KUITAFUTIA KWA MIGUU.
Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia utafutaji wa kitu kwa kutumia miguu. Mtu akiwa anatafuta kitu fulani, aweza kutumia njia nyingi, hata kutumia miguu yake, ili aweze kukipata kile anachokitafuta.
Watu wakimuona akikwaluza ardhi kwa kutumia miguu yake hiyo, katika kutafuta kwake, watasema kwamba, ameanza ‘kuitafutia miguu,’ mali hiyo.
Msemo huyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye, hatulii nyumbani kwake. Mtu huyo, huwa anazunguka kwa kuzurura katika sehemu mbalimbali, akitafuta kile anachokifahamu mwenyewe. Lakini akizua ugomvi, au matatizo fulani, watu watasema kwamba, amependa mwenyewe, ‘kuitafutia miguu,’ kesi hiyo.
Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuzurura bila sababu, ili wasijitafutie matatizo ambayo, ni ya kujitakia wenyewe, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: SEARCHING IT BY USING LEGS.
The source of this saying is searching something using one’s legs. When a person is looking for something, he/she can use many means, even using his feet to find out what he/she is looking for.
When people see him/her scratching the land, searching using his own feet they will say that he/she has begun ‘to search it by using legs.’
This saying can be comparable to a person who doesn’t settle in his/her house rather wanders around, looking for something he/she knows himself/herself. When he/she encounters problems, people will say, he/she loved himself/herself to be in problems. In other words, he/she searched for her own problems.
The proverb teaches people to stop wandering for no reason. They need to stay home where necessary in order to avoid some unnecessary problems.
