WATOTO WA KWETU HUBISHANA KUTEMBEA – MAGOTI.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, huangalia utembeaji wa mtu. Mtu anapotembea miguu yake huwa haiendi kwa pamoja kwa sababu hupishana mmoja mmoja. Kwa hiyo basi, magoti nayo yako pamoja na miguu inavyotembea. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwamba, “watoto wa kwetu hubishana kutembea – magoti.”

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa watu wa kwenye familia ile ambayo watu wake huwa wanasikilizana katika maongezi yao kwa kupeana zamu, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, huachiana zamu ya kuongea kwa kumsikiliza kila mmoja wao mpaka anamaliza vizuri kuongea ndipo na mwingine anaanza, kwa sababu ya heshima walionayo kwa kila mmoja wao. Wao huishi katika upendo wa kusaidiana vizuri kila mmoja anapowahitaji wenzake, kwa sababu ya uelewano wao huo mzuri, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, hufanana na yale magoti ambayo hupeana zamu katika kutembea, kwa sababu nao huachiana zamu ya kuongea mpaka mmoja wao anamaliza ndipo na mwingine anaanza kuongea, kwenye familia yao hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu hao huhadithiana kwamba, “watoto wa kwetu hubishana kutembea – magoti.”

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

OUR RELATIVES CHILDREN ARGUE ABOUT WALKING – KNEES.

The source of the above riddle looks at a person’s walking. When a person walks his legs do not move together because they overlap one by one. Therefore, the knees are also with the legs as they move. That is why people say to one another that, “Our relatives children argue about walking – knees.”

This riddle is compared to the members of a family whose people listen to each other in their conversations in their lives. These people take turns talking to each other until they have finished talking and then the other can start doing so, because of the respect they have for each other. They live in love of helping each other well when they are in need, because of their good understanding in their lives.

These people are like the knees that take turns walking, because they also take turns talking until one of them finishes and the other can start talking to their family members. That is why these people tell each other that, “Our relatives children argue about walking – knees.”

This paradox teaches people on how to have a good sense of respect on one another in their conversations by letting each other talk until one finishes and then they can start talking to each other, so that they can live well and peacefully in their lives.

AT OUR HOME TODAY WE WILL EAT SOMETHING SMELLY – BAMBARA NUTS.

The foundation of the overhead riddle talks about eating of Bambara nuts. If these Bambara nuts are cooked when they are raw, people do not peel their pods, because they tend to bring near to their mouth and squeeze where the Bambara nuts come out by themselves by jumping in the mouth and eating them as if they smell like this. That is why people say to one another that, “at our home today we will eat something smelly – Bambara nuts.”

This riddle is compared to people who have harmony in their families. These people, in turn, make plans to help each other enough to work in harmony with each other, because of their mutual understanding, in their lives. They reap a bountiful harvest in their labors, because of their good arrangement in their lifetime.

These people resemble the Bambara nuts that the people used to eat by bringing them near to their mouths and squeezing enough to let them jump into their mouths, because they also carry out their duties in a good way, until they manage to get enough wealth to take care of their families. That is why they tell people that, “at our home today we will eat something smelly – Bambara nuts.”
