He’s quite good at climbing. He knows how to swing. But sleeping’s his favourite, favourite thing!
Ngenye imini, kwafika uSloth Vilavoco endwendwele.
Wathi, “Ndiyozela! Ndifuna isebe elihle, endingalala kulo!”
“Ndilichule lokugwencela. Ukujinga yinto endiyaziyo.
Kodwa ukulala, yeyona yona nto ndiyithandayo!”
“Eli sebe likhangeleka lilungile! Ndicinga ukulala kulo.
Wena? Ingaba awutsho ukuba yingcinga efanelekileyo leyo?”
“Hayi ndiyala, Sloth Vilavoco! Kukho indlulamthi etya apho!
Iya kucinga ukuba ulisebe lomthi, ze iqalise ukutya uboya bakho!”
“Eli sebe likhangeleka lilungile! Ndicinga ukulala kulo.
Wena? Ingaba awutsho ukuba yingcinga efanelekileyo leyo?”
“Hayi ndiyala, Sloth Vilavoco! Kukho indlu yeenyosi apho!
Soze ulale lelo bubu leenyosi zibhubhuzela apho!”
“Eli sebe likhangeleka lilungile! Ndicinga ukulala kulo.

Soze ulale yiloo ngxolo ilapho!”
“Zama ukunyuka uye kwelinye isebe, Vilavoco Sloth!” batsho bonke.
Kanti ke elo yayilelona sebe limlungeleyo, njengoko nabo batshoyo bebonke.
