Oluvannyuma lw’ekiseera, Falaawo asunguwalira omusenero we n’omufumbiro we era n’abateeka mu kkomera. Ekiro kimu, buli omu aloota ekirooto eky’enjawulo, naye tebamanyi makulu ga birooto byabwe. Enkeera Yusufu abagamba: ‘Mumbuulire ebirooto byammwe.’ Era bwe bamubuulira, Yusufu ng’alina obuyambi bwa Katonda, abannyonnyola amakulu g’ebirooto byabwe.

Yusufu agamba bw’ati omusenero: ‘Mu nnaku ssatu ojja kusumululwa okuva mu kkomera, era ojja kuddamu okubeera omusenero wa Falaawo.’ N’olwekyo, Yusufu ayongerezaako: ‘Bw’onoosumululwa, buulira Falaawo ebinkwatako, onnyambe okuva mu kifo kino.’ Naye omufumbiro Yusufu amugamba: ‘Mu nnaku ssatu zokka Falaawo ajja kulagira bakutemeko omutwe.’

Mu nnaku ssatu Yusufu by’agambye butuukirira. Falaawo alagira ne batemako omutwe gw’omufumbiro. Kyokka, omusenero asumululwa mu kkomera era n’addamu okuweereza kabaka. Naye, omusenero yeerabirira ddala Yusufu! Tabuulira Falaawo bimukwatako, era Yusufu asigala mu kkomera.
