“Oowa Oowa mtoto Oowa

Usilie mtoto usilie

Mama kaenda kazini O-owa

Baba kaenda kazini O-owa

Kukuletea haluwa O-owa

Owa Owa mtoto.....

Mara kwawaka umeme na fujo yaanza. Mayowe ya wanawake wanaoomboleza kwa kelele sana na kwa sauti ya kusikitisha sana. Taa zaanza kuwaka polepole na wanawake watatu wanapanda jukwaani polepole. Wawili wanapiga mayowe sana na kulia kwa kwikwi. Mmoja wa hao asikitisha sana maana ni mtoto mbichi wa kama miaka 16 hivi ana mimba na amevaa matambara; mikono kichwani akilia sana. Wa pili ana mtoto mchanga mkononi aliyfunikwa vizuri – mama huyu pia amevaa vizuri lakini analia kwa uchungu. Wa tatu anayepanda jukwaani mbele ana mtoto mgongoni, kitunga kikukuu-kuu alichojiangika begani na tita la kuni kichwani.  Amelemewa sana na mizigo hiyo. Yeye halii lakini anaonyesha huzuni na ananungunika. Mara kwa mara awatazama hao wawili waliao na kusema huku waliao wakipunguza mayowe – asema huku akitua tita la kuni na kitunga.
