De två tvillingarna Det var en gång två elefanter som var gifta med varandra. De hade två barn. Barnen var tvillingar och båda var flickor. De hette Shakira och Sharifa. Shakira var den snygga tvillingen och Sharifa var den fula tvillingen. Deras föräldrar tyckte mest om Shakira som var snygg och Sharifa tyckte de inte om för hon var ful, hon fick stryk, städade huset och gjorde allt möjligt som behövdes göras, medan Shakira fick göra vad hon ville. En dag så sa deras föräldrar till Sharifa att hon skulle hitta någon annan stans att bo. Sharifa blev jätte ledsen och tog saker och gick sin väg. På vägen såg hon en gammal tant som bar en stor korg med många tunga saker. Sharifa gick fram till kvinnan och frågade henne om hon behövde hjälp, och tanten svarade ja tack. Sharifa hjälpte tanten tills hon var framme där hon skulle. När de var hem hos tanten, frågade hon om Sharifa ville ha mat. Sharifa svarade ja med stor glädje. Maten är i spisen, men ät inte på tallrik, ät inte med gaffeln eller sked och tvätta inte händerna när du har ätit klart. Sharifa var jätte hungrig, men hon gjorde precis som tanten hade sagt. Efter maten sa tanten till Sharifa att öppna en stor rosa väska. Där hittade hon många dyrbara saker och allting hon alltid hade önskat sig. Sharifa blev jätte rik och hon blev rikast i hela landet. När hennes föräldrar fick veta det, gick de genast och frågade henne om hon kunde bo med dem. Men tyvärr var det för sent Sharifa tackade nej, och hon levde lycklig i alla sina dagar. Man kan inte döma någon efter utseendet. Av Sharifa Annet Sekajja

The two twins. Once upon a time there were two elephants who were married to each other. They had two children. The children were twins and they were both girls. They were called Shakira and Sharifa. Shakira was the beautiful twin and Sharifa was the ugly one. Their parents liked Shakira the most who was beautiful but they didn't like Sharifa because she was ugly. She was beaten up every day, had to clean the house and did everything that was needed to be done. While Shakira was allowed to do whatever she wanted. One day their parents told Sharifa that she should find somewhere else to stay. Sharifa was very sad and took her things and went her own way. On her way she saw an old woman who carried a basket with many heavy things. Sharifa went up to the woman and asked her if she needed help, and the old woman answered: - Yes, thank you. Sharifa helped the old woman until they came where the she was going. When they were at the old woman's house, the old woman asked Sharifa if she wanted food and Sharifa answered yes with big joy. The food is in the oven, but don't eat on a plate, don't eat with a fork or spoon and don't wash your hands after eating. Sharifa was very hungry, but she did just like the old woman had told her. After eating the old woman told Sharifa to open a pink bag. There she found many precious things and everything she had ever wished for. Sharifa became very rich and was the richest in the hole country. When her parents found out, they went immediately to her and asked her to live with them. But what a pity! It was to late and Sharifa answered no, and lived happy in all her days. You can't judge anybody by the looks. By Sharifa Sekajja
