Ni ibintu tugiye kongera gusuzuma turebe niba ibyo bari kuvuga koko ari byo. Ubundi amabwiriza nk'aya impinduka abantu ntibazumva vuba, ariko turizera ko nyuma y'amezi atatu abantu bazageraho bakazubahiza.'

Usanga rero abazifite hafi ari bake cyane. Ari nacyo dushishikariza abacuruzi kugira ngo zikwirakwizwe hirya no hino mu ntara.'
