Bano bapainiya bayile ku mapunzha apusana pusana kwabujile kuyapo basapwishi.
Bapainiya babujile mali a kupota myotoka baingijishanga makinga abo kuya na kusapwila mu mapunzha a mwalepa.

Kimye kimo mu lwendo lwabo lwa kusapwila mu mapunzha a mwalepa a mu Australia, bayanjile bingi pa milungu ibiji pa kubatu’mba bende makilomita 32, na mambo a kuba kwanokele mvula mukatampe walengejile mateshi mu kiselebwa. Bayandakene ne kusulwila na mambo a kuzonga kwa mute pa kushinjika uno motoka wabo mu busenga, mu bimpachiko mwajinga mabwe, ne pa kwabuka mikola mwavujile busenga. Bimye byavula motoka wabo inge wafwa, baendanga panshi nangwa kukyofwa makinga kuya ku muzhi wajinga pepi na kupembelela pa milungu yavula kuba’mba bebatumine kyela kyafwako ku motoka. Nangwa kya kuba bapichilenga mu ano makatazho, kechi balefwilwe ne. Kimye kimo, ba Arthur Willis baambile byambo byanembelwepo kala mu magazini wa Goldern Age (luno ke Labainga!), amba: “Kafwako makatazho akonsha kulengela Bakamonyi kukankalwa kusapwila ne.”
