kumwandika kuwa mrithi wa mali zake zote pindi mzee atakapoiaga dunia. Mzee huyu alimiliki biashara kubwa sana sana na zenye kuingiza kipato kikubwa na aliogopeka
sana sana katika eneo hilo hasa kwa kwa utajiri wake na ukatili wake pia.
Siku moja mzee huyo alipata taarifa kuwa mtoto wake wa pekee alikuwa na uhusiano wa kimapenzi na kijana mmoja ambaye anatoka katika familia isiyojiweza na tena ya kimaskini sana,na wazai wake walikuwa wakifanya kazi katika
moja ya mashamba ya tajiri huyo.

Translation - English There was an old man who was very rich. This old man was blessed with one daughter whom he loved very much and even chose her in his will as his inheritor after his death. The old man owned large businesses that brought him a lot of money and people really feared him in that area due to his wealth and his cruelty too.
One day the old man was informed that his only child was having a romantic relationship with a young man from a family that couldn't take care of itself well and again were very poor. The boy's parents worked in one of the rich man's farms.
That rich man was filled with anger and considered it disrespect of the highest order to his family, and when he called his daughter and asked her she confirmed the news, the old man in anger sacked that young man's parents from his farm and promised to handsomely pay any police officer who could arrest and detain that young man.
