KISWAHILI: SIMBA DUME HAKOSI SHALUBU

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chatokea kwenye simba dume. Simba huyo huwa na alama ya kumtambulisha kuwa yeye ni dume, iitwayo shalubu. Kila simba dume anashalubu. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ´simba dume hakosi shalubu.´

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu mwanaume ajulikanaye hivyo kwa kuitunza vizuri familia yake. Utunzaji huo wa familia yake, hufanana na shalubu la yule simba, limtambulishalo kuwa yeye ni dume. Mtu huyo huwafundisha  pia watu wake namna ya kuishi vizuri na watu. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ´simba dume hakosi shalubu.’

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kujali kazi zao kwa kuishi vizuri na wenzao. Maisha hayo, yatawatambulisha, maishani mwao, kuwa wao ni binadamu wenye tabia njema.
