KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI  – TEGA: MBURUTO WA KIFARU – ALAMA YA MPITO WA NYOKA.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hiki chaangalia alama ya nyota alimopitia. Nyoka huacha alama inayomtambulisha kila anapopitia. Alama hiyo humwezesha kila anayeiona kuelewa kuwa amepita nyoka, kwa sababu alama hiyo huonesha umbo lake lilivyo. Ndiyo maana watu hutegeana kitendawili kwamba, ‘mburuto wa kifaru‘ na kujibu ‘Alama ya mpito wa nyoka’.

Kitendawili hiki, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hutenda maovu katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo ana tabia ya kuonea wenzake na kujidai kujua zaidi kuliko wenzake katika maongezi yake. Yeye hufanana na alama ya mpito wa nyoka, kwa sababu hufanya maovu ambayo humtambulisha kwa watu kuwa ndiye aliyeyatenda. Mtu huyo hukosa hata watu wa kuongea naye, kwa sababu watu wanaifahamu tabia yake ilivyo mbaya. Ndiyo maana watu hutegeana kitendawili kwamba ‘mburuto wa kifaru’ na kujibu, ‘Alama ya mpito wa nyoka.’

Kitendawili hiki, hufundisha watu kuacha tabia mbaya na kuwafahamu wenzao kwa kuangalia matendo yao maishani, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao maishani. Yafaa kila mmoja awe mwangalifu kwa mwenzake.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME: A RHINO’S TRACE – THE TRACE OF A SERPENT.

The foundation of this riddle is a trace of a snake. The snake leaves a mark that identifies its passage. The mark enables everyone who sees it to understand that a serpent passed, because the mark shows the true nature of the snake. That’s why people pose a riddle, ‘a rhino’s trace’ and repond, ‘The trace of serpent.’

The riddle is used comparatively to refer to a person who does evil in his/her life. The person has a tendency of bullying others and is a much-know in his/her talks. He/she resembles the trace of a serpent, because he/she does evil that identifies him/her as the doer. This person doesn’t get people to talk to, because people know his/her bad behavior. That’s why people pose a riddle, ‘a rhino’s trace’ and repond, ‘The trace of serpent.’

This riddle, teaches people to refrain from bad habits and get to know their peers through their actions, so that they can live in harmony with others. Everyone should be careful with one another.
