Idlelo yindawo eluhlaza apho kukhula ingca kunye nemifuno. I-Meadows inokwahluka kakhulu, ihlala kwizilwanyana ezahlukeneyo kwaye ikhule ngokwahlukileyo. Oko kuxhomekeke kubume bomhlaba kunye nemozulu yalapho: kukho amadlelo aluhlaza anezityalo ezininzi kwiintlambo zemilambo nakumachibi, kodwa namathafa engca akhule kakhulu kwindawo enelanga neyomileyo yeentaba.
Amadlelo alikhaya lezilwanyana nezityalo ezininzi: iintshulube ezininzi, izinambuzane, iimpuku neentuku zihlala emadlelweni naphantsi kwamadlelo. Iintaka ezinkulu ezifana nengwamza nookhwalimanzi zisebenzisa amadlelo ukuze zitye. Iintaka ezincinci ezifana ne-skylark, ezikwaziyo ukuzimela engceni, zikwakha iindlwane zazo apho, oko kukuthi, zisebenzisa amadlelo njengeendawo zokuzalela.
Ukuba yeyiphi ingca kunye nemifuno ekhula emadlelweni ixhomekeke ekubeni imanzi okanye yomile kangakanani, ishushu okanye iyabanda, kwaye inelanga okanye inomthunzi ethafeni. Kukwabalulekile ukuba zingaphi izondlo ezisemhlabeni kunye nokuba umhlaba ungawagcina kangakanani na amanzi kunye nezondlo. Ezona zityalo zixhaphakileyo nezaziwa kakhulu eYurophu ziquka iidaisies, iidandelions, i-meadowfoam, i-yarrow, kunye ne-buttercups.
Abantu bawasebenzisela ntoni amadlelo?
I-Meadows idalwe ngabantu kangangamawaka eminyaka. Zihlala kuphela emadlelweni kuba zichetywa rhoqo. Ingca echetyiweyo ikufanelekela ukutya kweenkomo, iigusha okanye iibhokhwe. Ukuze izilwanyana zibe nokutya ebusika, nto leyo esoloko ilondolozwa. Umzekelo, uyomisa kwifula kwaye uyigcine kamva.
Amadlelo awasetyenziswa kuphela njengomthombo wefula kwezolimo. Zikwasetyenziswa njengendawo yokuxoka neyokuzonwabisa kwiipaki, okanye njengendawo yokudlala imidlalo efana nebhola ekhatywayo okanye yegalufa. Ukuba indawo eluhlaza ayichetywanga kodwa isetyenziswa ngamadlelo emfuyo, ibizwa ngokuba lidlelo.
