stories that teach us life lessons
izindaba zisifundisa izifundo zempilo
they are old stories
yizindaba ezindala
we learn about life lessons which are told by elders
sifunda ngezifundo zempilo ezixoxelwa ngabantu abadala
they herd the cows
belusa izinkomo
to draw water

they like even the life there on the farm
