Original Text: Sheekadii Timmy Tiptoes
Beri baa waxaa jiray dabagaalle yar oo buurbuuran, raaxo leh, oo cawlan oo la oran jiray Timmy Tiptoes. Wuxuu lahaa buul caleemo lagu daboolay oo ku yaal geed dheer dushiisa, iyo xaas dabagaalle yar ah oo la yiraahdo Goody.
Timmy Tiptoes wuxuu fadhiyay bannaanka isagoo ku raaxaysanaya neecawda; wuxuu ruxay dabadiisa wuuna qoslay—
"Xaaskayga yar Goody, miruhu way bislaadeen; waa inaan samaynaa kayd xilliga jiilaalka iyo gu'ga."
Goody Tiptoes waxay ku mashquulsanayd inay cawska qoyan geliso saqafka cawska ah hoostiisa—
"Buulku aad buu u diirran yahay, jiilaalka oo dhan hurdo qoto dheer ayaan seexan doonnaa."
"Markaas waxaan toosi doonnaa innagoo aad u caato ah, marka aysan jirin wax la cuno xilliga gu'ga," ayuu ku jawaabay Timothy oo taxaddar badnaa.
Markii Timmy iyo Goody Tiptoes ay yimaadeen kaynta lawska, waxay arkeen in dabagaaleyaal kale ay halkaas horay u sii joogeen.
Timmy wuxuu iska bixiyay jaakaddiisii oo uu ka soo suray laan yar; waxayna keligood u shaqaysteen si aamusnaan ah.
Maalin kasta waxay sameeyeen dhowr safar oo ay soo gurteen xaddi badan oo lows ah. Waxay ku qaadeen kiishash, oo ay ku keydiyeen dhowr jirridood oo godan oo u dhow geedka ay ka dhisteen buulkooda.
Markii jirridahan ay buuxsameen, waxay bilaabeen inay jawaannada ku faaruqiyaan dalool ku yaal meel sare oo geed ah kaas oo ay lahaan jirtay shimbirta qoryaha qodda; lawskuna isagoo shanqadhaya ayuu gudaha u daatay hoos—hoos—hoos.
“Sidee baad waligaa dib ugu soo bixin doontaa? Waxay u eg tahay sanduuqa lacagta!“ ayay tiri Goody.
“Aad baan u caatoobi doonaa ka hor xilliga gu'ga, macaantayda,“ ayuu yiri Timmy Tiptoes, isagoo daloolka gudaha u eegaya.
Waxay ururiyeen xaddi badan—maxaa yeelay ma aysan luminin! Dabagaalayaasha ku aasa lawsaskooda dhulka waxay lumiyaan in ka badan kala bar, maxaa yeelay ma xusuusan karaan goobta.
Dabagaalihii ugu hilmaamka badnaa ee kaynta waxaa la oran jiray Silvertail. Wuxuu bilaabay inuu qodo, mana uusan xusuusan karin. Kadibna mar kale ayuu qoday wuxuuna helay lawsas uusan isagu lahayn; waxaana dhacay dagaal. Dabagaalayaal kale ayaa iyaguna bilaabay inay qodaan,—kayntii oo dhan ayaa qas gashay!
Nasiib darro, isla markaas raxan shimbirro yaryar ah ayaa soo duulay, iyagoo ka duulaya duur ilaa duur, oo raadinaya diir cagaaran iyo caarooyin. Waxaa jiray noocyo dhowr ah oo shimbirro yaryar ah, oo ku heesaya heeso kala duwan.
Midda koowaad waxay ku heestay—
"Yaa soo faagayay lowskayga? Yaa-soo-faagayay-lowskayga?"
Mid kalena waxay ku heestay—
"In yar oo rooti ah iyo-farmaajo-la'aan! In yar-oo-rooti ah iyo-farmaajo-la'aan!"
Dabagaaleyaashii way daba galeen oo dhegaysteen. Shimbirtii yarayd ee ugu horraysay ayaa u duushay duurka halkaas oo Timmy iyo Goody Tiptoes ay si aamusnaan ah ugu xirayeen boorsooyinkooda, waxayna ku heestay—
"Yaa soo qodayay lowskayga? Yaa soo qodayay lowskayga?"
