Muuse Cumar Islaan·1973

Labaatan iyo toddoba sheeko dhaqameed oo gaagaaban oo uu ururiyey Muuse Cumar Islaan, waxaana soo saartay Wasaaradda Hiddaha iyo Tacliinta Sare 1973, sannad kadib markii afka Soomaaliga si rasmi ah loo qoray. Xayawaan iyo dad, boqorro, doqonno iyo kuwa caqliga leh: sheeko kastaa waxay sidaa murti Soomaaliyeed, qaarkoodna gabay ayaa ku dhex jira.Twenty-seven short traditional stories gathered by Muuse Cumar Islaan and published by the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education in 1973, a year after Somali was first written officially. Animals and people, kings, fools and the wise: each story carries a piece of Somali wisdom, and some break into verse along the way.
