KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI – TEGA.

HATA UJITAHIDI KUMLENGA KWA MSHALE NAMNA GANI MTOTO HUYO HUTAMPIGA – UFUTA.”

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia ufuta ambao ni mdogo sana. Ufuta hata mtu ajitahidi kuulenga kwa mshale ili aupige hataweza, kwa sababu ya udogo wake huo. Wenyewe ni mdogo lakini ni mtamu kwa kuula. Ndiyo kusema kwamba, kitu hata kikiwa kidogo namna gani, kinafaida yake katika maisha ya mwanadamu. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwamba, “hata ujitahidi kumlenga kwa mshale namna gani mtoto huyo hutampiga – ufuta.”

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwadharau watu walioko chini yake kwa sababu ya udogo wa miili yao. Mtu huyo, huwa haioni faida ya watu walioko chini yake, kwa sababu ya dharau aliyo nayo kwao, maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuilea vyema familia yake kwa sababu ya kuwadharau hovyo watu waliopo kwenye familiya yake hiyo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliudahau ututa kwa kuangalia udogo wa umbo la zao hilo, hata akashindwa kuona faida yake, kwa sababu naye huwadharau watu walioko chini yake mpaga anashindwa kuona faida yao kwenye familia yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “hata ujitahidi kumlenga kwa mshale namna gani mtoto huyo hutampiga – ufuta.”

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kuwadharau hovyo watu walioko chini yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika utekelezaji wa majukuku yao, katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

EVEN IF YOU TRY TO TARGET WITH AN ARROW YOU WILL NOT HIT THAT CHILD – SAMSAM.

The basis of this paradox looks at a very small crop which is known as samsam. Even if someone tries to aim at it with an arrow, he will not be able to hit it, because of its small size. They themselves are small but they are sweet to eat. That is to say that, no matter how small something is, it is useful to human life. That is why people tell each other that, “even if you try to target with an arrow, you will not hit that child – Samsam.”

This puzzle is equated to a person who despises people who are under him because of smallness of their bodies. Such person never sees benefit of people who are under him, because of a contempt that he has to them, in his life. He fails to raise his family well because of his carelessness to his people.

This person relates to the one who underestimated the small size of that small crop, until he failed to see its benefit, because he also despises the people who are under him to the point of failing to see their benefit in his family. That is why people tell him that, “even if you try to target with an arrow, you will not hit that child – Samsam.”

This riddle teaches people about stopping belittling the people who are under them, so that they can achieve a lot of success in raising their children, in their families.

Alipofika kule alianza kupata matatizo ya kukosa chakula na mavazi. Wenzake alioowaacha kijijini mwake, walimtafuta mpaka wakamuona na kufahamu alivyokuwa akihangaika. Ndiyo maana walimwambia kwamba, “rudi mtoto.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa wazazi wale ambao huwarudisha kwenye malezi mema watoto wao waliokiuka maadili yao kwa kuwajali vizuri maishani mwao. Wazazi hao, huwajali watoto hao hao kwa kuishi nao vizuri, mpaga wanaweza kuyaishi maadili yao vizuri. Wao huwakuza vizuri watoto wao hao kwa kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.”

ENGLISH: COME BACK CHILD.

This saying speaks of a child who was told to return to his home. There was one child who went to Shinyanga town thinking that he would have a good life there. When he got there, he started having problems such as lack of food and clothing. His friends, whom he left in his village, looked for him until they saw him and realized that he was facing problems. That is why they told him that, “come back child.”

This saying is compared to parents who return their children who have violated their values to a good upbringing by taking good care of them in their lives. These parents, take care of those children by living well with them within their values. They raise their children well by raising their families well, in their lives.

ENGLISH: SLIPPING CONDITION HAS SLIPPED ME.

There was a man who was walking when it was raining. He man walked with difficulty because of an intensity of such rain that fell on the land enough to make it wet. He slipped until he fell because of the slippery rain condition. That is why he said that, “slipping condition has slipped me.”

This saying is related to a person who walks during the rain without being very careful in his life. Such person walks quickly when it has rained heavily because of a lack of attention in his journeys. He smears his body with mud because of frequent falling, in his travels.
