Treni ya mwisho

Tomas anaangalia simu yake. Ni baada ya usiku wa manane. Milango inafungwa. Hajui: treni zinasimama usiku.

Tomas checks his phone. It is after midnight. The gates are closing. He does not know: trains stop at night.

Teksi ni ghali mno. Mwanaume anaonyesha mwelekeo wa barabara. Tomas anapata hoteli ndogo. Analipa kwenye mashine. Analala katika chumba kidogo sana.

A taxi costs too much. A man points down the street. Tomas finds a small hotel. He pays at a machine. He sleeps in a tiny room.

Asubuhi, Tomas ananunua kahawa. Anapanda treni ya kwanza kwenda nyumbani. Amechoka lakini ana furaha. Sasa daima anaangalia: treni ya mwisho ni saa ngapi?

In the morning, Tomas buys coffee. He takes the first train home. He is tired but happy. Now he always checks: when is the last train?
