Udlala ngokuphonsa izinhlamvu zemali emabhodini esitayela se-pachinko bese ubuka okwenzekayo. Izinhlamvu zemali eziwela emaphethelweni angaphambili ziba yiminikelo. Izinhlamvu zemali eziwela emaceleni ziyalahleka. Abanye onkulunkulu bakhetha ukuba khona okuzinzile. Abanye bakhetha ukuphuthelwa eduze. Abanye bakhetha uhlamvu lwemali ukuba luqhekeke emoyeni. Unkulunkulu ngamunye uyajabula ngendlela ehlukile, eqondile. Akekho kubo ozokutshela ukuthi yikuphi.

Uma uqhubeka ukhonza endaweni engcwele, kulapho kushintsha khona. Izinkuni ziyamnyama. Kuvela ithusi. Amakristalu aqala ukukhipha ukukhanya okuncane okukhanyayo.
