GIRL IN THE FOREST.

INSERT 07.

NARRATED .

After leaving the palace most of the maidens were so happy , A group of 4 maidens were discussing this whole matter..

Lindiwe :i think the king will pick me because i believe I have all the features he needs in a woman ..

Khanyisile :unamanga mngani (you're lying friend) the king shall choose me and you'll witness it ..

Nolwazi :since I'm the most prettiest among y'all the king shall choose me to be his wife..

Nompilo who has been quiet since they left the palace..

Nompilo :mina i really doubt the King will pick me because I'm so ugly.

Lindiwe :*laughing* and you're right he'll never pick you , you're so ugly

Khanyisile :ha.a lindiwe stop being rude to her she's your twin for goodness sake ..

Lindiwe :*laughing* she can be my twin sister but yhey she's ugly marn ..

Nolwazi :unamanga lindiwe(you're lying lindiwe) Nompilo is beautiful and her darkskin suits her .

Nompilo :guys i think Lindiwe is right , I'm ugly and you guys are just trying to make me feel better..

Nolwazi :what?! are you listening to yourself? umuhle Nompilo ungamnaki uLindiwe (you're beautiful Nompilo don't mind Lindiwe)

Lindiwe :there's no way a darkskinned girl like Nompilo could be beautiful , you're just trying to make her feel better..

Lindiwe :yeah you're right and I can't wait to be the wife of the King , I'll be your queen ..

The maidens made their ways home . Lindiwe and Nompilo entered their home and their mother busy sewing some Zulu attires , their mother was a well known sewer and almost everyone in this village is wearing attires sewed by her , she was MaNdlovu.
