Usilika uyindwangu enhle kakhulu futhi elula engasetshenziswa ukuthunga amahembe, amabhulawuzi nezinye izingubo. Usilika ungumkhiqizo wemvelo futhi utholakala ezibungwini zovemvane. Usilika ekuqaleni uvela e-China futhi ngaphambilini walethwa eYurophu ngoSilk Road. Ngaleso sikhathi, usilika wawubiza kakhulu: amakhosi kuphela nabanye abantu abacebile ababekwazi ukuthenga izingubo zikasilika.
Imibungu kasilika idla amaqabunga esihlahla sikamalibhele. Lapho sezinenyanga eyodwa ubudala, ziphotha umucu omude kasilika futhi zizisonge ngawo. Le phakheji ibizwa nangokuthi i-cocoon. Ngemva kwesikhashana, amacimbi ayaphuphuma futhi aphenduke abe uvemvane olukhulile.
Kodwa ukuze kutholwe usilika, imifece iyaqoqwa kuqala bese ibiliswa emanzini ashisayo ukuze kubulawe amacimbi. Khona-ke intambo kasilika iyaqaqa ngokucophelela futhi iphothwe ibe yintambo. Intambo iyagezwa, igaywe ibe ngamabhala bese idayiwa. Emshinini wokuluka, intambo ilukwa ibe ubude bendwangu, engase isetshenziselwe ukwenza amatshali, izingubo zokugqoka, nokunye okuningi.
