Ni we Wangûi,

Is it you Wangui

Rîûrî!
NOW!!

Kamwira ûthiete thavarî kûu ûrathie kûraihu, nûmûhaka ngûtaqre ûhoro mûritû.

Before you leave for your long safari to that far away place. I must tell you some very important stuff.

1. Nûmûhoka wî menyerere mûno. Ûririkane atî wî kairîtu kanini, gathaka. To mûhaka warie na ando othe (ando othe ti ega – gwîhoka ûgwo ni ûîî). Ûmenyere mûno ando arîa mohanaga ta nyamû îrîa îtagûo ‘wolf’ mekîrîte ngûo cia mbûri. Gwîhoka nûûranyita ûrîa ndîrakwîra.

1.You MUST take care of yourself. Remember you are a young beautiful girl. You do not have to talk to everybody(everybody is not nice.I trust that you know that.) Be careful of those people who are wolves in sheeps skin. I trust that you understand what I am telling you.

2. Ûcoke ûrikane atî wee ûreretwo wega. Tûtikwenda ûthie ûtû conore. Nûmûhaka ûkorowo na tabia njega thaa ciothe.

2. Remember that you have been raised well/properly. We do not want you to go there and embarass us. You have to be at your best behaviour all the time.

3. N îjûûe nîwendete kûnyûa gachohii rimwe na rimwe (na ndirauga gûcemania na arata rimwe na rimwe nî ûrû). No rîrî, ûhoro wa kûnywa njohii atî tûtûmagîrwo marûa nî andû acio mûraikara naao tûtikwenda. Ngwîhoka tûmûhaka njokere ûhoro ûcio.

3. I know that you like drinking alchohol every once in a while( and I am not saying that meeting with friends for a drink every once in a while is bad) BUT we do not want to receive letters from the people you are going to live with saying that you are drinking. I am sure I do not have to repeat this again.

4. Wagîthie nakuo ndûgakîriganwa gucoka. Waikara gûkîra thiku iria wagîrîire umenyerere mûno. Nîwatiga gathuri nyûmba – wahota gukora nikonire onge.

4. When you go there do not forget to come back.If you stay longer than you are supposed to please take care of yourself. You have left a husband in the house, you might find he found himself another wife.

Ûngîhota kûnyitirera ûhoro ûyû ndakwîra maûndû maku nî magûthie wega mûno.

If you hold on to these words I have given you, your manenos will go very well.

Ûkorowo na thavarî njega na mwathani akûrathime.

Have a wonderful trip and God bless you.

Nî niî tataguo,

It’s your aunt