Timmy Tiptoes wuxuu sii watay shaqadiisa isagoon u jawaabin; dhab ahaan, shimbirta yar ma filayn wax jawaab ah. Waxay kaliya qaadaysay heesteeda dabiiciga ah, mana lahayn wax macno ah haba yaraatee.
Laakiin markii dabagaaleyaashii kale ay maqleen heestaas, waxay ku soo yaaceen Timmy Tiptoes oo ay garaaceen oo ay xagteen, waxayna daadiyeen kiishkiisii lowska ahaa. Shimbirtii yarayd ee aan waxba galabsan ee sababtay dhibkan oo dhan, ayaa baqdin la duushay!
Timmy ayaa is rogrogay, ka dibna dib u jeestay oo u cararay dhanka buulkiisii, waxaana soo eryanayay koox dabagaaleyaal ah oo ku qeylinaya—
“Yaa-soo-qodayay lowskayga?“
Way qabteen oo waxay u jiideen kor isla geedkii, halkaas oo uu ku yaallay godkii yaraa ee wareegsanaa, gudaha ayayna u riixeen. Godku aad buu ugu yaraa jidhka Timmy Tiptoes. Si xun ayay u tuujiyeen, waxay ahayd layaab inaanay jebin feerihiisa.
"Halkan ayaan kaga tagaynaa ilaa uu ka qirto," ayuu yidhi Silvertail Squirrel, wuxuuna ku dhex qayliyey godka—<br>"Yaa-soo-qodayay laws-kayga?"
Timmy Tiptoes wax jawaab ah ma bixin; wuxuu hoos ugu dhex dhacay geedka gudihiisa, wuxuuna ku dul dhacay nus beeg lows ah oo uu isagu lahaa. Wuxuu u jiifay isagoo aad u wareersan oo aan dhaqaaqayn.
Goody Tiptoes ayaa qaadatay kiishashkii lowska oo guriga aadday. Waxay Timmy u samaysay koob shaah ah; laakiin muu iman, muuna iman.
Goody Tiptoes waxay qaadatay habeen cidlo iyo murugo leh. Subaxdii xigtay waxay ku dhiiratay inay dib ugu noqoto duurkii lowska si ay u raadiso; laakiin dabagaaleyaashii kale ee aan naxariista lahayn ayaa eryay.
Waxay dhex mushaaxday kaynta oo dhan, iyadoo ku dhawaaqaysa—
“Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tiptoes! Oh, aaway Timmy Tiptoes?“
Dhanka kale, Timmy Tiptoes ayaa miyirsaday. Wuxuu is-arkay isagoo lagu huwiyay sariir yar oo aja ah, meel aad u mugdi ah, isagoo xanuun dareemaya; waxay u ekayd inay tahay dhulka hoostiisa. Timmy ayaa qufacay oo taahay maxaa yeelay feerihiisa ayaa xanuunayay. Waxaa la maqlay dhawaaq ciyaan ah, waxaana soo muuqday Chipmunk yar oo xariijimo leh oo wata laambadda habeenkii, wuxuuna u rajeeyay inuu roonaado.
Aad ayuu ugu naxariistay Timmy Tiptoes; wuxuu amaahiyay koofiyaddiisa hurdada, guriguna wuxuu ka buuxay sahay.
Dabagaallihii wuxuu sharraxay in laws ka soo da'ay dusha sare ee geedka—
“Intaas waxaa dheer, waxaan helay qaar yar oo aasan!“
Wuu qoslay oo farxay markuu maqlay sheekadii Timmy. Intii Timmy sariirta ku xannibnaa, wuxuu ku sasabay inuu cuno xaddi badan—
“Laakiin sideen weligay uga bixi doonaa daloolkaas haddaanan is caatayn? Xaaskaygu way welweli doontaa!“
“Kaliya hal laws oo kale—ama laba laws; aan kuu jabiyee,“ ayuu yidhi Dabagaallihii. Timmy Tiptoes wuxuu noqday mid sii buuran oo sii buuran!
