Mu 1790, hari Umufaransa witwaga Sifrac, wari umuhanga cyane.

Umunsi umwe yari arimo agenda mu muhanda i Paris. Imvura yari yaraguye umunsi ushize, kandi byari bigoye cyane kugenda mu muhanda. Ako kanya imodoka yagendaga inyuma ye iramucika. Umuhanda wari muto n'imodoka yagutse, na Sifracyahunze imugwaho, ariko yuzuye ibyondo n'imvura. Abandi bamubonye baramubabarira, bararakara cyane bashaka guhagarika imodoka ngo baganire ku bintu. Ariko Sifracbaratontomye bati “Hagarara, hagarara, maze ubareke bagende.”

Ubwo igare ryari kure, yakomeje guhagarara ahagaze ku muhanda adatembera, yibaza ati: Umuhanda ni muto cyane, kandi hari abantu benshi, kuki igare ritahindurwa? Igare rigomba gucibwamo kabiri mu muhanda, maze amapine ane ahindukamo amapine abiri… Yabitekereje atyo maze ajya mu rugo gushushanya. Nyuma yo kugerageza kenshi, mu 1791 hubatswe “igare ry’ifarashi ry’ibiti” rya mbere. Igare rya mbere ryari rikozwe mu giti kandi ryari rifite imiterere yoroshye. Nta muvuduko waryo cyangwa imiyoborere ryari rifite, bityo uwari uri ku igare yasunikaga cyane hasi akoresheje ibirenge bye maze biba ngombwa ko avamo kugira ngo ahindure icyerekezo.

Nubwo bimeze bityo, igihe Sifracyafashe igare ajya kuzenguruka muri pariki, abantu bose baratangaye kandi baratangaye.
