ENGLISH: THE CLEVER NG’WENGE (BIRD) BUILT ITS NEST USING HEADS OF GRAIN.

The source of this saying comes from the life of a bird known by the name of Ng’wenge in Kisukuma language. This bird is considered to be very intelligent and clever. It tends to keep its food for a long time; until the next season of harvesting comes. This bird tends to build its nest using heads of grain as a way also to protect its collected food from being destroyed. It ensures that the food remains in the heads of grain thus not easily destroyed by agents of destruction.

This saying can be compared to a person who uses his/her mind to search for food and store it properly when he/she finds it. This person can be a very good hard worker and he/she aims at having enough food that can last for a long time. This person is also credited for being a careful person who knows how to plan for future.

The saying teaches people about using their brains in fulfilling their responsibilities and carefully packaging their food they receive so that it can be used for a long time; until the next harvesting season.
