Afei, momma yɛnka wo mfiri nhyehyɛe ho asɛm. Woanya saa nwene afiri a ahoɔden wom yi, na eye sɛ wubegye adi sɛ ɛbɛyɛ anwonwade sɛ wo ne no di no yiye a.

Na woannya akokoɔduro mmu w'ani ngu hia a **nifa so stabilizer** no ho hia so. Woremmɔ mmɔden sɛ wubetu mmirika a ɛyɛ den wɔ flip-flops mu, ɛnte saa? Wiɛ, ɛno na ɛba bere a wo skimp wɔ stabilizers so no. Mpɛn pii no, ade a ɛma wo ho yɛ den a wotwa no yɛ nea ɛkɔ so efisɛ ɛma biribiara kɔ so yɛ nea ɛyɛ den a ɛrenkyinkyim wo nsusuwii no.
