Hadithi Ya Jogoo Wa Ajabu Page

Kulikuwa zamani kijiji kidogo kilichojaa uzuri wa asili: mashamba ya mahindi, miti ya matunda, na vilima vilivyong'aa kwa jua wa asubuhi. Walakini, miongoni mwa wale wote aliyeishi kijijini pale kulikuwa jogoo mmoja aliyekuwa tofauti na wengine — Jogoo wa Ajabu.

Hadithi hii inaanza usiku wa mwezi mpevu. Malkia Nyota – mnyambizi wa usiku – alikuwa akitembea kando ya mto wa Upepo. Alimkuta kifaranga mdogo aliyetengwa na kundi lake. Kifaranga huyo alikuwa hawezi kuruka, hawezi kuimba, na alikuwa akitetemeka kwa baridi.

Malkia Nyota alimhurumia. Akamchukua kwa kibwebwe chake, akampeleka hekaluni mwa mwezi. Huko, mwezi mwenyewe aliombewa kifaranga huyo kwa siku saba. Mwezi ulimpulizia chembechembe za nuru ya fedha, akimpa sifa tatu za ajabu:

Kifaranga alipogeuka kuwa jogoo mzima, alikuwa ana majina matatu: Jogoo Mweupe (kwa sababu ya nuru ya mwezi mwilini mwake), Mwangaza wa Asubuhi (kwa sababu anaiamsha dunia), na Simulizi Hai (kwa sababu alijua hadithi zote zilizopita na zijazo).

Habari za jogoo wa ajabu zilivuka mipaka. Mfanyabiashara tajiri kutoka nchi ya ng’ambo, Bwana Kijaniro, aliamua kuteka Majinuni kwa nguvu. Alileta wanaume wake wenye bunduki na nyavu za chuma.

Usiku mmoja, walimvizia Bibi Mwanamvua na kumfunga. Wakamtaka aonyeshe alipo Majinuni. Lakini jogoo wa ajabu alikuwa anajua siri za muda—alishaona tukio hili katika macho yake ya samawati siku kumi zilizopita. hadithi ya jogoo wa ajabu

Aliwakaribia wawindaji kwa utulivu, akijigeuza kuwa nyoka mwenye sumu kali. Watu wa Kijaniro walipojaribu kumshika, walijikuta wakishika nyoka tu. Jogoo alipowasumbua, alitoweka na kujitokeza upande wa pili wa kijiji, akiwa amejigeuza kuwa mwanadamu mzee mwenye fimbo.

Hatimaye, alipochoka na ujinga wao, alirejea umbo lake la kwanza, akapanda juu ya mwamba mrefu zaidi wa Mabondeni (unaoitwa Mlima wa Ndege), akawika wimbo wa tatu—Wimbo wa Upofu. Mara moja, macho ya wawindaji wote yakawa meusi. Walipoteza njia na kuanguka katika bonde la mabwege.

Kabla ya kurudi, Bwana Kijaniro aliomba msamaha akilia. Majinuni akawa huruma, akawa rudishia macho, lakini akawaonya: “Mradi mkumbuke kwamba nguvu zangu sio za ujangili, bali za kulinda. Rudini nyumbani na mwambie ulimwengu: Jogoo wa ajabu ni mlinzi wa wanyonge.”

Kijiji kilikua na uzalishaji mzuri, na sakafu za nyumba zilijazwa na nafaka mpya kila mwaka.

Kabila la ndege waliokaa shambani walimwona kutoka muda wa kwanza — wake alikuwa na manyoya yenye rangi za dhahabu na bluu, na mshipa wake wa mate ulipeperuka kwa umbo tofauti. Aliitwa “Ajabu” kwa sababu alifanya mambo yasiyotarajiwa: alikuwa na sauti laini kama sauti ya filimbi, lakini pia alikuwa mwenye akili sana.
