Overview

When I woke daylight had just broken.

Bere a mesɔree no na awia hann abubu nkyɛe.

I attempted to rise, but I could not get up.

Mebɔɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛsɔre, nanso mantumi ansɔre.

I had happened to fall asleep on my back.

Ná ɛbae sɛ mada wɔ m'akyi.

And now my arms and legs were fastened to the ground.

Na afei na wɔde me nsa ne me nan abɔ fam.

My hair, which was long and thick, was tied down too.

Ná wɔakyekyere me ti nhwi a ɛware na ɛyɛ den no nso akɔ fam.

I could only look upward, unable to move in any way.

Ná metumi ahwɛ soro nkutoo, a na mintumi nkɔ baabiara wɔ ɔkwan biara so.

The sun began to grow hot, and the light hurt my eyes.

Owia no fii ase yɛɛ hyew, na hann no yɛɛ m'ani yaw.

I heard a confused noise all around me.

Metee dede bi a ɛyɛ basaa atwa me ho ahyia.

But I could see nothing except the sky above me.

Nanso na mintumi nhu hwee gye wim a ɛwɔ m'atifi.

After a little time I felt something alive.

Bere tiaa bi akyi no metee nka sɛ biribi te ase.

Something was moving on my left leg.

Ná biribi retu wɔ me nan benkum so.

It gently advanced over my chest.

Ɛkɔɔ n'anim brɛoo wɔ me moma so.

And then it came almost up to my chin.

Na afei ɛkame ayɛ sɛ ɛbaa me hwene so.
