Indlu yam eGrândola, xa ndandisengumntwana, yayineendawo ezimbini ezintle zomdla kule ngingqi: igadi ye-1º de Maio, iqonga lemidlalo emnandi kunye nejunkyard encinci, apho ubukhazikhazi obudala obunamavili amane babuphumle.

Andazi ukuba ukusukela ngoko ndiye ndakhulisa umdla okhethekileyo kwiindawo ezishiyiweyo, ukuba ngaba ngokwenene i-vertigo yoluntu ngokubanzi yeendawo ezilolu hlobo.

Mhlawumbi babelana nam ngale ncasa, ukuba kunjalo, nantsi imifanekiso yamangcwaba eemoto zomkhosi eRashiya:
Ukuba eli nqaku livuse umdla wakho, unokufuna ukuthatha "ujongo" kwimbali ye-Alfa Romeos elahliwe kwinqaba e-Itali. Ndicinga ukuba nayo ifanelekile.
