KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI – TEGA.

NIMEKASHIKA KAKABEMBEA:- KIBEMBEA.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, kinaangalia kitu kichoitwa kibembea. Kibembea hicho, huwa kinafungwa kwa kunig’inizwa juu ya nyumba kwa ndani, ambacho hutengenezwa kwa nyuzi za mkonge. Kibembea hiyo, mtu akikigusa huanza kuchezacheza (kujiviringisha) kwa muda mrefu. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithina kwamba, ‘nimekashika kakabembea: kibembea.’

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye akiguswa kidogo tu hukasilika, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hakawii kugombana na watu kwa sababu ya kutokuguswa kwake huko.

Yeye hufanana na kibembea hicho cha kuning’inizia vyombo, kwa sababu naye ukasilika upesi akiguswa hata kidogo tu, na wenzake. Watu wanaokosana naye, mwishowe hufahamu kwamba, mtu huyo ni mwepezi mno kukasilika. Ndiyo maana watu hao huhadithiana kwamba, ‘nimekashika kakabembea: kibembea.’

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu wa kuwasaidia kuacha hasira za hovyo, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi vizuri na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

THE MOMENT I TOUCHED IT, IT BEGAN SWINGING – “LUSUNDA”.

The source of this riddle is a certain object called lusunda in Kisukuma. This object is made of woven rope always used to hang food stuff in the house (especially in grass-thatched houses) in order to protect that from being eaten by rats and cats. This lusunda tends to swing around when one touches it. This is why people came with the riddle that ‘the moment I touched it, it began swinging – lusunda.

This riddle can be compared to a person who reacts harshly when touched by someone else. Such a person is likely to cause a lot of chaos just because of being touched by someone. People of this behaviour don’t want to be disturbed.

This riddle teaches people about patience. It is through patience where one can have tolerance and being able to work together with other members in a given society.
