UMaxwell Osborne no-Dao-Yi Chow balungele uguquko. Ngamafuphi, laba ababili benze inkatho yabo Yesikole Somphakathi kanye namazinga akhulayo abaklami abenqaba ikhalenda elijwayelekile lombukiso wemfashini ukuze bethule izingubo ngohlelo lwabo lwezikhathi olumangalisayo.
Namuhla, njengoba sekuqokwe izindawo zokungcebeleka ezingu-'17 kulo lonke idolobha, u-Chow no-Osborne bakhethe ukwenza umbukiso wemfashini wabesilisa nabesifazane we-Spring '17 ohlanganyelwe. Okusho ukuthi bazobe behleli Iviki Lemfashini ngoSepthemba—okungcono bahlele uhambo lwesonto lonke lokuya e-Ischia noma eTulum, mhlawumbe.
Empeleni, uma kubhekwa izingubo ezimelene nokugunyazwa emgwaqweni wePublic School, ingasaphathwa eyomdlalo wangemuva wabasebenzi basefekthri abangenalutho abashaya ama-cinder blocks, kungenzeka ukuthi u-Chow no-Osborne bangayinaki imibukiso yemfashini ohambweni. e-Athene noma eMadrid nanoma iliphi elinye idolobha lapho intsha ivukela “isimiso” ngokusobala. Futhi ngenxa yesimo sokhetho lukamongameli wase-U.S., kungase kungadingeki bahambe ibanga elide. Okwanele ukusho ukuthi, abafana beSikole Somphakathi sebesitholile isimo sengqondo esibi phakathi kwentsha—futhi nakuba kuwumzamo ofanelekayo ukufunda leso simo sengqondo ezimpahleni, futhi kuyinto ekhohlisayo ngempela ukusidlulisela ngemfashini yezohwebo. Ngisho nomzamo oqotho kakhulu ubeka engcupheni enkulu yokubonakala sengathi i-glib.
Leli qoqo alihlangabezananga neze nenselelo. Kodwa yanikeza iziphakamiso ezicatshangelwayo endleleni. Umbono omuhle kakhulu ka-Chow no-Osborne, lapha, kwakuwukuqamba iyunifomu yamasosha asemadolobheni—owodwa ongajwayelekile futhi oqoqwe ndawonye kunoma yiziphi izinto ezimbi eziseduze. Kokubili ukubukeka kwabesilisa nokwabesifazane kuhlanganiswe nezingubo ezisikiwe, ukuthunga izingubo eziphukile, namapaki eparachute enayiloni kanye nokuphrinta kukasilika okuvalwe ngeso, okuphuzi kwetheyiphu yokuxwayisa. Ukuphrinta, abaklami bathi ngemuva kombukiso, bekuhloswe njengohlobo lwefulegi. Ikhwalithi ye-ragtag yokubukeka ithole umphumela ongcolile; ukubizelwa kwesenzo esihlangene kwakungase kucace kakhudlwana ukube uhla oluhlanganisa umfaniswano webutho le-ragtag beluyiyunifomu eyengeziwe. Omunye usola ukuthi ukucatshangelwa kwezentengiselwano kuphazamise lokho.
Ngaphandle kwalokho (ngamabomu) okuphuzi okukhazimulayo, izici eziheha kakhulu zaleli qoqo kwaba ukuphrinta kwembali encibilikisiwe emnyama nokumhlophe—okuyinto enhle ngokumangalisayo esetshenziswa ekubukekeni okumbalwa kwabesifazane—kanye neziqephu ezingutsheni zabesilisa izinhlamvu ezithi WNL zazibhala phezu kwazo. Izinhlamvu zazimele ukuthi “Sidinga Abaholi”—uhlobo lwesikhalo esiyinqaba somhlangano wokuqoqana ngokuzenzisa (uMnu. Robot ngokwakhe wayephambili, ngendlela) kodwa leyo uChow no-Osborne ababeyihlose ngempela njengeyindida. "Akusekho abaholi bamanga," kusho uChow ngemuva kombukiso. “Ngeke besaba onkulunkulu bamanga,” kwenanela u-Osborne. Noma, njengoba umholi othile ake akubeka: “Siwushintsho esilufunayo.” Imigoqo ye-Aux!
