African Proverbs by Ocean2(m): 3:42pm On Aug 27, 2007 |
Proverb they say is the palm oil with which words are eaten!! African tradition is richly endowed with witty and interesting proverbs. I have decided to start this thread dedicated to proverbs. The proverbs could be in any language but of course the English translation should be given. I am opening the floor with these proverbs…… The death that kills a man begins like an appetite When your neighbour’s horse falls into a pit, you should not rejoice at it, for your own child may fall into it too. "A village without elderly is like a well without water." 'Do not insult a crocodile while your feet are still in the water'. The man who has bread to eat does not appreciate the severity of a famine. |
