Narrated by Chilot Amara
There was a baboon who used to imitate what the student was doing every time. He used to get into trouble by writing on his exercise book.
One day the student got upset and came up with a sharpened knife and with the blunt side of the knife he pretended to cut his throat. The baboon saw him do this. When he realised the baboon had seen him he went, leaving the knife there.
Now the baboon came as usual and picked up the knife and cut his own throat.
ገመሬ ዝንጀሮና ተማሪው
በችሎት አማረ የተተረከ
በአንድ ወቅት ተማሪው የሚያደርገውን እያየ እርሱም ድርጊቱን የሚደግም ዝንጀሮ ነበር፡፡ የተማሪው መማሪያ ደብተር ውስጥም እየፃፈ ያስቸግረው ነበር፡፡
ታዲያ በዚህ ድርጊት የተበሳጨው ተማሪ አንድ ቀን የሰላ ቢላዋ ይዞ መጥቶ በደነዙ በኩል አንገቱን የሚያርድ መሰለ፡፡ ዝንጀሮውም ይህንን ያያል፡፡ ተማሪውም ዝንጀሮው እንደተመለከተው ባየ ጊዜ ቢላዋውን አዚያው ትቶ ሄደ፡፡
ዝንጀሮውም እንደልማዱ መጥቶ ቢላዋውን በማንሳት ራሱን አረደ፡፡
