BI. ROSA:

Wikiendi hii nitakwenda kwenye sherehe ya arusi.

Niliombwa na wazee wa biarusi kuwasaidia mata-

yarisho ya chakula. Kwa kweli ndiye baba yake biarusi aliyeniomba kuhudhuria kwenye sherehe hiyo ya arusi.

BI. HAWA: Mimi pia nitahudhuria kwenye sherehe ya arusi wikiendi hii. Nilialikwa pamoja na kikundi changu cha wanamuziki, kuimba nyimbo kwenye sherehe hiyo.

Ndiye biarusi mwenyewe aliyenialika.

BI. ROSA:

Jamani! Labda sisi sote tunakwenda kwenye sherehe hiyohiyo.
