaqashi esakhiweni. Izinja nazo ziyahlanza futhi zikhumule egcekeni elihlanganyelwayo elizungeze le ndawo, okuyinto embi, uma ucabangela ukuthi akubona bonke abantu abaqoqa udoti wezinja zabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nginokungezwani komzimba nezinja, ngakho lokhu akuzifaki izinja.  Ngiye ngacabanga nangokudla i-hamster noma inhlanzi, kodwa angifuni ukuba nalokhu. Okokuqala, azibaniki ubungane obufudumele bekati. Uma i-hamster ikhululeka, ingadala umonakalo omkhulu kakhulu kunekati - i-hamster ingase ikhiphe indle ezindaweni eziningi, ihlafune izintambo zikagesi, futhi ihlafune udonga oluhlanzekile. Izinhlanzi zingaba yinkinga uma ithangi liqhuma noma liphuka, okungabangela umonakalo omkhulu wamanzi phansi.  Ngiyaqaphela ukuthi kunezinkinga nganoma yisiphi isilwane esifuywayo, kuhlanganise namakati, futhi ngiyaqonda ukuthi abanye abaninikhaya banqikaza ukuvumela amakati, ngoba kunombono wokuthi amakati angase abe yingozi kakhulu, njengokuchama ezindaweni ezingafanele. Nokho, ngikholwa ukuthi ikati liyindlela engonakalisi kakhulu. Njengoba iyunithi lami lingenalo ukhaphethi, angikholwa ukuthi amabala okuchama okuchama azoba yinkinga. Amakati kulula ukuwaqeqesha ngamabhokisi enhlabathi futhi ngihlela ukubeka ibhokisi lenhlabathi egumbini lokugezela elinamathayili lapho kungekho khona ithuba lokuba umchamo ungene phansi. Amakati awonakalisi kangako kunezinja, ngoba awahlafuni izinto ezinjengempahla yasendlini neminyango. Amakati nawo awenzi umsindo onjengowezinja ezikhonkotha.  Sengiye ngahlola kakade izilwane ezifuywayo endaweni yokukhosela izilwane yasendaweni futhi ngathola umuntu engase ngihlale naye endlini, ikati elinobungane elineminyaka emibili ubudala eliqeqeshwe ekhaya futhi elihlala ebhokisini. Lesi isilwane esifuywayo esihle kakhulu, ngoba akudingeki ngibhekane nezingozi lapho ngifundisa ikati ukuba lihlale ebhokisini, futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ikati liyolimaza uma selivele lifundiswe ekhaya.  Ngikholelwa ukuthi ikati liyoba umngane ongcono kakhulu kimi, ngenxa yesimiso sami somsebenzi nendlela engithanda ngayo isilwane sami esifuywayo. Ngingajabula ukuxoxa ngesifiso sami mathupha futhi ngichaze kakhudlwana uhlelo lwami lokuthi ngizoqhubeka kanjani nokugcina indawo ihlanzekile futhi ihlanzekile nekati, njengokuthenga umshini wokuhlanza othomathikhi wamarobhothi nomshini wokuhlanza ukuze kuqinisekiswe indawo eyengeziwe ehlanzekile.  Ngicela ucabangele isicelo sami. Ngibheke phambili empendulweni yakho.  Ngobuqotho, USteve
