KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI  –  TEGA.

AMEKUFA ZAMANI LAKINI ANAONEKANA – TUTA.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, huangalia tuta. Tuta hilo, huwa linalimwa kwa ajili ya kupanda viazi. Hivyo, wakulima hao hata wakivichimba viazi walivyovilima ndani yake, lenyewe huwa halipotei, kwa sababu ya ukubwa wake ujioneshao wazi kwamba lilikuwepo tuta hapo. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwamba, “amekufa zamani lakini anaonekana – tuta.”

Kitendawili hicho hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hutenda matendo mema kwa wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa na upendo mkubwa ambao humsaidia kuishi vizuri na watu wake. Yeye hukumbukwa na watu wengi kwa sababu ya hayo matendo yake mema aliyowatendea watu wake hao, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na lile tuta ambalo halikupotea, kwa sababu naye huwatemdea mema watu wake ambao huendelea kuyakumbuka, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, “amekufa zamani lakini anaonekana – tuta.”

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na upendo wa kuwasaidia wenzao walioko kwenye matatizo, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha, katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

IT DIED LONG AGO BUT IT APPEARS – A RIDGE.

The basis of the overhead riddle looks at the embankment. The embankment is usually a cultivated ridge which is used for sweet potato planting. Thus, even when farmers dig up the potatoes which they grew in it, this ridge does not disappear, because of the big size of it. That is why people tell each other that, “it died long ago but it appears – a ridge.

This riddle is compared a person who does good deeds to others, in his life. This person, in turn, has deep love for him/her fellows in the family. He/she is remembered by many people because of the good deeds which he/she did for others, in life.

This person is like the embankment that is never lost, because he/she also treats his/her people with fond memories, in their lives. That is why these people say that, “it died long ago but it appears – a ridge.”

This riddle instills in people an idea on how to love their followers by helping them in their basic need, so that they can live happily in their own families.
