Rooxaan

Spirits

Shire Jaamac Axmed·1973

Sheeko gaaban oo ku saabsan Guhaad, wiil ka yimid tuulada Gellinsoor oo aan joojin su’aalaha. Markii lacag ka lunto Muqdisho oo laga shakiyo, wuxuu u tagaa Shiikh Muxsin, oo la sheego inuu la hadlo rooxaanta, wuxuuna ogaadaa waxa runtii ka dhaca mugdiga guriga shiikha. Waxay ku dhammaanaysaa maahmaah: «Meeshii iftiin soo galo mugdi wuu ka baxaa».A short story of Guhaad, a boy from the village of Gellinsoor who will not stop asking questions. When money goes missing in Muqdisho and he is suspected, he goes to Shiikh Muxsin, who is said to speak with spirits, and finds out what really happens in the dark of the sheikh’s house. It ends with a proverb: where light comes in, darkness goes out.
