Teng jenti ki lebah kareta

Chuma bichu anela.

Olotu lebah kareta mutu bagah-bagah

Kung kuidadu,

Fazeh jenti lebah kareta mutu presta,

Chuma sentupah, fikah raiba.


Teng tantu jenti lebah kareta

Chuma bilalang,

Olotu bai di skedu na dretu,

Ngka indikah,

Ngka lembrah seguransa

Kung nteh katasia.


Otru jenti lebah kareta

Chuma chichak.

Olotu fikah impregadu na rua impekadu

Kema olotu ntregah angkosa,

Olotu fixa olu na kasa fazeh rua inkazadu

Pa otru jenti lebah kareta.


Kifoi olotu ngka lembrah

Regulasang pra jenti lebah kareta?

Olotu ja fikah belu

Ke impodih lembrah?

Patricia Maria de Souza's first book Hasnah and the Doll was published in 1980. At the time, most books for children were set in foreign countries and to aid in the understanding and encouraging of reading, she set her stories and poems within a local environment. She attended writing workshops and had exchanges with writers in the Asian-Pacific region and the U.K. and progressed from writing for children to writing for adults. She also wrote travel articles in the local newspaper and had the opportunity to interview writers of children’s books.
