A Snake Story

Vitu vingi vimetukia hapa. Juzi tulimwona nyoka wa sumu. (Mimi namwogopa nyoka sana). Lucio, Narooma, mwalimu na mimi tulijifunza Kiswahili kwa bidii, na Narooma akisema, "Mimi nina mwona chura." Halafu yeye akasema, "Sasa mimi nimamwona nyoka pia. Nyoka nyuma ya Christine!" Halafu mimi na mwalimu tukamkimbia nyoka. Walimu wengine na watu wengi walikuja na kumpiga nyoka. Baada ya nyoka kufa, turudi na kujifunza kwa bidii tena. (Nyoka alikuwa mdogo na mweusi na wa kijani).

Translation:
Many things have happened here. Two days ago we saw a poisonous snake. (I am very scared of snakes). Lucio, Narooma, the teacher, and I were studying Swahili [outside] with energy, and Narooma said, "I see a frog." Then she said, "Now I see a snake too. The snake is right behind Christine!" Then the teacher and I ran away from the snake. Other teachers and many people came and beat the snake. After the snake was dead, we returned to studying with effort. (The snake was small and was black and green).
