Iibhokhwe luhlobo lwezilwanyana ezanyisayo. Phakathi kwazo kukho ibhokhwe yasendle, ekuye kwaveliswa kuyo ibhokhwe yasekhaya. Xa sithetha ngeebhokhwe, siqhele ukuthetha ngeebhokhwe zasekhaya. Kunye nezinja neegusha, iibhokhwe zezona zilwanyana zasekhaya zixhaphakileyo ehlabathini. Izalamane zasendle zeebhokhwe zasekhaya yibhokhwe kunye nechamois kwiiAlps zethu.
Imazi yesilwanyana kuthiwa yibhokhwe okanye ibhokhwe, inkunzi yinkunzi. Isilwanyana esincinci sibizwa ngokuba yibhokhwe, ibhokhwe, okanye ibhokhwe, njengakwintsomi ethi "Ingcuka kunye nabantwana abaSixhenxe abancinci". ESwitzerland, ibizwa ngokuba yiGitzi. Iibhokhwe zineempondo: iimazi zineempondo ezimfutshane ezigobileyo nje kancinci, logama iinkunzi zineempondo ezigobileyo kwaye zinokukhula zibe ngaphezulu kwemitha ubude.
Iibhokhwe zikholisa ukuhlala ezintabeni. Balungile, abakhweli abakhuselekileyo. Zizilwanyana ezonga kakhulu. Zikwatya nokutya okuqinileyo nokomileyo. Zonga ngakumbi kuneegusha kwaye zonga ngakumbi kuneenkomo zobisi.
Abantu, ke ngoko, baziqhelanisa neebhokhwe ngaphezu kweminyaka eyi-13,000 eyadlulayo, kwiXesha laMatye. Oku mhlawumbi kwenzeka kwiMpuma Ekufuphi. Emva koko babezalisa iibhokhwe ukuze zibe luncedo ngakumbi kubo. Iibhokhwe aziniki nje inyama kuphela kodwa nobisi yonke imihla. Isikhumba sebhokhwe sikwathandwa kakhulu. Nanamhlanje, abakhenkethi abaninzi bathenga iibhatyi okanye amabhanti enziwe ngesikhumba sebhokhwe xa beseholideyini kumazwe asempuma.
Iibhokhwe zizilwanyana ezanyisayo. Baye baqole ngokwesondo kunyaka wokuqala wobomi, ngoko ke banokutshata kwaye benze batsha. Ixesha lokumitha limalunga neenyanga ezintlanu. Amaxesha amaninzi amawele azalwa.
Ibhokhwe iwancancisa amatakane ayo kangangeenyanga ezilishumi. Izilwanyana ezindala ziyetyisa. Ziginya ukutya kwazo kwihlathi, emva koko zikubuyise kwakhona zize zikuhlafune kakuhle. Emva koko baginya ukutya behle baye esiswini esichanekileyo.
