ALL THE INVITED HAVE ARRIVED WITH THE CLUB – MILLET STALK.

This riddle refers to millet when it has produced its stalk. A millet stalk produces clubs that are tightly bound together, forming a shape like a stick with a clustered head. Because the grains fit together so well, people use this image when telling stories, saying: “All the invited have arrived with the club — the millet stalk.”

This riddle is compared to people who have good understanding and wisdom, and who help one another when they are invited by their partners to work together in life. Such people invite one another to carry out their responsibilities, and each person comes prepared with the right tool for the task. Their intelligence enables them to cooperate well and support each other in their work.

Through this cooperation, they gain prosperity that benefits their families, because they live in unity and mutual support. These people are like millet ears that grow closely together on one stalk, strong and productive because of their togetherness. That is why people speak about them by saying:
“All the invited have arrived with the club — the millet stalk.”

This riddle teaches people to have wisdom and understanding so they can cooperate well in fulfilling their responsibilities. Through such cooperation, they achieve progress and success in their families and in their lives.

KWA NINI UMEMKONDESHA MKWILIMA? – SINDANO.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia Sindano inayotumika kwa kufanya kazi nyingi. Sindano hiyo, hutumiwa kwa kushonea nguo na magodolo pamoja na wembamba wake huo.

Ndiyo maana watu huifananishwa Sindano hiyo na mkwilima kwa sababu naye hufanya kazi nyingi kila wakati, bila hata ya kuona aibu. Yeye hujitolea kufanya kazi hata zile ambazo ni za wengine, mpaga mwishowe hukonda kutokana na mateso ya kufanya kazi nyingi hizo. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwa kuulizana kwamba “kwa nini umemkondesha mkwilima? – Sindano.”

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hutegea kufanya kazi kwa kuwaachia wengine kazi za kwenye familia yake, mpaga mwishowe watu wake hao hukonda. Mtu huyo, huwa hawaonei huruma wafanya kazi wake hao, kwa sababu ya kujijali yeye mwenyewe tu bila ya kuwajali watu wake hao, maishani mwake. Yeye huwaogopesha hata wageni wake kumtembelea katika familia yake kwa sababu ya kuwafanyisha kazi nyingi na ngumu kila wanapomtembelea, kwenye familia yake hiyo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyemtumikisha kazi mkwilima wake mpaka akakonda kama Sindano, kwa sababu naye huwafanyisha kazi ngumu watu wake mpaka wanakonda bila hata ya kuwajali wake hao. Ndiyo maana watu, humuuliza kwamba, “kwa nini umemkondesha mkwilima? – Sindano.”

Kitendawili hicho, huwafundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi zao kwa ushirikiano wa pamoja bila ya kutegea kwa kuwaachia wenzao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio ya kupata mali nyingi, katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

WHY DID YOU MAKE THIN THE SON IN LAW? – NEEDLE.

The foundation of this paradox looks at the Multitasking Needle. The needle is used for sewing clothes and mattresses with its thinness.

That is why people liken it to a son in law who he does a lot of works all the time, without even feeling ashamed. He dedicates himself to work even those that belong to others to the point of losing weight at the end due to the suffering of doing so many jobs. That is why people talk to each other by asking “why did you make thin the son in law?” – Needle.”

This riddle is compared to a person who relies on working by leaving the works in his family to others, but in the end, those people become weak. That person does not feel sorry for his workers, because he only cares about himself without caring about his people in his life. He even scares his guests to visit him in his family because he makes them do a lot of hard works every time when they visit him, in his family.

This person is similar to the one who made his son in law work until he was as thin as a needle, because he also makes his people work hard until they become thin without even caring about them. That is why people ask him that, “why did you make thin the son in law?” – Needle.”

This riddle imparts in people an idea of doing their works in cooperation without relying on others, so that they can achieve success in getting more wealth in their families.
