# If the fish had learnt to shut its mouth, the hook would never have caught it. # He, who sees a rough river and tries to cross with a small canoe, should not blame God. # A man who thinks everything around him is sweet should remember that bitter leaf grow in the bush with oranges. # The fish that dwells in the waterside of a village never lives to its old age unless it is cunning. # It is the foolish woman who goes under the rain when she is tying only one wrapper. # No body asks from where a married woman gets her pregnancy. # The crab may try to walk, but it will never walk straight # It is a fool who does not recognize the strength of the enemy. # The fish that dwells in the waterside of a village never lives to its old age unless it is cunning. # No matter how big the salt-water palm is, U can;t cave a canoe out of it. # If the singer is a fool, the listener is also a fool. # The hen says, the duck is too dirty to touch her. it is when the wind blows that we see her anus. |

# A wise fish knows that a beautiful worm that looks so easy to swallow has a sharp hook attached to it. # Money is a stranger; it only stays with those who take good care of it. # No body asks from where a married woman gets her pregnancy. # The tongue is a good thing as far as it doesn’t belong to a woman. # Wisdom is like grey hairs that money cannot buy. # He who points a finger at a person has three fingers pointing in his own direction. # If the singer is a fool, the listener is also a fool # The tongue is only 3 inches, but it can kill a man that is 6ft tall. # You do not tell a little child to swear not to play with girls. # If you praise a child today for not killing a grass-cutter, when next he goes out hunting he will kill an antelope. |
