KISWAHILI: FISI KATENGENEZA MIGUU.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chaangalia fisi anavyojitafutia chakula. Fisi huyo, huitumia miguu yake, kwa kujitafutia chakula chake. Yeye hutafuta nyama, akizipata hufurahi. Hicho ndicho chanzo cha kusema kwamba, ‘Fisi katengeneza miguu.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huitumia miguu yake kwa kujitafutia, mahitaji yake yakiwemo yale ya chakula, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, hutafuta kazi za kufanya na kuzipata, kwa sababu ya kujibidisha kwake. Yeye huzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake hizo, kwa sababu ya bidii yake kubwa aliyo nayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na Fisi yule ambaye hujitafutia nyama mpaga anazipata, kwa sababu naye, huitumia miguu yake kwa kujitafutia mali, na kufanikiwa kuzipata, maishani mwake. Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake njia za kujitafutia vitu mpaga wanavipata. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘Fisi katengeneza Miguu.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuitumia miguu yao, kwa kujibidisha kutafuta mahitaji yao yawezayo kuwasaidia katika siku za mbeleni, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao.

ENGLISH: THE HYENA EATS BY ITS FEET.

The source of this saying is the way hyenas search for their food. These wild animals tend to use their feet effectively in searching for food. They can travel for a long distance looking for food to sustain their lives. This is why people can describe the relationship between hyenas and their ability to search food using the saying that ‘the hyena eats by its feet.’

This saying can be compared to a person who uses his/her feet for self pursuits. These pursuits may include food or any other necessity. Such a person can use a lot of efforts to make sure that he/she gets what he/she wants.

The proverb teaches people about using their feet effectively in order to get their necessities in life. This will help them to have good life and take good care of their families.
