5This summer was a hard one-and please, let's not start with the typical, “Come on, it's still September….”Henjana ny andro mafana tamin'ity fahavaratra ity, ary azafady, aza atomboka amin'ny mahazatra hoe “Aiza kosa fa mbola Septambra izao ….”
6Summer has ended; autumn is here.Efa tapitra ny andro mafana, efa mihitsan-dravina izao.
7And this past summer brought a lesson that will continue through autumn and winter and long after, as long as the misery inside and outside our country persists.Nitondra lesona ity fotoan'andro mafana lasa ity izay hitohy mandritra ny mihintsan-dravina sy ny ririnina ary ny aorian'izany raha mitohy ny fahantrana anatiny sy ivelan'ny firenenay.
