ENGLISH: THE WILD BOAR THAT HAS CHILDREN IS NOT BITTEN ON LEGS

The source of this proverb is the wild animal known by the name of wild boar. This wild animal, when has children, its children will always surround their mother thus keeping their mothers’ legs always protected against any insect that is likely to harm them through their legs. It is through this kind of protection that people came up with this proverb that ‘the wild boar with children is not bitten on legs’ to communicate the power of children in protecting their mothers against enemies.

The proverb can be compared to a person who has children to support in his or her life. This person is capable of getting help from his/her children in his or her life. This person can be likened to wild boar with children who keep its feet from getting stuck. Children ensure the survival of their mother.

This proverb teaches people on how to take care of their children with hope that these children will help their parents when they are old enough to sustain their lives.
