He closed his eyes for a moment to remember the scenes. The lightness on the back of the dragon, the gate of the city, before which the two sacred sycomas stood. He started to tell the story slowly. It was described as a large circular city full of light even at night. He described his journey on the back of a dragon and a long-haired old man who waited for him in the middle of the garden near the big house. He tried to describe the fragments of the activities that the dream had revealed to him and the words he had heard. Then he finished, but the feeling that he had forgotten something essential remained in him. But he could not remember.
Alifumba macho kwa muda kukumbuka matukio. Wepesi wa nyuma ya joka, lango la mji, ambalo mbele yake ile mikuyu miwili mitakatifu ilisimama. Alianza kusimulia hadithi polepole.

Lakini hakuweza kukumbuka.
