KISWAHILI: KUKU WAMEACHANIA MAWE YA KUNYWEA MAJI.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chatokea kwenye mawe ya kunyweshea kuku maji. Mawe hayo yana kina kirefu cha kutosha kutunzia maji hayo ya kuku. Kuku hao ambayo hunywea maji kwenye mawe hayo, wakigombana, hutengana hata sehemu hizo za kunywea maji kwa sababu hawapendani. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘kuku wameachania mawe ya kunywea maji.’

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wanaundugu mmoja. Watu hao wakikosana huacha hata kusalimiana wakutanapo. Ndiyo maana watu huwafananisha na kuku waliogombana, kwa husema kwamba, ‘kuku wameachania mawe ya kunywea maji.’

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha ugonvi ili waweze kuishi pamoja na wenzao kwa upendo na amani, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: CHICKEN HAVE GIVEN UP SHARING THEIR DRINKING WATER STONES.

The source of the saying comes from chicken that stopped from sharing water drinking stones. The stones are deep enough to hold water for chicken to drink. The chicken sharing the water drinking stone can quarrel as a result they separate because they no longer like each other. In describing this scenario one can use the saying that ‘chicken have given up sharing their drinking water stones’ to communicate enemity among chicken.

The saying can be compared to those people within the family who quarrel to the extent of not greeting each other. To describe such people one can use this saying that ‘chicken have given up sharing their drinking water stones.’

The saying teaches people to stop fighting in order to bring about love and peace in families.
