1. 'If you have good clothes like the elders, you cant have rags like them'....... They obviously have used more clothes than someone younger.

2. 'The same rain that fell on Sugarcane, fell on bitter leaf'...... How come one is sweet and the other is terribly bitter?

3. 'The hands of a child can't reach the top of a tall thing and that of an adult can't enter a gourd'......We are all useful one way or the other.

4. When a cat makes ablution, it's only stylishly trying to steal fish.......

5. A dry and lifeless tree is still standing while a fresh and fruitful one fell...... This is a mystery

6. Whatever one wouldn't accept when rich, will be rejected from the moment one is poor.