Hadda Goody Tiptoes waxay keligeed dib u bilawday shaqadii. Ma aysan gelin wax laws dambe ah godka shimbirta qoryaha qodda, sababtoo ah mar walba waxay ka shakisanayd sida dib looga soo saari lahaa. Waxay ku qarisay xidid geed hoostiis; hoos, hoos, hoos ayay u dhaceen iyagoo shanqadhaya. Mar markii Goody ay faaruqisay kiishad aad u weyn oo buuxda, waxaa yeeray dhawaaq ciin ah oo cad; markii xigtayna ee Goody ay keentay kiishad kale oo buuxda, Chipmunk yar oo xariijimo leh ayaa si degdeg ah bannaanka ugu soo yaacay.
“Dabaqa hoose wuxuu noqonayaa mid aad u buuxsamay; qolka fadhigu wuu buuxsamay, waxayna ku giringiranayaan marinka; ninkaygiina, Chippy Hackee, wuu cararay oo wuu iga tagay. Waa maxay sharaxaadda roobkan lowska ah?“
“Aad baan kaaga raalli-gelinayaa; ma ogeyn in cidna ay halkan ku nooshahay,“ ayay tiri Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; “laakiin aaway Chippy Hackee? Ninkaygii, Timmy Tiptoes, isna wuu cararay.“ “Waan ogahay meesha uu Chippy joogo; shimbir yar ayaa ii sheegtay,“ ayay tiri Mrs. Chippy Hackee.
Waxay horseedday jidka loo maro geedka shimbirta qoryaha garaacda, oo waxay ka dhegeysteen daloolka.
Xagga hoose waxaa ka yeerayay dhawaqa lowska la jebinayo, iyo cod dabagaalle oo buuran iyo cod dabagaalle oo dhuuban oo wada heesaya—
“Odaygayga yar iyo aniga waan is-qabannay,
Sideen arrintan u xallinnaa?
U xalli sida ugu wanaagsan ee aad karto,
Oo iska tag, odayga yaroow!“
"Waad isku soo ciriirin kartaa, daloolkaas yar ee wareegsan," ayay tiri Goody Tiptoes. "Haa, waan awoodaa," ayay tiri Chipmunk, "laakiin seygeyga, Chippy Hackee, wax buu qaniinaa!"
Xagga hoose waxaa ka yeerayay shanqarta lowska la jabinayo iyo ruugid; ka dibna codka dabagaallaha buuran iyo codka dabagaallaha dhuuban ayaa heesay—
"For the diddlum day
Day diddle dum di!
Day diddle diddle dum day!"
Markaas ayay Goody godka ka dhex fiirisay, oo ay hoos ugu yeertay—
“Timmy Tiptoes! Alla, Timmy Tiptoes!“
Timmy-na wuu u jawaabay,
“Ma adigaa, Goody Tiptoes? Haa, dabcan!“
Kor ayuu u soo baxay oo uu Goody godka dhexdiisa uga dhunkaday; laakiin aad buu u buurnaa oo uu bannaanka u soo bixi waayay.
Chippy Hackee aad uma buurnayn, laakiin ma uusan doonayn inuu soo baxo; hoos ayuu iska joogay oo uu qosol hoose qoslayay.
Sidaas ayayna ku sii socotay muddo laba toddobaad ah, ilaa dabayl weyni ay ka duulisay dusha sare ee geedka oo ay furtay daloolkii roobkiina soo daysay.
Kadibna Timmy Tiptoes ayaa soo baxay oo gurigiisii aaday isagoo dallad wata.
Laakiin Chippy Hackee wuxuu sii waday inuu bannaanka deganaado toddobaad kale, in kasta oo aysan raaxo lahayn.
Ugu dambayntii, orso weyn ayaa soo lugeeyay kaynta dhexdeeda. Malaha isaguna wuxuu raadinayay lows; wuxuu u muuqday inuu hareeraha urinayo.
Chippy Hackee wuxuu ku degdegay gurigiisii!
Oo markii Chippy Hackee uu guriga yimid, wuxuu ogaaday inuu hargab madaxa ka qaaday; oo uu xitaa dareemay raaxo-darro ka sii badan.
Haddana Timmy iyo Goody Tiptoes waxay kaydkooda lawska ku xidhaan quful yar.
Iyo marka kasta oo shimbirtaas yari ay aragto Chipmunks-ka, waxay ku heestaa—
“Yaa-soo-qodayay lows-kayga?
Yaa soo qodayay lows-kayga?“
Laakiin cidna weligeed ma jawaabto!
