Kwesinye isikhathi, u-Roddy wacishe wahluleka ukuzibamba, lolu hlobo lokuziphatha lucishe lwaluyeka lushabalala.Umsakazi kaRoddy ungumngane wami, u-Angela.Ngesinye isikhathi, lapho beyoshaywa umoya, umfana oweve eshumini nambili weza kuyo wafuna ukuyithinta.URoddy akamazi lo mfana, waqala wamemeza futhi wagqolozela umfana.Umfana akanawo umonakalo osobala, kodwa okumangazayo, emahoreni ambalwa kamuva, umama womfana (akazange) e-alamu yesigameko wabamba i-roddy, ecabanga ngayo “njengenja engase ibe yingozi”.Eminyakeni eyalandela, abampofu e-roddy lapho behamba beyogqoka umkhono ogelezayo.Uma iphinda igalela ngenduku umuntu oyedwa, uyophawulwa ngokuthi umbulali, futhi angase abulawe nokubulawa.
Umfana uyamesaba uRoddy, ngakho-ke zizwe uRoddy ethukuthele futhi eyingozi.Lapho uhlangana nenja ekhonkothayo, ithukuthele ngempela?Noma lesi isenzo nje sokuvikela izindawo, noma ukukushaya uklabalasa uzama nje ukuveza ubungane kuwe?Ngamafuphi, izinja zingaba nemizwa?
Ngokomqondo ovamile, impendulo yethu ngokuvamile ithi “yebo”.Lapho u-Roddy ebhonga, angezwa imizwa.Abathengi abaningi kakhulu bayaxoxwa ngale nkinga, okuhlanganisa nekaMarc Bekoff.Ukuphila Okungokomzwelo Kwezilwane, Virginia Morell'sUhlakaniphe Ngezilwanekanye noGregory Burn'sIndlela Izinja Ezisithanda Ngayo.Inqwaba yezindaba zezindaba zethulwa imizwelo yezilwane ehlobene nokutholakala kwesayensi: inja izoba nomona, amagundane angathola ukuzisola, i-crayfish ingaba nokukhathazeka, futhi ngisho nokundiza kuzosaba i-fly swatter.Yiqiniso, uma uhlala nesilwane esifuywayo, ngokuqinisekile uzowathola abukeka eziphatha ngokomzwelo kakhulu: ukwesaba nxazonke, ukugxuma okujabulisayo, ukugquma lapho udabukile, u-purr lapho uphulula.Ngokusobala, indlela yokuhlangenwe nakho kwezilwane imizwa ibonakala ifana nabantu.[1]Ngamagama Angaphezu Kwamagama: Lokho Izilwane Ezicabanga Ukuzizwa, umlobi uKarl schaffner washaya isikhonkwane ekhanda ukuze aveze: “Pho, ezinye izilwane zinemizwelo yomuntu?Yebo, akhona.Khona-ke umuntu unemizwa yesilwane?Yebo, kuyafana.”

Izigidi zabanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo zikholelwa ukuthi izinja zabo ziyabhonga lapho zithukuthele, ngokudabuka lapho zicindezelekile, zizofihla amakhanda azo ngokuhlazeka.Kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi le mibono iwukukhohlisa nje kwesilwane okusekelwe kokunye ukusabela okujwayelekile kwemizwelo kokukhohlisa.
